You can escape to my house if you want, ita. Although that's not so much escaping the day as throwing yourself into it.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yikes, Jessica! So glad everyone is okay.
We are in good shape here, table set, bird in oven, potatoes peeled, prosecco poured. Just waiting for the guests to arrive.
The St. Bernard will make a big impression, I suspect, before he's locked away in the garage for the benefit of the allergic.
Many thanks to and for all the Buffistas
My 13 year old nephew has a girlfriend. Her name is Bryten, pronounced Brighton. I did not flinch at all!
Thanksgiving breakfast ended (green chile egg bake, french toast, spanish tortilla from Lori and Lina, 5 bottles of Prosecco) and we now are making Thanksgiving dinner for fewer people. Nice and mellow.
Bird is stuffed and in the roaster. Brussels sprouts and tomatoes are marinating. Cranberry sauce is chilling. Need to hear the butternut squash soup, but that won't happen until the turkey is resting. Our from the local bakery, so all that's left now is cookies of doom!
And the big dog knocked over the five year old. Woops.
Jess, so scary! I'm glad and grateful you're all all right.
The neighbors had attendees cancel on them, and have asked us over "between games" to help them consume wine and dessert. We shall take the pumpkin pie with us to share.
Stuffed and drunk, waiting for pie.
The line at the buffet went around the corner, so we went to our favorite diner, where the manager is an old friend and the wait staff has seen us all the time. It wasn't insanely busy, so they could stop by and chat occasionally, and the TV was on in the corner, and everybody got what they wanted. Not a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving, but the pie was insanely good. Home for naps. Though Hubby dumped us off to go visit his father's grave. Not sure why he wanted to go alone, but he died this time of year and Hubby can do things on his own.
Cancel the alarms! There was pie at the dinner.
