Between our trip to Martin and the week of Thanksgiving, I worked (like many people). It was not very exciting. It was busy.
The week of Thanksgiving was exciting. Let's discuss.
1. It was my birthday. Yay. I am now 34, which means I only have more more year before I age out of EF Ultimate Break and Contiki Trips, which are for 18-35 year olds.

2. I saw & Juliet at the Orpheum with my mother. It is a jukebox musical retelling of the end of Romeo and Juliet with the music of producer Max Martin (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, etc). I thoroughly enjoyed it. The music was fantastic and it was hilarious. There was a non-binary character, and my mother was confused. She liked the character and their storyline, but she was definitely confused.
3. We went to the UT vs. Vandy game. Unfortunately, UT lost, but the first half was pretty competitive. I enjoy seeing the band's performances, but I think American football is incredibly inefficient. It was also cold, and it is supposed to continue to be cold. Ew.
I have also booked and started planning for summer 2026! I'm starting in Malaysia/Singapore (https://www.contiki.com/en-us/tours/malaysia-and-singapore-highlights?optionId=1649) and then going to Bali (https://www.goddessretreats.com/goddess-packages/bali-wellness-retreat-holistic-healing/). I am more than ready.
Anyway, I hope you have a great week. Stay warm and stay sane until the holidays. Please enjoy these cat pictures.
