I am doing the same, except I'm hanging out with my husband!

No shopping, no going out (the refrigerator is FULL) and like that.

I worked eleven hours today, have tomorrow off, will work 10-11 hours Friday, 10 hours on Sunday. The truth is, all I really want to do tomorrow is sleep; sweet, sweet sleep. Sigh.

There's an insane anger agressive shoppers get. Like primative hunter gatherers. The road rage, the bad manners. Sucks the joy out of the holidays.

in the 1980's. Was I living under a rock?

In any case, I've learned that I need to stay home entirely the day after Thanksgiving, simply because the traffic is nuts. I can't even go to the grocery store to buy something I need. Sigh.

I'll be reading and watching a Netflix video or two.
