Relaxing and now back to work

As I had menetioned earlier in the week, Thanksgiving vacation is usually one of my favorite vacations. It is not going anywhere or doing anything special; that is actually what makes it so nice. Summer vacations are wrapped around trips, guests, or housework (you know those projects you can't get to in a normal week - like painting or building).

Sure, there is shopping and cooking, but overall that is mostly it. So, this is what my week has looked like:
Monday - took my boys to a late lunch and went grocery shopping by myself
Tuesday - went to see my Dad and played dominos with him all afternoon (which I won BTW)
Wednesday - Ira and I made the cranberry sauce for Thursday, delivered a Thanksgiving dinner for a family that didn't have an oven, and stopped and had dinner on the way home.
Thursday - Cooked all day (with help from my sous chef), watched some football, ate dinner, and went to a friend's house for dessert.
Friday - never left the house. Did some housework in the morning. Put away the Halloween decorations and took down the Christmas boxes, which will stay in the garage for a couple more weeks. We played games all night - cribbage, trivial pursuit, and dominos. This lasted from after-dinner to 12:30 :-)
Saturday - Played games on the computer, took a nap, and Ira and I went to the outlet mall that night to catch the Nike basketball show sale (it was only 7 - 9), and stopped for dinner afterwards.
Sunday (today) - church, and football. For me football means watching it all day from the comfort of my recliner while monitoring my fantasy football games, for Ira it means a flag football tournament in the cold.

Tomorrow is back to work for a few more weeks until Christmas vacation. I am hoping that tomorrow my mind will be clear, rested, and ready to be productive - 4 more weeks to close out the year and exceed my number.
