What it's already Thanksgiving?

I keep running out of cat food. Finally signed up for auto-deliveries so I can stop getting death stares and meows when I dare to serve dry food.

The month of November flew by in a blur of installing 4 new instruments over an hour away. I thought that because so many people are now working from home, traffic would go away. Not the case. 

This project will wrap up just in time for our trip to Cancun. Moderately concerned about what I'll be able to eat, but I figure I'll either find a way to adapt, or be hungry.

We went camping for Suzy's birthday and you know what? It was fun! It helps that FG's idea of camping involves an air mattress. I think the key is also to camp when it's cool out. Hot, muggy weather while camping is miserable. I'd like to say that the cooler weather made for a bug-free experience, but apparently the bees are extra ballsy this time of year.

My stomach started to get cranky again, and as an experiment I tried putting plain almond milk in my coffee. I prefer the darkest, strongest coffee (I hate those sweet flavored creamers), but the jet fuel seems to hit my empty stomach pretty hard. After adding the almond milk, I immediately noticed a huge difference in how my stomach feels. So even though I enjoy it less, it's how I take my coffee now.

I'm really excited to start decorating for Christmas this year. Maybe because it's a "new" house? Also since I have 8 bins of decorations and I no longer live in a neighborhood known for excessive lighting, I can downsize. That's been a theme this year.

I think I'm going to soak in the hot tub before breakfast. Gobble Gobble.
