Not at all unreasonable. On any day.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks Dana, no matter how many times I ask it never happens and I'm already dealing with a very low amount of spoons. I'm so angry right now.

I realize having a very dramatic asthma attack would not be good for you, but I'd be so tempted. Maybe you could fake one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Totally reasonable, sj! That's shitty.
JZ, I know this is what "they" always say, but I bet your manager would really appreciate a nice note.

JZ, I agree a nice note and maybe a baked gift her and her kid would enjoy?
We wouldn't even be here if ltc wasn't so excited about it. It's not like Dave and I have any interest in eating anything today. If mom lives close enough I would have dropped her off and gone home.

Dana, no that wouldn't help anything because I'm just being overly dramatic anyway.

I did not go driving this morning! Have a lunch out at one, which is about all the holiday celebrating that I want.

Thrive to spite them
Sj I am sorry you are dealing with unreasonable family.
I don't have to leave for work for awhile but I'm ready to go now. Matthew and his mom are getting on each other's nerves and it's getting on mine. Her anxiety is messing with her so she is asking lots of questions looking for reassurance ad fretting about things. This annoys Matthew (because most of it is directed at him and his mom just bursts stuff out because "I'll forget if I don't say it and I have to say it or I'll forget". I am using my sound canceling ear muffs so I don't have to listen to the parade on tv and the multiple phone calls she is making on speaker phone .
Inspired by Sophia and my mom and there gettinf rid of clutter I bagged up a bunch of yarn I have that I don't like and so I don't crochet with it, but then I feel bad because I bought it so I should use it up and I decided to just get rid of it. I also culled out a bunch of books the other day.

Punishingly Intricate
That cacophony would drive me crazy, too, Askye. I loathe the TV sound being on when I'm not deliberately paying attention to a show. I'd be tempted to put it on mute every time she gets on a call, at least. Plus, for god's sake, during commercials. I'm thankful that tv being on is not part of my family's Thanksgiving (and that a friend posted video of the Morgan State band in the Macy's parade so I could see that).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Happy Thanksgiving for all who celebrate, and happy Thursday for those who don't. I'm slowly getting over being sick. Today I walked the cat for the first time since Sunday. He's happier and the fresh air did me good. It feels odd to not be making a T-day feast, but I just don't have the spoons. Eggs for lunch, the dog show, and then a nap, I think.
