Good one, meara!
5k walked in record (that is to say, all time slowest) time, pumpkins are stuffed and glazed and in the oven. Having a bit of a res before everything else.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy Turkey Day, you guys! I hope there's good eating and rest and relaxation for all.
I've already been Black Friday shopping online, so I've got to back away from the internet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wasn't going to do any Black Friday shopping, but my phone is now shutting off at 90% battery, and the mophie juice pack can't keep up. So I'm off to score a Pixel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm impressed they let you have the Black Friday deals!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Just got back from my MIL's house. Standard Thanksgiving fare here- turkey, gravy, mashed sweet potatoes, stuffing, vegetable(mixed corn, carrots and asparagus), cranberry jello mold and apple pie. (Yes, it was just the four of us.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
We had 9 people, and the full spread included a butternut squash galette, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, a cheesy potato dish, roasted Brussels sprouts, kale salad, rolls, a cheese plate, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and a raisin custard pie. Of which Jane ate the rolls and the pumpkin pie.

It's ridiculous. Our big sale day is supposed to be Boxing Day. And the sales go all week, Black Friday Preview, Black Friday Sneak Peek, Black Friday Weekend.
Tomorrow, I'll atone for my big store shopping by going to a craft show.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My brother, who spent a good portion of his childhood eating only hamburgers and frozen pizza, cooked a turkey today. I didn't believe it until he sent me a picture. I don't know what to believe anymore.

Yeah, all of that is ridiculous now. "Black Friday" deals last week? Yeah, no.

Our wings are not tired.
I just finished putting the last of the leftovers in containers in the fridge. And rinsed ALL the dishes, bowls, pans, and so forth. The tables still have random glasses and stuff on them, but nothing that will attract critters. Yikes. Tired now with glass of wine at hand.
Besides the fun of seeing beloved family and eating great food it was cool letting my relatives test drive my car. Unfortunately my #1 son blew up at my 5 year old nephew because he kept throwing a basketball at him out on the court. He hit him the first time and son told him not to do that, which nephew of course took as the start of a new fun game. Son is normally great with kids, but he just starting yelling at him, totally out of emotional control. I wasn't there, which probably would have defused it quicker. Anyway his dad and aunt sent him away and he came inside and called a friend to give him a ride. He never told me about the issue.
So, no political arguments or anything like that, but still the asshole relative, who is my son. Sigh.
But with that exception the entire day went very well.
