Holiday Prep

Today was a day of preparation for our journey south for a Vincennes Thanksgiving. Daddy loaded the two of you in our chariot and away we went for some final acquisitions: we made a run to Lowe’s to get Mommy some paint and paint-brush rollers so she can finalize her decorative redoux of our library (in turquoise and red wood combinations—quite orientalJ), and then off to Best Buy to help Daddy spy on any potential good deals on a small flat-screen tv to complement our library remodel-project, then we made a quick pit stop to get you a cheese-dog, Ms. Bodhi, and you a plain hot dog, Mister Buddha (oh, yeah, after we made a drive-through run of Subway for a sale sandwich for Mommy and DaddyJ).

After arriving back home, we enjoyed our lunch and made our way down for an afternoon nap. By late afternoon, we were gearing up our preparation for our early morning departure, as well as settling in for a quiet evening of watching a cartoon show together.

All of us were quite obviously tired, as evening disappeared and we prepared the two of you for “night, night” which surprisingly proved uneventful. Mommy and Daddy attempted to watch tv together, after we both agreed to call a peace-treaty on the library project and rest up for our road-trip tomorrow. Mommy (and Daddy) have fallen behind of keeping up with our journaling of your travels along the mellow brick road, but even our desire to not fall further behind proved insufficient to keep us going—Mommy was beginning to not feel well and Daddy somehow has suffered a mystery injury to his right foot (which feels brokenL) and can hardly stand to bear weight on it to walk!

All-in-all, this day started fast and furious, and faded quickly to exhaustion, and the only real level of energy was that of expectation of a big day tomorrow! “Night, night” family and friends---please send along with your holiday good will some energy barsJ!!!
