Hi Friends! Is there a British term for walk-in closet? or are those not a thing, and freestanding wardrobes are used for hanging clothes?
(please expect more of these weird questions, as I am writing something.)

I feel very lucky to live where I live.
* Walking distance from two supermarkets, a drugstore, my bank, and the salon, among other things.
* Three pizza places, Dunkin', and Thai food, also walkable.
* Walk to bus that can take me to my doctor, dentist, and train into Boston.
Very happy!

Final shopping for T-day complete!
Walked to Shaws for the bulk of the items left to purchase this morning. Later, we went to Whole Foods for the turkey, cider, and soup. Now we are home and not planning to leave until Saturday, I hope!

Alert! Snow has flurried in Southeastern Massachusetts! Snow, alternating with partially frozen rain, has been spotted!
First snow of the season! (probably won't stick, but whoohoo!)
I knew it was Cozy Sweater and Tea Season!

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

Whew. Sibling and I are packing things away for storage, re-arranging bookshelves, and trying to figure out what will go where. We are definitely getting two more bookshelves, to replace two that broke long ago.
Still need to figure out where to put Mount TBR.

Walking through South Station, I suddenly wanted to walk over to the Amtrak counter, buy a ticket to NYC, and stay a day or two in a ridiculously overpriced hotel room. See people I haven't seen in a while. Walk around. Have a low-key adventure.
Sadly, I am not that impulsive any more. :(

Saw stuff about the "Ralph Lauren Christmas Aesthetic" and it looks like Victoria Magazine Christmas issues from the beginning. Lots of greenery, tartan, and velvet. Everything old is new again, I guess.

Turkey for Thanksgiving is ordered! We will probably have the same menu as every other year, since T-day = comfort food. I will add some pre-prepared butternut squash soup though.
