I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm glad Tim got seen, because it's a long time until Monday.

I thrifted at the Good Will near my Mom's which is a veritable cornucopia of great stuff. My Black Friday haul was three pairs of work-appropriate pants, one beaded red cotton cardigan, one long-sleeved t-shirt and three music CDs for a grand total of $30.57

There were a couple things that would have been great had they only fit, like the pair of washable suede jeans, or the Victorianesque black velvet blazer. But it's my firm rule that if it doesn't fit, it doesn't get bought, no matter if I could lose 20 pounds or whatever or make it fit. That way lies madness and frustration, not to mention a starring role on a future episode of Hoarders.

Steph, has Tim tried gargling with warm salt water? It's pretty disgusting, but it really does seem to help the ick go away. Just keep a cup of cold regular water nearby so you can then swish out your mouth of the saltiness.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, has Tim tried gargling with warm salt water?

Yeah, and I think it helps a little bit (he said drinking coffee does, too; I think the warm liquid is soothing), but the effect doesn't last long. This is just a pretty nasty infection. All he wants to eat is warm mooshy food. Fortunately, Thanksgiving is all about the mooshy food: mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, stuffing (when properly doused with gravy), cranberry from the can, etc. Breakfast was oatmeal. My poor honey.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My husband made me go shopping. It was terrible.

But we hunted and gathered some towels for me, pillowcases, and a new mattress (on clearance, so we saved 25%, on a brand that usually never goes on sale).

In very first world problems, I bought a used computer game off eBay. Experienced gamers will undoubtedly see where this is going. When I tried to install it, it said the key code was in use. Grrrr. And, of course, I'd already left good feedback so I wouldn't forget about it. A stern email has been sent to the seller for some way to resolve this.
