Everyone is basically OK, but we thought about how we're feeling today, and have postponed the Thanksgiving meal until tomorrow: I fell last night at about 5 a.m. (I think I slipped on a rug in the bathroom, while getting up after using the toilet.) After getting up and checking that nothing major was wrong, I spent most of an hour applying ice packs to various parts of my body in the hope of preventing bruising. We keep two ice packs in the freezer, a good compromise between wanting to have multiple ice packs for when we need them, and not crowding out all the other things that we want to keep in the freezer. I tried going back to bed, and discovered more tender spots, so I got up again, took a naproxen, and iced whichever spots seemed to need it most.
The next time I went back to bed, I did fall asleep, for about an hour and a half. The ice packs and naproxen seem to have helped a lot, but I am somewhat stiff, in addition to the lost sleep.
The other "how we're feeling today" is that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude slept badly two nights running. Our Thanksgiving meal is just the three of us, so changing plans won't disappoint or inconvenience anyone else. Adrian made a frittata for tonight's supper, and tomorrow we will roast a duck and a pan of root vegetables, and eat cranberry relish and an apple crisp and I think a wild rice salad.
