Hello!

"Low Key Thanksgiving" at my house was fine, but I forgot that I'm a bit Extra sometimes, so I did spend more time cooking than 'low key' really required. But it was good. The kids sat at the table, ate some food.  However, we went from Ty being sick to Meg being sick right about then (bad colds most likely). 

Friday we went up to the White Mountains for our air bnb stay, and it was nice! the house was kind of chilly so we were a bit aggressive with the heaters & fireplace, but it was called Viewtopia, and honestly YES Views. 180 degrees!  And Dan did an epic hike, and me and the kids relaxed, I read Wonder start to finish, and we went swimming at the 'community center.' It's been a while since we did that and they were full of joy. 

It is had to watch spending when you have picky eaters and are On Vacation. I brought food, but didn't have certain things the kids would eat - no butter for grilled cheese or mac n cheese, for example -  and then I didn't feel like spending 5 dollars on butter at the nearest grocery store.  Oddly I spent 15 on restaurant chicken tenders & fries instead? And they were delicious?

IDK. Trying to get a handle on that. Car is done, sent my check in for my stickers. I forgot that in Ohio, you can't get your registration renewed till e-check, but in NH it's totally separate, and it's 'state inspection.' So i was waiting for inspection to do my renewal and I didn't need to. Hopefully my stickers come soon but at least I can demonstrate I paid for 'em.

Meg is home sick today though she's better today than yesterday. It is warmer - it was 15-18 overnight in the mountains, warmed up to 30 by afternoon and then cooled down again immediately because of sunlight.... but back here at home it's a balmy 35. That's fine, man. Less than 10 degrees is when I balk.  Less than 20 makes me say 'it is cold!'

(Oddly, in the house, my threshold is 68. I start looking for blankets and thermostats at 68 but am fine at 69, Nice)

Anyway. Today, I have nothing on my agenda, so I am hopefully going to do some bigger projects and just work quietly for a change.
