Long weekend and I&#8217;m finally sleeping in a bit. I also had an awful calf cramp that kept me out of the gym. Either way, lots of rest and I finally caught up with all the stuff on my DVR.

Thanksgiving Dinner was take-out from Irving St kitchen. Half-a-turkey, stuffing, gravy, two types of winter greens and mashed potatoes and I think my sister told me it was only $60. It fed four of us and we had leftovers. I also finally went to Little Big Burger and I think the trick is to just get two sliders. That was quite tasty as well, and I think I&#8217;d rather go there than Violetta. Neither place beats Killer Burger.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part about having vacation time, especially around Black Friday, is I have extra time to buy things I don&#8217;t need. I bought a set of DVDs with Frosty, Rudolph, and Santa (which I haven&#8217;t opened), a hard drive that didn&#8217;t arrive in the 2 days that Amazon promised, and new blades for my grandmother&#8217;s old barber clippers. The clippers work great, by the way, and Megan was in town trying them out.<\/p>\n<p>So my calf feels better and I think that massage from Heather at the Body Bar helped. I made it to the gym today, but fortunately I didn&#8217;t participate in whatever this was:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/IMG_0758.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/IMG_0758-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_0758\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/IMG_0758-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/IMG_0758-150x111.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/IMG_0758.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p> because it looks like that one guy is going to be pretty sore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woo!
