Thanking

Thursday, November 25, 2021
Thanksgiving Day

Giving thanks today for a little progress, another trip around the sun, continued health of family and friends, thinking of those we have lost.  

It was a very pleasant morning out there, mid 40s and no wind is so nice for this time of year.  Quiet, too, with almost nobody out.  It did mean that I didn't get to smell bacon frying when I went past the breakfast place downtown, but so it goes.  Peaceful.  I don't quite have the same love for the morning walk that I found all those years ago but it has become more routine and it can be enjoyable.

Lots of eating to do, lots of cooking too.  Pleased that I wasn't up after yesterday -- It didn't feel like I ate to excess, more the fact that I had a fast food burger plus dairy and ate late.  Didn't even trigger lots of snoring.

Breakfast:  Sausage strata, 1/2 grapefruit, coffee


Best one I have ever made.  SO good.  Wow.

Lunch:  Taco bowl, 12 oz All Day IPA


Oh, and I ate a caramel while making the pecan pie.  Decided not to wait until dinner since it's going to be at you know dinnertime.

Dinner:  Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas, cranberry, jello salad, rolls with butter, 24 oz All Day IPA, a glass of pinot grigio, caramel pecan pie with vanilla ice cream


All turned out fantastic.  10/10.  Stuffed.  Probably 10,000 calories, zero regrets.  And I have leftovers.

Exercise:  Walk, 1.8 miles, 40 minutes.  A hair faster but my pace is my pace.  No struggles today, just a steady march.  It does help, I think, to have a regular route and a podcast to listen to.
