NoJoMo Day 21

Had another decent night, but not as good as the night before.  I went to bed at midnight, but didn’t fall asleep until after 2 a.m.  But I still got up at 9:15 a.m….thanks to my sister calling me, damnit! LOL!  Actually it was good that she called because I needed to get up and get ready for my hair appointment.  I hadn’t had a hair cut since the beginning of August, and several gray hairs were starting to stick out and wave at me.  Nuh uh…not happening!  I’m too young (at heart, at least) to have gray hair!  But anyway, my hair looks fabulous now 🙂

After the hair appointment I ran to the bank, then to the post office, then came home.  Hubby got home not long after I did and took a little nap while I watched Dr. Phil.  Then I ran to Walgreens to pick up a couple of prescriptions and grabbed hamburgers for dinner. 

Hubby called me today while I was out and about and told me that a guy he works with got a call this morning informing him that his wife and two kids had been in a car accident earlier this morning, that his two kids had been air-lifted to U of M Trauma Center, and his wife died on impact.  My heart hurts so much for him, for the whole family.  It looks like his kids are going to be okay eventually….one had a ruptured spleen, the other had a shattered pelvis, and both had other assorted cuts and bruises…..but they should recover.  But their mommy is gone and the poor man’s wife is gone.  Losing someone on any day of the year is tragic, but happening on or right before a holiday seems to make it worse, because now every Thanksgiving this family will remember what they lost.

Okay, enough sadness.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I have soooooo much to be thankful for!  I’m looking forward to some good food and a nice, quiet day with the husband….just me and him.  I’m contemplating heading out tomorrow night to do some Black Friday shopping….it all depends on whether or not I’ve come out of my turkey coma in time. 

I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving!!!  I am most definitely thankful for my friends here at OD….just wanted you all to know.  Much love!!!  xoxo
