We bought the fixens for Thanksgiving Friday. We teamed up. Dianne drove me to the market and I in my power wheelchair zoomed round the market throwing items into my basket. Dianne stays in the van keeping it warm and making ready for a fast get away if we need it. I have worked out a pretty good system. I get a lap basket and a regular shopping cart and then move the cart to the end of each row I am shopping—or I will leave the cart by the check out area with firm orders that no one is to take the cart regardless of how deserted the cart may have appeared. Then I scurry up and down the aisle dumping my basket into to shopping cart when ever my basket gets full.
We’re doing a very scaled down version of Thanksgiving this year. Diane and are sick and all the extended families seem to be having their own dinners else where. A 12 pound bird, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, bake and serve roles and at least one pumpkin pie maybe two.` Sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce. About $40.00 all told. Not bad. We have enough if someone should stop over needing a meal and if no one stops by we will have a great feed of our own with lots of leftovers. We stopped at the liquor store—which is one of my favorite places during the holidays. I believe the holiday spirits lingers best and longest at the State liquor store. I really didn’t need any lavations but I wanted to shop and I came way with a bottle of blush, amoretto and some Irish cream for my coffee.
Tomorrow begins a short week at work and the Boss is gone for the week and the new guy is in charge. I hope to be in and out of the office on different projects during the week and stay out of the new guys way. I hope to get the motors on my chair looked at and hopefully replaced. There should just be four of us in the office this week: Frank, Chapman, Red and me. Should be easy duty. I just need to stay out of folks way.
