I agree with the cats, you made a wise decision about not making that drive. And the blood pressure equipment is a an affordable piece of equipment (I added one to my small collection, including a digital thermometer and pulse oximeter.) Mine is in the suite of products connected to my fitness tracker and my bathroom scale, so it keeps all of the records in an app on my phone.

This morning's workout was the shortest of the week but left my legs feeling quite achey. Add to that all of the back and forth in the kitchen preparing for the meal this afternoon (Thanksgiving postponed). I'll sleep tonight. Two more days of cat sitting.

The house is in limbo this evening. One load of dishes washed but I'm not going to unload the dishwasher to reload it with the rest. In the morning is soon enough. The dining table is set up with the lace tablecloth still on; that can also wait till morning, as can hand-washing the wine glasses we used for our sparkling cider. Considering it was Thanksgiving I did pretty well. Along with two types of meat I had a serving of mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, and I ate the filling but not the crust of a piece of pumpkin pie. I kept the wheat out but did get some sugar and big carbs. A bowl of roasted vegetables - Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red potatoes - got a lot of attention. It seems not everyone likes the sprouts. As the bowl was passed around some pointedly picked out just carrots and potatoes, others selected lots of sprouts. In the end, when people went home with leftovers, I ended up with a bowl with nothing left but sprouts (enough for one portion in a meal of leftovers.) There is some entertainment value with a dish like that.
