Let the Season Begin

Michael's still in pain. The dentist wanted to knock down the infection before he opened it up on Monday, so he prescribed a run of antibiotics, Motrin and some lovely painkillers. Strong painkillers. He is a bit goofy, not able to drive and drifts on and off. He needs to paint something for a friend today so I am going to drive him there, work out at the other rehab then treat him to lunch.

I was rather relieved that no one was sneezing or ill at Thanksgiving. Dodged another bullet. I think the mild Fall has helped to keep the flu at bay. We remember to wash our hands when we arrive home and use the sanitizing gel everytime we get into the car after being in a store or bank or supermarket. It has become a good habit.

We spoke with William on Thanksgiving. His contribution to the dinner was making waffles with the flavors and ingredients of stuffing. Rather brilliant. He said it was delicious. Ever since his second year of college, he has not been home for Thanksgiving. It was a lot of difficult traveling for a dinner. We are looking forward to the time he will be with us at Christmas.

The Christmas Season. I already have the radio in the car set to the station playing holiday music 24/7. The DVDs will begin this week with Home Alone, Love Actually and White Christmas. Here we go.
