In this Post It Post I thought that I’d give you a little bit of Thanksgiving Leftovers. A couple of scraps of turkey and maybe a single spoonful of stuffing left to devour before we move on to the Christmas season.
With at least one of the Post It Note drawings below, I wanted to make sure that you saw it before it got too late and I had to wait an entire year for the Holiday season to roll back around to post it.
Last year I draw “Pilgrim Troy” while sitting at my desk at work. With Thanksgiving but a couple of days away, I was definitely looking forward to the Holiday break and my days off. As the end of the year would approach at work, things always got a lot more hectic, especially as we geared up to finalize designs and begin laying out our next catalog. So a mini break was always a welcome event.
Okay, so what I didn’t tell you about this year’s “Black Friday” is that I was sick. I woke up with a slight fever, the glands in my throat swollen, and not being able to swallow much without my right ear in some serious pain. Boy talk about fun. At least I missed Thanksgiving by a day, had I felt this way the day before…I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy turkey festivities. So the pain made shopping in the AM on Friday more of a chore than I would have liked but my wife really wanted to experience it so I didn’t want her to miss out. You know, trying to get a doctor’s appointment with your regular doctor the day after a holiday is next to impossible…well, there’s nothing “NEXT” to it…it “IS” completely impossible! It wasn’t until the next day that my wife suggested that we go to the urgent care facility nearest us to get checked out and overhauled. Turns out that I had a little infection, non-contagious, in one of the glands in my throat. After some antibiotics and rest…I don’t feel green anymore…hurray to modern medicine! Now if they could only figure out this aging think, I’d buy the doctors a Blueberry Muffin…until then…no Muffin!
