So maybe I'm just going to do two every other day.

23rd Day of Thanksgiving, or T-minus 5 and counting. Yeah, I didn't get around to it yesterday.

So, yesterday I was thankful for changing seasons, and having some winter-like weather. Don't get me wrong—I've lived in the deep south all my life, and I'm very thankful for that (hey…!). But I do enjoy living in a place that gets snow a couple of times a year.

I could live without the sleet and ice storms.

Anyway, our plans have changed because of the winter storm moving in today. We had planned to leave for San Antonio tomorrow morning, but the roads are supposed to be icy most of the day tomorrow. So we'll be delaying 'til Tuesday. That was pretty good news, I guess, for the fabulous Lydia, our petsitter, and her husband Jake, who are gracious enough to move in while we're gone. (That makes all the difference in the world for us—for me—when we travel, knowing that they're here, especially since Biddy was so recently sick. And all our animals adore Lydia, so they're really happy about it, too!) On the one hand, she gets to sleep in her own bed for another night. On the other hand, she gets paid for one fewer days. Life is nothing but compromise, isn't it?

Anyway, I'm glad for some variation in weather, and the ice will clear up.

Everybody stay warm!
