Dad’s transfer from the rehab facility back to their apartment and our meeting with the hospice nurse went well. My brother in NC is coming up tomorrow night with my nephew so we’ll do Thanksgiving Friday at my folks. I’m making a very delicious miso squash soup and homemade applesauce both of which my Dad will be able to eat (he can’t really do solid food now).
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

That's the way.

Happy Thanksgiving, Buffistas. And continued {{{lisah}}} {{{smonster}}} and general ~ma to everyone and this place.

Cereal ceasefire: I just wrote to friends "Hamas and Qatar approve our [dependent on ceasefire] plans for tomorrow", and not in a tongue in cheek way.
This timeline is really weird, y'all.
(Starting 7am tomorrow, and hostages will start to be released on 4pm and I don't think I'll breathe until I see them back in the country).

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for all of you, every day of the year.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Lisah, I hope you can find meaningful moments on this difficult time. In my family we leaned on dark humor, but I don’t know how yours rolls.

Some easy breakup~ma, please. Trying to do the stuff exchange today. They don’t know I’m coming, unless they are reading my text messages, which isn’t out of the realm of possibility. If you’re here, R, hi! This is the awesome community that helped you out because I vouched for you.
Happy Thanksgiving, or yam sham, or Wolfenoot, or possible ceasefire, and/or Thursday.

Well, I had a whole conversation with my Mom about bringing oysters (my Dad’s favorite) and, if they did happen to kill him would that be such a bad thing? Would he maybe be ok going out that way? (We’re not actually going to bring oysters.)

Our family Thanksgiving is in Memphis Saturday, so tonight I just got a couple of personal turkey dinners from a caterer and am having Mom over. It will probably be a better holiday dinner than the last-minute Chinese takeout I scrambled to get last year. (Which would have been perfectly fine for a non-holiday meal, I should clarify.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Lisah, I hope you are able to have some good, quality family time.
smonster, I hope it's as easy as possible
Here's hoping the ceasefire leads to rapid progress toward a more tenable peace.
I just looked up to see what that loud engine outside was and discovered a fire truck in front of my building. They didn't use sirens so I'm going to presume there is no actual fire.
I made a frittata (with dandelion greens) for the first time this morning. I should've taken it off the heat a little sooner, but it wasn't bad. Later I'll do some salmon, wild rice, and roasted sweet potatoes.
