  & cleanup

A rather unusual Thanksgiving -- we were home, the YD wasn't, I did all the cooking (and am very thankful to Colleen's nose for detecting that the stuffing was burning on the stove before I completely ruined it), and I didn't overeat.

I also rejiggered my backup script to run daily as a cron job, which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. Possibly as long as a year -- I don't remember.

I did not go out for a walk -- I haven't taken a long walk in weeks. *grumps at self*

The YD was getting around pretty well despite her sprained ankle, and flew South to LosCon on schedule. She'll be back on Sunday.

Dinner was roasted turkey; stuffing with gluten-free bread, cranberries, mushrooms, and chestnuts; roasted potatoes and yams; gibblet gravy; and cranberry sauce. I should probably have made a salad and a green vegetable, but there were leftovers so I assume nobody went to bed hungry.

I see only one link up there, on Chrome OS. Slow day.
