Fri 29 Nov

Got up at 6:30 with the expectation that we would go out casually shopping by 8:00 but it's 8:45 and we're not out the door yet. Still need to change laundry loads, but we may get out by 9:00. No real push as I don't have a list, but we usually find some good bargains. BTW, what do you want this year? Bro had a hard day today. Had a meltdown at work at Frank's; couldn't deal with the aggressive jerks out on Black Friday. He had a talk with his employer and left, then called us. We talked a long time, but I don't think he's going to go back. He says he hates retail and may try to get a job in food service. Can't say I think it will be that much better, but he has to do what he has to do. Dad and I ordered fleece-lined snow pants online today for our winter evening walks. We plan to try to get out walking in the evenings most nights unless there is active nasty weather.
