You know, Thanksgiving is not a very restful holiday. The whole time food is being prepared, family is visited or else you are frantically cleaning your own house in preparation for company.
And, of course, there is Black Friday! Helena and I got up at midnight in order to stand in line at Best Buy for the opportunity to buy a laptop at a screaming sale price.
Most of the break I woke up early because I couldn't sleep. Isn't that always the way of it? You struggle to get up and get the kids to school on time on normal days and look forward to sleeping in on holiday. Nope, some demented internal clock snaps you awake at an ungodly hour! You lay awake thinking of all the things that need to happen in the upcoming day and decide it would be for the best if you just got up and got started on all of it.
I ended up coming down with a cold just in time to go back to work. Probably a combination of lack of sleep, too much work, and standing out in the cold November air for 5 hours on Friday.

Did you get the laptop?
Yes, although they are shipping it to me because of a mistake on their part.
