thanksgiving

"I owe my soul to each fork in the road,
each misleading sign." - Poi Dog Pondering "Thanksgiving"

The virus in my throat makes proper enjoyment of food impossible. I swallow the first bite with a wince. The later bites only become tolerable as my threshold of pain increases to the point where I can't feel anything. The food tastes good, but my usual sprint for seconds is replaced by a suspicious glare at the food.

Mind you this is nothing really to complain about. I don't have a fever. I'm sleeping well. And other than taking sustenance and trying to talk above a low conversational tone my throat is trouble free. Even the throat thing has been worse...

This afternoon I'm drinking lots of tea and formatting some more books for the ebook. Later I might have some eggnog with rum. :)

Amazon has raised their prices for the holiday season. Considerably.

I tend to monitor items and watch for the price to drop. One of the items I was looking at has been increased 30% since when I last checked, probably a month ago. So I went and looked at some other things. Of the items I checked most had remained constant or increased. One had dropped by a small amount. The 30% increase was the worst of the things I track, most of the increases ranged from 10-20%.

Beware! Amazon is playing the Grinch for Christmas.
