Today is our Thanksgiving but we had our big dinner in the diningroom yesterday as that way it also combines with Sunday dinner, plus today the 27 YR old also has jiu-jitsu and may not be home in time. We had 5 turkeys, 2 hams, 2 pumpkin pies, 2 kinds of potatoes; mashed, and I made the little baby herbed ones in olive oil (sort of like the garlic butter ones the 21 YR old used to make when she was here) 2 kinds of veggies, 2 kinds of stuffing(I love stuffing even though it's really just bread and spices, the most peasant food) and buns. I don't think I forgot anything. My mother normally also has cranberry sauce( eww) but couldn't find any this year but she's the only one that eats that nasty stuff anyway.Buddy even had his own plate as well with turkey, ham and peas and a bit of pie( he loves pumpkin!) and we ate soooo much the turkey wasn't the only thing that was stuffed!
I think this is also the first time none of the out-of-town/out-of-province kids never came but to be fair most of them did come up just in August which is just 2 months ago and it is such an expense and the 23 YR old always has a habit when she has a BF to abandon her family to spend holidays with his family instead( even though they aren't even married; I realize once you're married you generally alternate between spending time with his family and yours) she did it with her last BF and she does it with this one,too, even though she should be spending it with her family and he spending holidays with his family, and yesterday Buddy also chased a mouse( I've never seen the old guy move so fast; when he spots a mouse he goes from zero to turbo in seconds!) and he ran into a wall as he chased it as it ran into the safety of a small hole in the baseboard at the bottom of the wall!
As for me, I'm most thankful for him of course, but also for good times, good days, and good memories, which icl. a happy childhood for the most part(other than being molested and bullied) and for friends( and I don't miss Patti personally since she ended up being racist, bad-mouthing her other friends and being nosey and reporting people but rather I miss having a close friend I can talk to, confide in, and laugh with), my travels(and it's kind of funny too how I've been to 37 countries and several US states but only 2 provinces in my own country), the YMCA group( the only place I ever fit in as we were all "misfits") and the great friends I met there, when the kids were little when they still loved me, summers, Christmases as a kid, visiting relatives, the cottage, camp, etc.
My pain now also seems to be moving up; in my abdomen, stomach and now also in my sternum as well and maybe that's what it feels like being squeezed to death by a python? my back pain is bad still as well and from my abdomen to sternum it feels so tight, so constricted and hard to breathe as well, and I heard that Hockey Canada is now being blacklisted for sex abuses it covered up( and it really must be big news too if even I've heard of it when I don't even care about or follow sports!) but I can't say that I'm surprised though; what do you expect from a bunch of low-class uncultured rednecks, anyway? It's funny as well I noticed that it seems the mean bitchy girls also all seem to be named Britney, Ashley, or Stacey, and the douche-bag guys named either Chad, Brad, or Brandon.
Fall in love with souls, not faces.
