It’s started….he’s on his way.

It’s that time of year again. DH has gone out with the PD to pick up the Turkey (and buy my gifts, no doubt). I’m at home, struck down by Tonsillitis, although even if I wasn’t the remaining snow/ice would keep me indoors: I’m fairly confident that SPD and crutches do not go well [...]
