Though there's often someone else saying, "Yeah, but I can't watch the game!"
We've done Thanksgiving in a restaurant once or twice. I'd say the main downside is not having leftovers.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

We're going to my parents' for Thanksgiving, which will be my first time back in MA since January. So exciting! M will probably make a pie on Thanksgiving morning, and we'll pitch in with general prep, but most of the work will be done already by the time we get in on Weds night.
I was really hoping we'd get to host Christmas this year (we've still never hosted a holiday dinner, and I would love to), but we're going to OKC instead, mostly because M's grandmother is (miraculously) still with us and doing pretty well, but in no shape to travel, and we want to spend as much time with her as we can.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
We did restaurant Thanksgivings for a few years, but the lack of leftovers was sadmaking. OTOH, GIANT DAMNED VATS of trifle!

When Jim Caviezel's on, I mostly sit and admire his cheekbones.

He's pretty, but..so not magnetic or compelling.

Yeah ... but he has great cheekbones. I'm shallow and easily entertained.

ION, I'm invoking the FPC, but can I have some hairpats? Therapy this week was (once again) hard, and today is just ... ugh. There's nothing happening with the job hunt, I feel overwhelmed and stressed out about everything, and I just want to lay down and cry for a while.
On the good side, I have managed to work on the fiction project every day of November so far. That's something, I guess. But yeah, I feel ... not good right now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Jilli, hairpats galore! Hard therapy is probably good therapy, but that doesn't make it any easier. You are valuable and loved and it's totally okay to feel overwhelmed. You have had a shit ton going on in your life, and it's a totally normal reaction. But you're smart and savvy and pretty and you can get through this.
