We had a good weekend despite my cold. The coughing was the tough thing that kept me up each night, but it’s much better today. I’m thankful and tired. The amazing thing is that Beau says the coughing didn’t bother him at all. Weird.

We had planned a trip to H’burg for church yesterday, but decided against it because of my cold. So we met up with Dad at the early service at our church (Mom was up north babysitting CootieGirl and CootieBoy while their parents were exploring and closing on their new land in South Carolina). After church, Dad came over to our house for a lunch of leftovers from the turkey dinner on Saturday night, which was fabulous.

After Dad left, we cleaned up and I started a pot of turkey stock with the carcass and leftover veggies (onions, carrots, celery) that I had roasted in the pan with the bird. From the stock, I made a pot of turkey soup and then split the rest of the stock into three quart-sized ziplock bags for freezing.

While the stock was simmering we watched the last disc of the Firefly DVDs. I am officially a Whedonerd. I ended up watching Serenity later, too. It was as much fun as when we saw it in the theater, but I caught more of the insider things this time from having watched the Firefly DVDs.

So now it’s another work week. Joy.
