Boom! You changed your life just like that.
I really did. In about one month, from remote state approval to walking Leifur on my new back porch.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Amazing, Calli! I hope it goes incredibly well for you now that you're there!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I feel so estranged from my family -- I've never gotten a Christmas or T-day invite from either of my brothers. Thanksgiving doesn't mean much to me except for an excuse to eat turkey and stuffing but the Xmas stuff does. I used to be able to celebrate with Rosemary, after all the parental-age relatives died off, but now she's gone too.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
This past weekend Gary and I went to New Jersey for a convention. Smallish , but relaxing.
We will end up going to two Thanksgiving meals on Thursday. The RTC Mr. S is in is having a catered luncheon for the kids and parents from 12-1. Then, the traditional Thanksgiving dinner with Gary's mom.

Our wings are not tired
Theo, I'm sorry, that's no fun. I'm so thankful that Kristin and I have built our own celebrations with our friends.

Theo, that's a bummer. Have you ever reached out to them about it? I ask because I don't think I've ever been "invited" for Christmas at my sister's but she then she gets annoyed/mad if I don't go (which I hear about from others not her).
Relatedly, I am also thankful that Kristin and Drew have built their own celebrations with their friends.

And now for something completely different:
Some good (YDefinitionOfGoodMV) election news!
New ballots finally dropped in CA13 and it has flipped from R to D, with the Dem now ahead by 182 votes. Still too close to call but most of the remaining ballots are from Merced and other northern counties that lean Dem so, along with CA45, this is likely to mean Dems will have more seats in the House than where they started after the 2022 election.
