Thursday Update

Posted on 11/11/2021 by chick
  • Most people seem thrilled about the upcoming holidays, and I’m happy for them. But I find both Thanksgiving and Christmas to be stressful, and I am not looking forward to either. I wish we could stay on Halloween for the remainder of the year. Costumes and candy are the way to go.
  • Speaking of the holidays, we got ourselves let off the hook for Thanksgiving dinner. Whew! My Thanksgiving hostess prep flew out the window when Covid happened. And, even though theoretically we had a lot more time to prepare for this year’s holiday, we still do not have all the stuff we need, we don’t have our recipes worked out, and our house is in chaos because of the work my husband has been doing. I don’t even want to think about the stress that would have ensued if his family had decided that we needed to do Thanksgiving here.
  • The puzzle idea that I mentioned a while back has made it to the next stage of approval. Now my coworkers are looking at it to decide if the idea has merit. So far all of the comments have been positive. I know that these people are not just trying to be kind, because they’re not known for pulling punches (TBH, some of them are kind of mean, though I won’t say which). Plus I have a second idea on the table, and they do not love that one. That’s fine and not unexpected. That is to say, things are going as I had thought they would, and my ego has not had to suffer a bruising. There’s still time for them to destroy me, though, so I’ll keep the box of Kleenex nearby, just in case. (I tell the kids that if you’re going to be creative you have to learn to deal with the haters. That is true, of course, but it doesn’t mean that there won’t be any crying.)
