Done Gone Home
A day in the life:
1. Wake up to three cats and dog in bed.
2. Shower, dress, and head down to favorite coffee shop in the world to get caffinated.
3. Trek with mother to drug store and then to yarn shop (also of favorite-in-world variety). Discover on drive that mother expects me to make entire T-giving day dinner. Have never done this before - not even remotely.
4. Head home, yank out Dad's old Fanny Farmer cookbook. Write down things I think I can make that sound Thanksgiving-ish. Yell and mother and brother to shut the hell up while I try to think.
5. Google 'How to cook turkey'.
6. Go with brother to grocery. Buy stuff.
7. Return home. Brother suggests an episode of Firefly, which I bought him on DVD in attempt to hook him in.
8. Watch not one but two episodes. Heh.
9. Run to barn to visit horse. Clean stall, chat with friends.
10. Drive by friends' place to say him. End up staying for dinner. Mmmm, pot roast. I never appreciated it properly when Dad was here to make it.
11. Home to try to thaw turkey in sink, seeing as how there's not enough time to thaw it in the fridge before T-giving. Must rotate water every 30 minutes.
12. Firefly
13. Firefly. Heh again. That's hook #2; should get new toaster in mail any day now.
14. From here through rest of night: thawing turkey.
