Lately I have been tired and hungry. I don't have any idea why, unless it is seasonal. I realize I am part Swedish, English, French, Spanish, Irish, and Scottish. I had no idea I am also part Squirrel. I seem to want to burrow in, gather food, eat, and sleep as much as possible. This goes against my normal grain, which includes serious insomnia. I think it is a November thing.
Every November I gain some weight. It doesn't help that November has at least 200 days in it. This has happened for at least 10 years. I lose it by February. I get tired, lethargic, and I whine for warmer climes. My joints ache, and nothing will do but fattening foods. I am hoping it peaks tomorrow for Thanksgiving, because I can't keep this up!
Today we had rain, snow, sleet, hail, and freezing rain. We call it a winter mix. It sucks. I didn't hit any slick pavement until I hit my own subdivision, luckily.
Good holiday wishes to all and I hope everyone has a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving. We all have something to be thankful for, even if it is just for each other. This journal community has been a wonderful thing. I have enjoyed meeting and making new friends and hearing everyone's story.
I will be with my entertaining and unpredictable extended family tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Happy Thanksgiving, Suzy. Watch out for those non-blood relatives.
Suz,
I hope today was a good day for you.
Much love,

People say that I have some squirrel in me too. It's probably because I'm always digging around looking for my nuts. Happy Thanksgiving Suzy.
"Entertaining and unpredictable"--that covers a lot of bases! Hope it was nice, love Albert
Happy Thanksgiving, Suz. It's cold and dark. Perfect weather for hybernating. If November is 200 days, how long is December?
