I notice that one channel in the SUV Sirius lineup changes periodically, and it says "Holiday Favorites" now. I won't be touching that one (I can program these, and part of the year it plays things I like).

This morning I went in for my annual mammogram (the appointment at 10:40 but they kept sending reminders that I should be there at 10:20—if the appointment is actually at 10:20 then say so. I split the difference and arrived at 10:30.) From there I did some running and finally got to my favorite Halal market and bought a new supply of olive oil then picked up three pumpkins at a friend's house. We had a good visit; I haven't picked up a baby in ages but after taking off my dangly earrings I got to pick up a little 10-month-old guy named Bennett (her grandson) and was good until the bottle arrived and that person was suddenly who he wanted to be with. Excellent visit and now I'm back home. Olive oil and pumpkins for my ex and daughter are in the SUV until tomorrow when they get dropped off.

The heat still isn't turned on in the house but the bathroom was chilly enough this morning that I did turn on the overhead coil heater fan contraption. (Old fashioned and it strikes me as a fire hazard, but it seems to work ok; after I moved in I rewired it so the switch is a timer so it isn't accidentally left on.) Wearing a sweater around the house most days.

So much to do in preparation for the holidays. Clearing up stuff around the house. eBay seems to be at a standstill at the moment (nothing selling - there are just watchers right now.)
