amethyst73Good thing: It's the Thanksgiving holiday!
Bad thing: The huz caught his almost-required vacation-time cold yesterday, and stayed home rather than going and spending much of the day with parents and family.
Good thing: Lots of tasty food yesterday: decent turkey, good stuffing, good gravy, excellent sweet potatoes and rolls, and 3 different desserts, all really yummy. (Delicate apple pie with thin apple slices that still had a lot of texture to them; a pecan pie recipe out of 'The Best of America's Test Kitchen' that didn't use huge amounts of sweetening; and my Meyer Lemon bars, this time with extra zest!)
Better thing: There were plenty of leftovers, so I was able to take back good-sized samples of everything back to the huz. He had traditional Thanksgiving food for dinner. I had leftover pasta, which was just fine!
Bad (but unrelated) thing: Some oxalis is successfully growing through the weed-block stuff we put down a month or so ago. Much sadness.
Good thing: Good singing practice today! (Especially since didn't get to practice either of the last two days.)
Zelda things: Yes, the pretty glowing crystal ball stayed outside! Got the other one (with much hand-slapping, as it were), and made good progress through the central part of the dungeon (got to boss key, and got the small key past that in the room with many floating platforms). Pretty glowing sword now. But no Ooccoo - I guess Ooccoos don't live in the Twilight Realm. Happily, all the arms of the dungeon seem pretty physically short. Hope that the Zant heads stay dead - they seem to. Had a nice hour playing today!
