Lovely. Snow. Oh well. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We didn't celebrate as usual. It's still hard not celebrating holidays but I understand why we don't. I still don't have my glasses yet. We haven't even gone to walmart to pick out frames. We just can't afford to do it. I've had to stop reading books because I end up with terrible headaches. I am lucky I have ebooks and am able to increase the font to I can see the words that way. I'm always looking for new txt ebooks. I need to find a good place to store the books.
