I admit that this Thanksgiving did not go as planned; mom got sick and could not make it (her flu shot), and bo's daughter spent Thanksgiving with her mom and grandmother. I didn't find that last part out until hours before the meal. I goofed the gravy this year...it was my favorite, a powdered mix from Sam's...but unfortunately the one I grabbed from my cupboard was EXPIRED and rancid. Yes, it went all over my food, turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing, before I found out.
When we went to Walmart to pick up last minute things, shopping was hampered by Black Friday. Lines started by 6 p.m. and people were missing out on Thanksgiving with their families to wait in line!!! Last year I snagged nothing on my list of 12 or so items, and this time I had somehow convinced myself it would be next Friday because this Friday would interfere with Thanksgiving, and planned to be at Game Stop to get two "new" used Nintendo DS Lites gaming systems (my son and I broke the hinges on our game players), and to get my son a Pokemon Black game. I was broke and not in the mood to drive half an hour to Game Stop at midnight. Ah well, next year maybe for the DS systems, and I might look in a trading journal for the game.
bo and I had a disagreement about him making a heck of a lot of noise in the middle of my sleep time. Both things ruined my day. Because I was under such sleep deprivation, I took a nap later with him and...he did it again. He woke up an hour and a half early and started playing his new game...with the door open and the noise on. Yes, it woke me up. I have ears like a bat and they do not shut off when I am sleeping. (I am not used to dealing with a sub who can keep telling me his thoughtlessness is the fault of his brain injury.) I am still looking for the right way to handle this. When I am feeling bad or short on temper it is not the right time to correct someone other than with words, however...he detests writing...and the next time he does this to me I might have him write several pages of lines, as well as writing cue cards and taping one on his gaming system and one on the bedroom door to remind him of what I expect, lol.
Bottom line, I had a "sleep dep" Thanksgiving, the meal didn't turn out the way I planned, people didn't show up, and Black Friday was annoying. I miss my kitties. It seems I am rarely in my own home nowadays and I feel homesick for doing my usual things exactly when I want to. I was planning on going home on Sunday but might go home on Saturday instead. Oh, while I was in the hospital a few weeks ago, one of my wisdom teeth finally came mostly through the back of my jaw (still have 1/3 of it buried), and it hurts like blazes. Yep...a cavity and I know they will probably just yank or dig the thing out...and soon enough is not fast enough for me. Am crossing my fingers that they do not make me wait until I am done with my six months of blood thinner pills. (Will be going to three doctors in the next week so I will holler for antibiotics or something, as my whole lower right jaw started throbbing two days ago.)
Next Thanksgiving will be at MY HOUSE. [:D] I know it's awful, but I miss sharing Thanksgiving with my fur babies...it is our tradition to put a small shower curtain (half size) on the floor and flip chunks of turkey onto it during our meal until the cats can't eat anymore. Yep, I do buy the biggest honking turkey that I can find in the store, lol.
As you can see, I am grouchy (having cramps too) and am an utter joy to live with this week.
