(no subject)

I had no particular plans for Thanksgiving, and was generally expecting to lounge about here. So naturally I've barely been home over the long weekend. On Thursday I spent the day in Melrose doing a quiet little familial dinner, experimented with risotto, came home quite late and crashed. Friday I had just enough time to grab a shower and pack before my impromptu trip down to CT to see my paternal clan. A day and a night there, had too much to eat, watched Fargo, stayed up late drinking Port and doing a couple of jigsaw puzzles with infrequently-seen relatives. Saturday swung back by the house for about 20 minutes to get directions and car so I could drive up to VT on my impromptu visit of more relatives. Felled lumber in the dark, tooled around the fresh snow on the ATV, realized that jeans and a leather jacket did not constitute enough clothing for these activities, ate more tasty Thanksgiving food, watched Closer, slept. Sunday I got up to watch the sunrise, and moments later got a "hi, I'm on an earlier flight, will be landing in Boston two hours early" call from tpau, so I packed up, forwent more fun with the chainsaw, and pretty much matched my speed to the route number coming down 91->89->93. Delivered her home and discovered I had exactly two hours worth of emergency errands to run before heading up to Burlington to help jducoeur and msmemory with Phase One of their move... only to find that herooftheage had gotten their a bit early and done half of it already. At any rate, I did get to see the new place, and it looks very nice.

Now, to get in as much lounging about as I can in the next few hours...
