Happy thanksgiving day ..unless you're a turkey. It was supposed to snow a little last night and today, but that never eventuated - at least not so far. The weather (wind) let up enough for the Macy's big balloon parade to go ahead in Manhattan this morning, so that's all good.

I think we're supposed to go out with IceQueen's parents for dinner, although that may or may not still be happening - IceQueen cut her thumb quite badly late last night while slicing some bread - it was bleeding a fair bit and the cut looked to be pretty deep, although not too big lengthwise, fortunately. I bandaged her up and stopped the bleeding, but we may go into the local hospital emergency rooms today anyway in case it requires a stitch or two. I'm already planning what to take, as on a normal day you can spend 6 hours or more in their waiting rooms, so gawd only knows what it will be like on a public holiday when most private practitioners are closed.

Anyway, thanks to Thanksgiving, I have today and Friday off, so it'll be nice to take a breather ..although I have a couple of exams next week and some big projects to do, so I'll be studying most of the long weekend regardless. Hope you have a good day!
