WEDNESDAY

Yet another biz, biz, bizzy day. Mike came over about 9:30 and immediately sat down to address the new laptop questions I had written down. It took quite a while, but he got most of them resolved. We then went over to YouBreakIFix, which conveniently, is right across the street in the Von's shopping center. Of course, I walk over there frequently, but the spoiled kid had to drive. (Considering he bikes miles and miles--twenty some at a clip--daily, it's a little odd, but oh, well.)

At the computer store, we talked to programmer Val and he recommended that I take both laptops over to have the local(?) data transferred. Mike wants Ellen to go with me, as he doesn't think I have a brain in my head when it comes to how the Internet works (a valid assumption, I'm afraid). 

We then went to CVS and Von's, where I bought all the ingredients needed for my contribution to turkey day, pumpkin pie. I had thought of making apple, too, but just didn't think I had time.   

We then went to The Little Lion for lunch. I had a "pumpkin butter grilled cheese" and an IPA  and Mike eggs Benedict. It's a pricey place, but both were good and Mike treated, so hey, what's not to like?

Back to my place, then Mike left. He'll go to bed early, as he's picking up--or picked up-- Vivian at LAX at 5:00. They should be driving here now to get me and we three will stay over at Ellen's.

I tackled the pumpkin pie. I rolled out the crust and it fit the pie pan well. I'm afraid the rim isn't up to my standards, but it's okay. Popped it in the oven and it came out pretty good. How we'll safely get it to El's is a question, but I'll figure something out.  

I put in a wash, then partially packed, called BMO, with which I'm having a feud, but it's being addressed and to my advantage, I believe.

I set the alarm for 5:00, just got up, and now it's Thanksgiving Day. I have plenty for which to be thankful and every once in a while, I realize that. 🦃

Note: I'm not taking my laptop to El's, so next entry will be on Friday--I think...
