We normally go to my cousin's where that whole side of the family gathers. But after all of them flaked on my mom this month, I'm not feeling like spending the day with them. And yes, I'm tweaked enough to be willing to cook.

I'm making cranberry relish! Unless everyone hated it, and then I won't. I couldn't tell. It was weird making it without my usual tools and it is something I really like, but just a spoonful at a time, cause it is strong.
Fuck, I still have to figure out Xmas. I have an open invite from my brother. My parents are assuming I'm spending it with them. (They are doing Xmas at TG with my brother.) At this point? I hate to leave my parents alone, my brother will have company, but I just don't really give a shit about the holiday outside it being fun for the nephew and...it's a wash. Maybe I'll win a trip somewhere. I swear to god, it would be easier if I had a kid or SO, but I'm not willing to do that 24/7 365. Bleargh. I wish we could rent a compound or some shit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanksgiving is going to be a non-event for me this year--and hopefully by the time Christmas rolls around it'll be less painful to travel.
However, if I don't get off my butt to buy tickets, that'll be moot.

Feh. Hope you feel better.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am large with the holiday malaise -- no clue what to do about Thanksgiving, except that I reallyreally don't want to deal with family. Either side. Perhaps on the phone, but only briefly. Food will be eaten. Not really inspired by the whole turkeyish genre this year. Currently lacking any other ideas. Might hunt down friends, if others are similarly unattached and uninspired.
Oh, and there must be cranberries.
Go team everyone's favorite holiday?

Honestly, I love my family. I enjoy spending time with them (when they aren't doing inlaw drama.) I look forward to seeing them. But right now? My found family holiday is what I look forward to. No weird loaded expectations, no obligations. Just people. That I like. Who entertain me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it wrong that I hope I feel about 3% worse tomorrow morning, so that I can justify not going to work?

I'm only working a partial day tomorrow. CJ has an orthodontist appointment at 11am. He will offically enter the braces phase of pre-teen life. Poor boy.

Burrell, I highly advocate running away.
