Michelle, why not ask them to let you do what they had you doing on the first day? You don't have anything more to lose than if you simply walked, seems to me. And I agree with Martha also on that office stuff organization--I moved the secretary into the front to look at it, but it doesn't work, so I'm going to put it back in a corner of the big room where I had it before. I think that will be best. I have the file cabinet in the kitchen corner mostly out of sight behind a bigger piece of furniture, but I may relocate that as well. Nearer the secretary.

Turkey is in the fridge, beginning to thaw. I'll probably put it in the sink in water to thaw the rest of the way on Tuesday, and brine it sometime late on Wednesday. I'd better check out the recipe.

I have a box packed and ready to go to a friend in NYC. I found a beautiful basket of big pine cones, and he just loves big pine cones. I picked up some on the road for him on one cross country trip and he still talks about them. He never seems to go to craft stores to buy his own, so I'm sending a nice wicker and grapevine basket plus a whole big bundle of cones that I picked up for $1 at a garage sale.
