Turkey Roll

Turkey Roll?

Turkey roll sounds like a kind of submarine sandwich. And in fact, many folks are eating turkey today. That’s quite the usual for Thanksgiving.

My turkey roll was a ride! I didn’t put in any more miles than usual for a weekday; and that sure makes me feel lazy. But I didn’t take ride food along; and I didn’t want to have to reapply sunblock.

I also knew that rain is possible today; and of course I didn’t want to get caught in it. As it turned out, I was home way ahead of any rain. I stowed the road bike and rode the hybrid to the ATM; and I stopped at the drug store to buy a soda.

Then it was home to fix my ‘Thanksgiving dinner”. Last Saturday I found a box of macaroni and cheese at the salvage store. I fixed the macaroni per the instructions on the box; and tossed it with tuna fish and some peas. Along with a variety of olives and some cranberry sauce, it made a nice meal.

The forecast for tomorrow and Saturday is a  rainy one; and I hope it isn’t pouring tomorrow morning. I need to get to the supermarket. As usual, I need bananas; but I figured any grocery store would probably be packed today. People will be trying to get last-minute things for Thanksgiving dinner.

Tomorrow is Black Friday; but I think I’ll steer clear of the bargain-hunting mobs. In my family we don’t go for extravagant gifts; and if it’s going to rain tomorrow, I’d have to worry about getting my merchandise home without having it get soaked. 

This is the annoying kind of day when it’s a little too cool indoor for comfort; but not cool enough for the heater to stay on.  It looks like it will stay that way for a few more days. Soon enough, though, I’ll be complaining about how cold it is!
