I've totally lost track of anything we might have been talking about.  How did you "get through" Thanksgiving?  Mine was very quiet.  I didn't even go out with my friend, which we usually do.  I just wasn't in the mood for it. 
 
Also, I was very turned off by the "shopping promotions" urging people to get out at 6:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day and the next Friday. People certainly did it as the paper ran a picture of people lined up at a toy store at 6:00 a.m. My apartment is "just off" the main boulevard, about a mile, and to go almost anywhere I have to "do the boulevard."  That was enough to keep me from going out at all, because of the traffic.  I did go out for a biscuit on Sat., because McDonalds is right up the street, and can be reached by a side road.  I also went to the movies that evening, but took the interstate through town.  I sort of watched, and taped as well, the X-files marathon which ran Thanksgiving Day, but I studied the whole time, sort of half watching, as I had seen every show--some twice.  Otherwise I made a point of walking every day, or sometimes twice a day.  I did not want to come back from the time off having gained weight.  I realized leaving work Wednesday that I didn't have milk and dreaded having to face the grocery stores, but then remembered I had a couple of cups frozen, so I skipped the trip altogether.  A lot of what I did was study Tax Law.  The apt. complex was pretty deserted, so all in all it was peaceful.  One morning, after sitting up late, I actually slept until 10 a.m., which is totally unusual for me.
