Got up in time to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade this morning. Mother called in the middle of it - but at least she waited until after all of the Broadway musical performances. The only good one was SIX and well Annie.
The rest, I don't remember - well outside of the fact that I kept wondering if the Moulin Rouge songstress was freezing - although I know they have heat lamps. Also, I was impressed that with few exceptions, everyone in the crowd watching the parade was wearing masks, and most of the folks in marking bands that were not blowing on an instrument, wore them too.
I made my traditional meal of rock cornish game hen (only make it once year), green beans, and instead of wild rice, which I can no longer digest, baked sweet potato. And gluten-free pumpkin pie courtesy of The Maine Pie Company for desert. I seasoned the hen with olive oil, marjoram, rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. It turned out well - but it may have been a little over-done - I waited until the temperature gauge reached 180 as directed. (Last year it had been underdone, so I was erring on the side of caution.)
Also managed to do laundry today - I picked 1pm to do it, which worked out well - since everyone was busy eating or going to someone else's house to eat. The trick to doing laundry in a 77 unit apartment complex is to pick times when no one wants to do it. Everyone wants to do it in the morning, people hate doing it in the afternoon and evening, particularly on Thanksgiving.
As promised in previous posts, I watched Peter Jackson's Beatles Documentary "Get Back" on Disney Plus while cooking my meal and eating it. It's excellent.

Outside of that - haven't done much. I need to exercise more, somehow. Maybe I'll take a lengthy walk tomorrow? Or do yoga? I'm enjoying twitter - I can be snarky on twitter - it kind of lends itself towards snark in a way other platforms don't. I piss people off on the other platforms.
Me: I've just watched a little dark brown mouse run in and out of my storage closet. It's kind of cute.
Mother: Awww. You have a pet.
Me: I really need to put out the TomCat mouse traps. But I'm procrastinating. I don't like killing things - even if they are cute little brown mice. (And yes, I know it's a mouse. I know this because I see rats at the subways and they are lighter brown, long bodies and longer tails.)
Just saw it run under my armchair now.

Anyhow, hope you had a good Thursday.
Oh things I'm grateful for:
