It's Thanksgiving, you idiot.
A neighbor is apparently operating under the supposition that today is Independence Day. I just heard a firecracker go off. Hopefully someone will quickly clear this up for the nincompoop.
Meanwhile, my house is quiet again. We had a lovely, if somewhat non-traditional Thanksgiving. Normally we're all about the turkey, but the honey baked ham was an adequate substitute. The rest of the food was very tasty, but I need to go lie down now, because my stomach is protesting from all the food I consumed over the course of the day. See, Thanksgiving for us isn't just the big meal - it's also the constant array of various and sundry snacks: mini quiches, raw veggies & dip, morels on toast points, cheese platter. By the time dinner arrived, I'd already eaten more than I usually eat in an entire day.
So I really need to lie down & let the food settle. And since I woke up at 5:00 this morning (don't know why - I just couldn't get back to sleep so I eventually gave in & got out of bed), I'm pretty sure the lie down will be quickly followed by the 'fall fast asleep.' Even if the neighbor continues to set off noisy firecrackers.
