The Day After

This is it; the really big shopping day and I suppose that there are more people awake at this hour than at any other time during the year. All across the country, shoppers are sipping coffee and checking their lists. Hmm? I suppose they are already shopping in some time zones, as the stores open here in just 30 minutes. I can’t imagine it. It’s beyond understanding. The thought of stores, crowded with hordes of shoppers, fills me with a sense of dread.

Thanksgiving was delightful…family and food. Not all of the family was present, but we knew where they all were and that was good.

The cat has rejoined me this morning and she is purring heavily as she sleeps in her bed next to me. She was under heavy social pressure yesterday as the twins roamed the house and she quickly found safety by hiding in our shower for most of the day, only coming out of her hiding place just in time to scare Laurae…who hadn’t expected to see a cat in the shower.

With Thanksgiving behind us, it’s only a month now till Christmas, followed by the New Year and time for more celebration. Whew! This is a tough time of year for the introverts among us.
