Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Speaking of sleep. I haven't been able to find anything to connect it to the Pacemaker, but in the last two weeks I have had three nights when I slept 9 hours straight. I haven't done that since I was a teenager. I thought I might be dying!

I wanted to give this a love reaction, but the “I thought I might be dying” part deterred me.
Sleep ... good. Dying ... not so much.

TMI maybe, but I started taking HRT a few months ago, and went from sleeping 2-3 hours at a time, to being asleep within seconds of turning off the light. Add in being back to work (and being crazy busy!), having a regular schedule, and genuine purpose everyday, and I feel like the old me.

I have to agree with your conclusions. It is very unlikely that they gave me any HRT although I have found myself watching Lifetime movies! Just kidding. The one thing I never had a problem with was falling asleep pretty much as soon as my head hit the pillow. However, waking up 5 to 6 hours I would wake and not be able to get back to sleep. That makes for a very long day, but I suspect that at my age I really shouldn't be trying to make time go faster. I thought I was dreaming the other day. I went to bed at my usual 11pm time and I woke up the clock said it was 8am. It took me awhile to convince myself that I had actually slept 9 hours.

Is anybody else thinking of cooking a turkey, just to be able to put up the Christmas Tree?

I was really proud of myself yesterday - it was the first day in a really long time that I didn't need a nap after work.

ETA: I did fall asleep at 9:00PM though

I took about a 6 hour nap after work last night....but then, I get off work at 11:00pm and then have to get home. I slept from about 12:15 to 6:45am. Then went back to sleep after the kids were off to school or I'll never make it through work tonight.

Yes, this weekend.
(The turkey, not necessarily the tree.)

Yes, but then you’ll be cleared to put up the tree, after all, “turkey before tree” :joyfull:

Will the Thanksgiving dinner this weekend be just for immediate family at home, or are other relatives joining in as well? (I know you're very busy at work, plus some people are Covid distancing for upcoming holidays. So, I wasn't sure if you had traditional plans this time.)

The Premier is begging families to restrict dinner to members of your immediate household, so it will be just the four of us.

COVID numbers have exploded here recently and significant roll backs to earlier stages kick in at midnight tonight. I’m not in any of the regions affected, but I work in Durham Region which is immediately adjacent to Toronto.

We’ve gone from 80’ish cases/day to 939 today, across the province. It is what it is. 2020 is a write off anyway, what’s one more holiday down the drain?

I purchased the same fully prepared meal that we had last year. I phoned my brother a week ago, figuring this would happen, and offered to buy him a meal too, so he can celebrate with his household. I’m headed out shortly to pick them up. Thanksgiving is less of a big deal here than it is for you guys.

I’m hoping my work doesn’t get shut down - I’ve been selling like gangbusters, but if it does, at least we know that selling virtually works too.

I’m watching the news conference right now, and it’s fairly disheartening, as we were doing so well. People got complacent ... COVID fatigue set in ... some still think it’s a hoax. Whatever the reason, COVID doesn’t care.

Sorry for the tl;dr. Yes, just the four of us.

We're not going out for Thanksgiving dinner like we have in the past. I already let my sister know (she's the only one that's not far away to begin with), that we'll celebrate Thanksgiving next year. Brothers are a far distance away and did their own Thanksgiving thing for many years. This year will be low key with hubs and me at home, and the dog will attend, of course.

If we do what we’re supposed to, hopefully next year will be better and we can bid adieu to this “new normal” carp.
