It’s been a few days.

Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth there, guys.

We were all set to have a Thanksgiving Day here at home with our kiddos, but unfortunately, on Wednesday night, I got sick with some sort of odd digestive bug.

So, I barely slept on Wednesday night and I felt like death warmed over on Thanksgiving Day.

Which made me pretty glad we hadn’t planned to get together with anyone on that day. This way, only our plans got messed up, and no one else’s.

I obviously was in no shape to eat anything on Thanksgiving, so Mr. FG made French toast and sausage for the healthy people.

It wasn’t the best Thanksgiving Day in the history of Thanksgivings.

Happily, on Friday I felt a lot better. So, we ate our Thanksgiving meal on Black Friday, after Joshua got home from work.

Better late than never, right?

I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’m feeling a lot more like myself.

Happily, not one other person in my family has gotten sick! Phew. I was worried maybe we were going to go down like dominoes.

______________

In other news, today is Cyber Monday.   Which to me is way more fun than Black Friday, because you can just snag deals on stuff you want and there are no lines and crowds.

I’m not a deal blogger, so I don’t have a big ol’ list of must-have items for you.   But I did want to remind you to use TopCashback or Ebates when you do your online shopping.

Might as well get a little extra money back on shopping you’re going to be doing anyway!

_____________

Oh, one other thing: when I did some videos on social media recently, I was wearing a black cowl-neck tunic, and some of you commented that you loved it.

Well, I’m happy to say that I bought it from Amazon and it is super-duper affordable.

Plus, there’s free shipping and free returns.

It’s long enough to be appropriate to wear with leggings, and it’s comfy without looking sloppy.

Clothing that feels like pajamas but looks put together is my very favorite. 😉

So, I give it a big thumbs up.

I ordered a small and a medium and the small ended up fitting the best (so I sent the medium back.) I normally wear a small in women’s clothing (vs. juniors), so I’d say this runs pretty true to size.

By the way, if you click on the customer images on the Amazon listing, you can see the shirt on a whole bunch of real-life women of varying sizes and shapes, which I find to be super helpful when I’m shopping for clothes online.

(RSS subscribers, you’ll have to click here to get the link for the tunic, as the links won’t work via RSS.)

Aaaand that’s all for today!

I’m off to dive back into homeschooling (just a few more weeks until Christmas break!).   And there’s a turkey carcass that is begging to be made into broth too.

I hope your post-holiday Monday treats you kindly, friends.

Oy...sorry to hear about you being sick...I managed to muscle through and managed Thanksgiving dinner for us and eight other peeps. On Friday though I went down HARD with a head cold and have been chugging Night and Dayquil ever since.

WOOF...

I think stress has a lot to do with when people get sick (not a crazy observation...I work as a CNA in a rehab facility/hospital...see it time and time again)

I hope you and everyone else that got (and is getting clobbered) by getting sick feels 100% soon.

Oh...and a plate full of French toast sounds like something I would be thankful for right about now :)

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm sorry you were sick. Are you still going to do your thankful list? That's one of my favorites! :)

I am sorry you were sick too! I was hoping you had just taken a break from blogging to spend the holiday with your family! I am vegetarian so French toast ( smothered in peanut butter) would make me super happy on thanksgiving!

What a bummer having a stomach bug on the biggest eating holiday of the year. Although French toast actually sounds much more appealing than turkey. Maybe it should be a new tradition. :-)

I also missed your annual thankful list! I look forward to it each year. I appreciate it so much because the things you are grateful for help me to see how thankful we all should be for things we could so easily take for granted.

But I'm so sorry you were sick! I'm glad you're on the mend now. :)

I had good intentions of typing it up...but I ended up lying on the couch all day instead! Maybe I'll just write one this week instead. It's not like we can only be thankful on one day. ;)
