Wednesday morning I worked early so I could be done in time to watch the funeral for Mark’s cousin. We were so sad to hear of his tragic passing last weekend. The funeral was nice-we enjoyed hearing about all the incredible things he did in his 13 years.
COVID cases are so terrible right now that we felt we should stay home and have our own Thanksgiving. It was kind of nice to have a relaxing holiday. We did a Zoom call with my family in the morning and each shared an object we were grateful for. Mark and I watched the National dog show. I love the dog show so much but we usually miss it for thanksgiving dinner. After the show we drove to my parents’ to swap a few side dishes (and they shared their Turkey with us). We stayed outside and had our masks on while we made the quick switch. Then we came home and ate. In the evening we were able to have a Zoom call with Mark’s family. It was fun to see everyone, especially those who live far away. We ended the night with pie!
I didn’t have to work (other than vipkid) on Friday and that was so nice! Mark worked a half day and then we put up Christmas decorations!
Saturday Mark spent five hours working on a group assignment. This has proven really hard and they’re hoping the professor can help next week. We ended the evening setting up a bed beneath the Christmas tree. We watched Christmas movies, read Christmas books, and chatted while eating muddy buddies. It was so fun! Although I think I’m getting too old to sleep on foam pads!!
