Volume 16 - Day 331/35, 2024 - Tuesday

Step One: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place turkey in shallow pan. Bake for one hour. I am pretty sure I learned my lesson four years ago, and I won't be baking anything (period) in the foreseeable future. I have used the oven at the Curious House two or three times. Just not something that is important to me. I am pretty sure that everything I need to eat comes ready-made or served at a Restaurant. Today, Carrie brought me some pre-packaged stuff for Thanksgiving. Apple Tarts, Chicken (they didn't have turkey), dressing, mashed potatoes, and potato chips (my request) from Trader Joe's. I am all set and ready to do nothing. Since I am not going in to the office tomorrow, this is the eve of a five-day weekend. I am ready. It was a quiet day in the office today, and it should be quiet for the rest of this month. Incredible to think that next week will be December, and the year is almost over. It has been a good year, so I am ready to start a new one. I plan to get financial stuff ready for my 2024 income tax over the long weekend, that always gives me a sense of accomplishment. It is cold in the house right now...okay, chilly. We did not get out of the 60s today, going to be 80 tomorrow, and then another cold front or two. I wish the weather would make up its' mind.
