Went through a notebook and typed up six poems that I'd written longhand. A couple of them took a little massaging to get them finished, but hey, six new poems to send out!

I have successfully gotten in and out of the grocery store with minimal pain to pick up the one thing I needed for our mostly non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Because it's not a holiday without pink stuff.
