Oh, my, I have fallen down and I hope I can get back up!  Coming back, first, the jet lag, and now I think I have a cold, so have not written since we got back from France.  Not much to report, except we have been walking, which is great.  I also took a short walk this morning, but, as I said, I haven’t been feeling very good, and still not on a regular sleeping schedule.  Hopefully by Monday.

We had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday.  Nothing elaborate.  A friend mentioned a plan for Thanksgiving for one (or two or three) from the New York Times, and I looked it up – thanks Kathleen.  I didn’t follow it to the letter, but just used it as inspiration.  Turkey cutlets with a red wine sauce, roasted beets and roasted sweet and regular potatoes.  Also some stuffing from the store.  Had more elaborate plans, but since I wasn’t feeling so great, they got scrapped.

Went to the movies today and the day before yesterday.  Hunger Games: Catching Fire on Wednesday and Philomena today.  We enjoyed both of them, but I particularly liked Philomena.  A little too sentimental for David.  HG:CF was not as violent as I anticipated, so that was good.

The flight back from Paris was good, but oh so long.  I have to say that for some reason, this trip, we were taken care of very well.  From the moment we checked in at Charles DeGaul, there was someone assigned to help us get to the gate and onto the plane and then for the transfer in San Francisco, the same.  Someone took us through customs and to the gate.  I was very grateful because if I had been trying to do it alone, I don’t think it would have happened.  We had to pick up our luggage in San Francisco, go through customs and then recheck it, and even with the help, I felt a bit overwhelmed.

Anyway, we are back in Palm Springs now, and getting, slowly but surely back to our old schedule.  David has laid in the sun every day, except today.  It rained!
