I'm starting to long for some stretches of time unbroken by emergencies and sudden changes of plans. Between work and family, it feels like everything's been tilted off balance since ... hmm ... (checks old postings) mid-July when the big headless chicken dance started at work. December ... well, in December I will either have or be a houseguest for 20 out of 31 days. I'm sort of torn between figuring that being heavily scheduled will keep me moving through the tough parts and thinking that eventually I need some space to get my balance back. When I'm going to manage the xmas shopping escapes me entirely.

Tomorrow's tasks involve dealing with the leftover prescription medicines and contacting the local homeless shelter about whether they can use mom's clothes. Other than that, there's not much to do at the moment. In retrospect, changing my return flight from Monday to Tuesday was unnecessary, but who knew?

The Thanksgiving dinner leftovers have been whittled down to a few slices of turkey, a cup or two of mashed potatoes, half a pumpkin pie, and a stockpot simmering away at the turkey carcass. We haven't really cooked anything since then.
