Evie Day 627
Good morning, and a very happy Monday to you all. Today is 2 December 2024.
We are in the last month of the year. 2024 has gone pretty quickly.
I shared with you that I wasn’t planning on writing my blog over the Thanksgiving holiday, so this is my first post since last Wednesday. We had a pretty good break. We went to see family on Thanksgiving, did a little Black Friday shopping, and watched some sports.
The visit to Clay Center to see my family there was very pleasant. My brother-in-law surprised us all. As we arrived in Clay Center, there was a pink car about 100 yards ahead of us. I thought, “Is that the Pink Panther?”, but I couldn’t believe it, but I should’ve. My dad was really into hot rods. All of us kids had some pretty hot wheels at some point – I had a ’55 Ford Pickup, Tom had an AMC Javelin, and Dan had a ’65 Ford Galaxy 500. But Traci had the best of ’em all – a 1950 Dodge Wayfarer, pink, with a custom Pink Panther image on the trunk lid. It’s a beautiful car, and I am so happy my brother-in-law took measures to get it running again.
We had a good visit with family over the holiday, and with my kids, I didn’t have to worry about doing any driving.
Dane and I went into Microcenter on Friday for Black Friday sales. He’s refreshing some of the components on his desktop computer.
The Chiefs won Friday over the Raiders, and Saturday was a mixed bag for my Jayhawks. The football team came up short in their quest to become bowl-eligible. The KU women’s basketball team won their holiday tournament by beating Auburn. The KU men won Saturday late afternoon over Furman.
Sunday was the last day of my vacation, and I spent a portion of it with the guys tackling a scenario involving two big bads. We came out victorious – my role was to basically apply healing spells to keep the more effective warriors in the fight, and I was able to get a couple of licks in. I think I leveled up… and that’s always a good thing.
In a couple of hours, I will be in my virtual classroom once again for a one-day session. Tuesday through Thursday I will be sitting in a class, and Friday will be a busy day with an exam and a presentation.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
