We are doing Thanksgiving at home for the first time in years! We will have a whopping 5 people (usually it is just Kelly and me). It is getting exciting - all the planning and who will be cooking what.

Laura, cleaning and decluttering sounds great to me right now. My house is full of stuff! I wish you all the best with this next step.
Windsparrow, I meant to say, thanks for what you wrote. It helped. Every little bit of light in the darkness helps. Thanks.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Such great news, Callaluna!
Hooray for the New Boy, Amy!
Because we're a family of three living far from our extended families, we've sort of accidentally adopted a tradition of going out to eat on Thanksgiving--something we're far from alone in, since the restaurants we go do are always packed. It's nice--relaxing, we don't have to deal with leftovers, and so on.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am at work but am hovering between numb depression and anxiety attack. The one-two punch of this election and my SAD kicking in, on top of coming to terms with needing to leave this job, has really messed me up. Then again, home is not the greatest place right now since my roommate and I are having friction.
Also no Tgiving plans. I usually go to my friend/mentor/boss' house, but he's leavng town and I'm not keen on spending time with him anyway. Something will come up, it always does. There's are lots of holiday orphans around here.
God, I feel useless. It's a really good thing I get validation from my other job.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, computer, why do you claim that it will take 4.5 hours to unzip this file? I'm so confused. Edit: Oh, because I made a stupid mistake. That makes sense.
Sorry, smonster. Everything always seems to happen at once.

Our wings are not tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh smonster. Hang in there, friend.
