Say just for example, you run your own seasonal business and for 5-6 months you work 7 days a week, 12-16 hours a day. And say at 9 a.m. today, when you have already been at work since 5 a.m. you sit down for a cup of coffee and some toast.

Happy Thanksgiving to the myriad (or two) Canadians on my flist. I have just taken the pumpkin pies out of the oven and I am now waiting for the temperature to adjust so I can bake bread. The turkeys are roasting in the other oven and back at my house all of the top of the stove things are prepared in top of the stove cooking containers and my ( Read more... ) -
