So, here’s the deal. I didn’t do anything yesterday except lay about the house and watch the LOTR movies. That’s because I was alone. Tina went to be with her family this Thanksgiving. I had planned on having the traditional meal with my family down around Grantsburg. However, turns out my sister Faith is in Boseman, MT. It’s where my niece is going to college. Meanwhile, my dad is in the hospital. He’s having issues with water retention and problems with his kidneys. So he was shipped down to Abbott hospital for emergency dialysis. He’s not looking to be released anytime soon. Wendy was going to go to The Pour House in Siren Wisconsin for their Thanksgiving buffet, but it felt like too much work. It’s a long drive. It meant showering and shaving. It required getting dressed! Thus, the whole spend time with the family thing fell to the side.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed my time alone. It was fun to watch all three “Lord of The Ring” movies in a row. They are just one story. And the ending of “The Return of The King” is just that much more potent as a result of watching them one after another.

Okay, I didn’t entirely enjoy my time alone. I miss Tina. Granted, I wouldn’t have been able to pull the wing-backed chair to the middle of the living room to enjoy the glory of my HD TV. Yet it would have been nice to have watched the movies with her. Thankfully, she’ll be back on Saturday. Hopefully before dark.

And yes. I spent the whole day in my pajamas. Deal with it.
