I have been sleeping in like crazy for these past few days. I got a cold several days ago, and so I feel the extra sleep is warranted. But now I am mostly on the mend. It's Thanksgiving Monday. I'm home with TJ, we're both plugging away at school work.
There is the sound of a fire crackling, thanks to our faux fire, fuel-in-a-can device. Our laundry is still hanging in the back porch, not quite dry. I have bed-head and am wearing my favourite red jeans and a grey turtle neck. We had a lovely thanksgiving meal with Pascal and Becky last night, where we played Jenga and Mennonite madness. I had fun cooking and tidying yesterday, listening to Neil Young, Unplugged, and my favourite other song by him: "Bandit". I made cranberry sauce, which is very easy. My gramma taught me how to make it, but lo and behold, the recipe is actually on the bag of cranberries. Just mix one cup water with one cup sugar (although, I only use half a cup of sugar). Boil for five minutes, then add the cranberries and boil on low for another five to ten minutes. The cranberries will pop and crack open. My gramma told me you need to boil it for a little longer than it says, to thicken it a bit more, and then you mash the cranberries a bit at the end, and let it cool.
I hope to facetime mom and dad tonight. I hope to try out my beeswax and collage idea later.
