"These days"

melliciousI signed up early for Holidailies because I happened to think of it, and then I almost forgot - well, actually, I did forget, since it's already after midnight - that December 1st is when I'm supposed to actually post something! Not that it's the end of the world to wait until 1am on the 2nd to post, but I'm just so flaky that I get aggravated with myself.
I started to say that I'm flaky "these days" but actually I've always been flaky - in particular, I don't have much of a sense of time, so unless I'm going to start setting alarms for myself constantly like one of my co-workers does, the flakiness is just going to happen. Plus well, y'know, we're all getting older, aren't we? All of us people who have been on the internet more or less since it existed, in particular. I am in denial about it, but I'm about to start looking at Medicare options - I turn 65 in the spring so I can sign up in a month or two, I think. Ugh. (Although I've also been griping about what I'm paying for my numerous prescriptions lately, so hopefully Medicare will be a bit cheaper in the end, assuming Trump doesn't go and cancel it.) (But I'm trying not to talk too much about the Orange One, it just raises my blood pressure. Speaking of medicine.)
We went to Moody Gardens in Galveston for Thanksgiving - they had a lovely buffet. It was expensive but I enjoyed it. I would never have thought of doing that, it was my brother-in-law's idea. Since we work in Galveston it seemed sort of silly to drive back down there on a day we're not working, but they picked us up and so it wasn't like it was actually any trouble.
I said I was trying not to shop this weekend and I did stay out of the mall (and Target, etc.) but I still ended up buying assorted stuff on the internet, of course. That's really my weakness, these days. I guess just the fact that I didn't go completely hog-wild makes it a win, though!
Oh, I am a Texas Ex so I feel like I'm contractually obligated (or something) to talk about the A&M game. Hey, Hook 'em Horns, and all that. I saw some Aggies say that we only won because all of the calls went our way, and that's actually true, but I don't think they unfairly went our way, just because both of our touchdowns weren't called that way in the first place. Now we have to play Georgia next week, that's our reward, and that didn't go so well the first time this year. We'll see.
