Friday - Busy Day

Today ended up being busier than expected. 

I woke up at silly-o-clock - AGAIN - and couldn't get back to sleep. I was tempted to get out of bed, but too stubborn to do it. I tossed and turned for about forty minutes before picking up my Kindle and having a read before I felt tired enough to go back to sleep. It was only an hour before the alarm. I should have turned it off, but it was supposed to be a sunny morning and I wanted to go see the beavers for a quick walk. 

There were a few beavers out this morning. So funny to watch. Some are bashful and submerge back into the lake as soon as they spot me watching. Others swim closer and take a look at me as I'm looking at them. It was really cold this morning -5c/23F. I had to pull out my big winter coat and handwarmers while I was out this morning!

After my walk, husband and I took Thanksgiving dinner down to my middle son. He had to work yesterday. He lives by Lake Michigan, so we stopped in at the lighthouse. It was quite strange as one side of the lighthouse was really windy and wavy, the other side quite calm.

In the afternoon husband and oldest son went out to husband's friend's house to visit for a few hours. I did end up going to a local supermarket as they had a good sale on coats and socks and husband needed both. After that I chatted with sister for a while, had a nice relaxing bath, cleaned the bathroom, did some washing, did some washing up and then got some Ebay things to mail. Phew!

Here's a video of those waves too. I love wavy days. Always reminds me of home. Obviously Lake Michigan is a lake and not the sea, but on windy days it reminds me of the sea
