HAPPY FRIDAY!

I have eager players today! Of course, I did say I was going to post early for my overseas players but I should be forgiven, given that yesterday was our national day of gluttony (not unlike the rest of the year but this is government sanctioned) also known as the US Thanksgiving. This is day we pretend we were friends with the Natives that lived here before our European ancestors and give thanks for them saving us from starvation. As there is nothing I can do as a woman in the 21st century to remedy the situation, I also cook lots of food and give thanks for my many blessings (although I cook Tofurky - which is tasty, tasty, tasty. I got lots of praise for it).

Today I have brought my laptop into my bedroom to huddle under the electric blanket while I check emails and wait for the heater to warm up the house. It's actually getting cold here finally. So the closest to me is the book sitting on my night stand that I just finished last night, The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening and The Struggle. I read these in high school but wanted to again since the CW has made a new show of it. Yes, as I remember, the books are much better.

"Now you, Elena," Meredith pricked Elena's thumb efficiently, and then squeezed it to get a drop of blood.
