have installed self as Bridget Jones approx.

Got home 11ish.  Hung out with fam for a bit.  Back in childhood room, where dresser promptly tried to collapse on me when one caster fell out of front leg (of dresser) and couldn't be re-placed.  Propped up with ream of printer paper.  Learned that foaming face cloths labeled "deep moisture" really do leave your skin feeling less tight and dry than other types, even when water is -- at is is here -- hard as nails.

Apparently segments of Who fandom are being particularly jackassy.  Not that any of them are likely to be reading this, but if they are:  knock it off, y'all.  You're spoiling all kinds of things for the rest of us.

Sleeep.

checking in

Turkey etc. consumed.  Nap taken.  Mom taught to knit.  (Casting on and knit stitch.  She has so far done six rows, of which only one was completed without acquiring another stitch somewhere.  It's so cute.)  Appointment made at Mac store for tomorrow, because computer freakouts coming across the plate pretty quickly now -- if I turn off the wireless device, no worries, but when I turn it on, which I need to do here, it periodically (sometimes with periods as short as 45 seconds) gives me BSOD and says "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", the only remedy for which I have ever discovered has been ... to turn off the wireless device.  I'm not fussed.  It's getting on for five years old, and I'd been thinking of replacing it anyway, so I may do so as soon as tomorrow lunchtime.  Mac owners may commence preparation for killing the fatted calf.

Posting quickly before I get booted.  Hope everyone's Thanksgiving/Thursday/Friday (if you're in Australia) was happy.  Shopping and movies tomorrow, probably.  Whee!

Also, I put gas in the car yesterday at Frederick, and then drove the rest of the way here -- a little over 300 miles -- on less than half a tank.  The second half will go quicker than the first, so I won't get 600 miles on this tank, but still, DUDES.  How awesome is that?  My cruise control loves me, this I know, because the half-dozen other drivers getting pulled over by the PA and OH state troopers tell me so.
