Now begins the worst day of this "holiday" - spend money you don't have on things you don't need day! I am really hoping people and stores are being smart this year. Controlling crowd size, enforcing mask rules, keeping people separated. Please for the sake of all of our lives, can we put greed and spending to the side for one lousy year? I was pleasantly surprised at two of my neighbors specifically yesterday. I expected to see cars outside their houses but thankfully no one all day. At least I know the people immediately around me aren't complete idiots. There were still too many cars driving by all day for my tastes. Where you going? You shouldn't be leaving the house dummy. No place to go. I am scared to see the new numbers starting around the 8th of December. Spikes galore in certain states. You watch.

Me, I played animal crossing for a few hours. Yes, hours. Between getting all the Turkey Day stuff for me, I also had to help B. That really was the most exciting thing I did. I did download a new game from Steam since it was 80% off. I would encourage you all to check it out. It's called God's Basement. Currently on sale for $3 and worth every penny. I won't spoil anything for you, but man I played for 3 hours yesterday and didn't even realize it. Really good little game.

Dinner was good. I made a little chicken with potatoes and peas. B had potatoes and green bean casserole. Yep. That was her whole dinner. Whatever works. We watched a little TV together. 

All in all, a boring day which is fine by me. We did learn her aunt and uncle are moving. These are the ones that lost a daughter about a year ago. They can't stay in the house anymore which is completely understandable. He is a fire chief and got a job in Tennessee outside Chattanooga. From what we know they've bought a good piece of land and will be building a house for themselves. I get it. Sometimes you have to just start fresh. I'm surprised they stayed in that house as long as they did. That's a rough one.

More gifts should be arriving today. Because I ordered online dammit. Look, I don't know if that's any better than crowding into a store. I am not going to be a massive hypocrite and say don't shop while ordering online but I also have to hope and pray that stores doing online sales are being smarter than brick and mortar. I would like to hope they have some protocols in place. Still better than 1000 people slamming into a Walmart for a $100 TV in my opinion. Let me justify things the way I need to dammit.

Nothing on the plate for today. A boring Friday ahead of me.
