A few calls.

.

.

In and out.  My mother didn't answer.  I just left a message.  My brother called back.  All good.  He was finishing their pumpkin pie.  Handmade crust included.  All good.  Deep frying the turkey this year, for his first time.  I wished him luck, and all a Happy Thanksgiving.  Including in the message to my mother.

I never know what day Thanksgiving is.  I... just don't.  Or, any holiday, actually.  And, yes, I mean any.  It's just not something that is in memory.  Strange, but... even as a child, I just wasn't... excited.  Play the part, get jacked on candy, but... I... wasn't interested.  Or disinterested?  I wasn't against, I just wasn't excited about events.  Still, I... try.

I'll heat burger and have a taco salad.  No worries, that is quite fine for me.  I may add beans with the beef, it's a holiday, you know.

A few texts, about odds and ends.  All good.  I am supposed to count the bulbs.  Something about wattage, I would guess.  Not... today.  Maybe when I wake, or during the night after, or morning?  I'll... get it.  Nothing to be done immediately.  Someone doesn't think it would draw enough.  And, I might agree.  Save that the house is old, and wiring is old, fuse box... even if beyond fuses... is not the best.

Though, perhaps, it is just the timer.  When it arrives from China, or anywhere there days, it has a fifty fifty chance of being safe and functional, even if "inspected" by US .gov bureaucracies.  Easy to buy off or push around by the Chinese these days.  And done so with the full might and power from the rest of the bureaucracies in the government.  The FIB probably is just as likely to shut down an honest inspector, or the IRS.  Even wrongfully, if China says jump and swat that fly, they will.

Anyway... that is that.  I will get a bulb count, before long.  Suggested we go to leds or other such low voltage light sources.  He's not so interested.  At this point, incandescents are a bit pricey, on the electric end.  Worth a little extra up front for the long haul, especially with our government cutting electrical production on purpose.  As well, the others are a smidgen safer.  They just are.  Even if it is the timer box, I'd like to go low wattage.

Yes, a taco salad.  Maybe check the kefir.  I swapped two of the three, didn't have room.  Had to drink some.  There should be... oh... I did get the other jar filtered and reset, almost forgot.  Ugh...  Pushing, for days, to stay up.  And, succeeding.  But so tired from it.  It's only 14:42.  Gotta try to make, say, 18:00~20:00?  Bleh.  Best go a bit light on food.  Or even skip supper, it might put me down like a clown.  Food, when this tired, is a siren's call to sleep.  Later.
