Dupont:

Arrived back last Tues. Trip to chiro on that Monday, did a miracle of less pain and more energy. Instead of 3 days of rest, I was able to do stuff and feel good doing it. Cleaning up from R's time alone for starters. Tripped around south, visiting Geri and Rita, picking up turkey, and going to bakery -Nice apple crisp for thanksgiving BUT guests brought a crappy cake, too sweet for me to eat. Still have crisp which will get eaten by R and me! I managed a nice Thanksgiving dinner with everything properly cooked and we used the DR table for the first time! (3 years!) Been so long I forgot cranberry sauce and managed to find cranberries in freezer at 11th hour and nuke them into sauce! Guests a bore; I wondered if there was something wrong with me - what would be interesting?

On Monday, we went to a terrific end of season celebration at Le Jardin de la Resistance. Terrific conversation with our friends there - AH! THAT is interesting to me!

Covered remaining garden veggies with plastic in hopes of prolonging the season another week. Mostly done! House plants in. Boats starting to de-clutter the river, which is beautiful after the fall rains! Fire in wood stove is adequately heating house - for now. Another week of not too bitter weather ahead. 22C for tomorrow!

No pots made yet - maybe tomorrow. De-cluttering cobwebs is a chronic situation! I think I've "got 'em" then the light or sun hits yet another spot! But the house is clean enough!

Order of supplements; had to struggle to obtain 10% Thanksgiving discount - phone calls never answered and three emails ... And the phone waiting noise gave me a headache - I suppose some think of it as "music"!

Waiting for an online order of underwear after R informed his were falling off - from worn out elastic. Hope it is suitable - Jockey cannot go wrong???? Not cheap. That plus supplements - a large de-clutter of wallet! Gee, so dust and money is about all I have managed! And the aching back!!!
