That’s a holiday, right? Thanksgiving eve? I don’t care if it is or not, I am going to celebrate it. For tomorrow we dine!

Yes, it looks like I am sharing T-Day with JC and EC and TC. I will start cooking the turkey tomorrow before I head down there. I think the other stuff I can make while there. The stuffing takes no time. Nor does the gravy. The Brussels Sprouts take a bit of time – so maybe I will at least cut those up tomorrow before heading South. Oh, and cranberry sauce – I think that takes almost no time as well. So excited! I do enjoy cooking.

Speaking of which, I came to a realization last night. I could re-watch the Baking Show episodes! I mean, why not. People do watch reruns. Heck, I’ve watched Ted Lasso three times. Maybe four. And the same with Gilmore Girls. So, why not the British Bake-Off. I wonder if Netflix will secure the rights to the first five seasons someday. I wouldn’t mind watching those. Anyway, I have started watching Bake Off again, starting with season 5! Woo hoo!

I did my first shelf of books in a long time. And I have completely forgotten how I did it before. I had thought I had used my laptop, but it is possible that I was using my phone. I would also like to get it working on my tablet in case I decide that I will let other people catalog some books. Not likely, but it is possible.

Scanning is temporarily paused. I am trying to decide how many random pictures of mom I want to scan. I have found some photo albums from her time in China. I am still in awe of her doing that. How amazingly brave and inspiring. Anyway, I can’t think of anyone in my immediate circle who is dying to or would be dying to see pictures of trips and experiences that mom had that didn’t include them. Like a trip to Hawaii that I didn’t even realize she had taken. I might scan one picture from each album or something. What I really want to find is all the pictures from 1957 to 1984 before things started going digital. I’ll keep looking. And scanning, where appropriate.

High School – but who?

The Town of Geneva supervisor lied to me. He told me that the credit card machine was going to be fixed this week. It wasn’t. Poo on him. I will call him again on Monday I guess. Or send another email.

Today was a one dash day. A long dash. It started at around 8:15 am and ended around 1:45 pm. 5 hours and ten minutes on the clock. 4 hours and 14 minutes of actual work time. I did ok money wise. I also chatted with a bunch of different dashers. I had two long waits – one at McDonalds and one at KFC. The one at KFC was crazy long. Apparently the store manager thought it wasn’t going to be busy so didn’t schedule many people. And it was a huge order from the National Guard people. (That wasn’t tipped enough imho) Oops. I think I will try this schedule again next week.

A potential cleaner came by and wasn’t freaked out about the areas I wanted her to tackle. Woo hoo! I think she will be scheduling a work visit for sometime during the second week of December. That would be cool!

Augustus for President: I keep telling people I am running, but not in an “in your face” sort of way. I am sure I will get there eventually. But until I can accept donations, I don’t really feel like the campaign is real. Real enough, for sure, since I am doing lots of little things towards getting my act together.

I think the next step is try and find some help, even if I have to pay for it. I can’t afford someone full time, but I can afford to pay someone to do some tasks. Top of that list, calling a lot of campaign people and seeing if any of them are interested in taking me on as a client. I wish I knew someone who wanted to be my campaign manager. That would be nice. I am sure JC would try, if he were mentally and physically up to the job. Sigh.

I had two very different interactions on Threads today. One person said I was spreading misinformation when I said that Newsom and Pete were both DNC party loyalists. They sure seem like they are to me. I suggested that he was MAGA and he wrote back and said that I was MAAG. Hahahaha. Probably a Russian bad actor. I blocked the account in any case.

The other interaction was with a guy who had good ideas about healthcare in this country. He pointed me at two articles that I will, one day, read. For now, just knowing that there are feasible alternatives is really good information.
