Friday 11-28-25 Black Friday!!! Laid Back Day

 

Black Friday Shopping

 

Today was Black Friday. Did you go shopping? We didn't need anything so we stayed at home. We haven't gone shopping on Black Friday for years. If we need something we go on Amazon and buy it. If we can buy it locally we either order it and pick it up or go to the store and buy it.

We had an overcast day with the low of 50 degrees and the high of 65 degrees. It's nice to have cool weather and it's suppose to be around for a little while.

Larry spent the day working with Home Assistant. He is converting his workroom Echo Show to work with it so he had to order a new one to replace it, it arrived today. He got the new one configured and is in the process of getting the old one converted to Home Assistant. He worked on it for hours. He is making progress and having a lot of fun learning Home Assistant.

I woke up at 8:00 and had breakfast and then I went back to bed for a couple of hours. I wasn't feeling well, my allergies were bugging me. I had a headache but when I woke up it was gone. I didn't feel well until the evening.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Hard Road Mini of 5 games. It took me 48 minutes and 19 seconds, which put me in 11th place in my group. I played Angry Birds and Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I spent a lot of the day working on my jigsaw puzzle. 

I played nine games of pinball. They were Aerosmith, Big Buck Hunter Pro, Blizzard of Ozz, Cirqus Voltaire, Dracula, Fun House, Godzilla, Magic Pinball and Slimer! Ghostbusters. While playing Godzilla I entered my initials as high score #10 and I joined the cirqus when I played Cirqus Voltaire. I hadn't join the cirqus in a long time. I had fun playing pinball.

Every week we get an e-mail from PBS to let us know what's new on PBS. This week we were notified that the third season of Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) was now available. We watched the last episode from last season to refresh our memories on where it left off. Then we watched a couple episodes of the third season. It's a good series of a team of doctors and nurses who fly to emergencies in the outback areas in Australia. Then I watched the second movie of Sherlock Holmes called Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and Stuart Little from our collection of movies. I ended up doing 2,500 steps.
