I've been to the holiday light show at night at ABG and it's beautiful. This was my first day visit and it was underwhelming. Nice to walk around and see some fantastical displays, but not worth the drive. We wore masks as did everyone else (thanks, Mayor Bottoms and ATL mandate for making it safe). It wasn't crowded at all and that was nice -- it gets packed for the holiday nights. My aunt had a hard time walking, talking and wearing a mask. She got very winded so it wasn't as animated as usual. Overall, I'd give the experience a C-. Not worth going back anytime soon. Some of my review was because I wasn't feeling well with hormone stuff -- headache, stomach issues, energy, etc., but my aunt felt similarly.
The storm is here as expected. Heavy rains for the next couple of days. Grocery shopping is up-in-the-air. No outside walks either. Hunkering down, making lentil soup, riding the Peloton and reading. Of course, there are the picture bins, but I feel a procrastination coming again. Maybe this is a project for January?? At least I need to find the framing stuff for my bedroom wall. That feels more urgent.
My sister sent me the nicest surprise package in the mail. "Famous" chocolates from PGH, dog decor mask, dog treats, stickers and something special to clean my toilets lol.
Still no bookclub book in the mail, so I started a fiction read. I wasn't in the mood for the nonfiction I have on my shelf because I need fantasy right now. I bought this book for my hubby -- I LOVE Ken Follett. Hornet Flight. I don't THINK I've read it before, but if I did it was so long ago. Feels good to read a WWII book right now. Liberty and justice CAN prevail. I saw this quote about fiction and it wasn't sourced, but here it is: "Fiction is truth, even though it's not fact."
I also started rewatching the last season of Schitt's Creek. Things are heavy right now and I need to find a little light balance. This is my 3rd time and it doesn't get old.
Hey, did you hear the news? Dexter is coming back. The original creator felt the way it ended didn't do it justice (he left after season 4) so he's bringing the series back "10 years later." This is something to look forward to in 2022.
We are tabling horseback riding for our anniversary. The act of getting on and off the horse is the type of movement that throws out my back. We'll give it more time to stabilize and try again when I'm ready. That's disappointing. Plan B is a hike, weather permitting. Plan C is going to the kids for supper if the weather is bad. Plan D is nothing LOL.
Wishing us happy and good today. Stay well. Stay safe. Later gators.
