Getting ready for the holidays

 I'm just having a cozy Thanksgiving week, going on walks with friends, spending lots of time with the cats, just getting the house ready for recovery time. I've repositioned the outside cat shelters and replenished their straw in anticipation of colder weather, I've got blankets out for the inside cats so they can nap as comfortably as possible (they are so comfortable) and today I've ever got the fake fireplace going. It's an old fireplace insert with a light behind plastic logs with a clear section to simulate glowing coals, and there's a spinner behind it that brushes tinsel against the plastic so it sounds like a crackling fire (and this also makes the light change a little). It's very cool. I found it at a junk shop a couple of years ago and I love it. I'll put a little fiberoptic tree up after Thanksgiving, and that'll probably be it for decorating this year! 

The only thing I need to do this week is make a cheesecake (there is a very good no-bake cheesecake recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction that I like), and some cranberry orange ginger topping for it (gonna wing it). 

I hope you're all staying warm and safe.
