Another year - another year of thanks.
I really hope that all of you will spend the Thanksgiving holiday in a way that fills you soul with warmth. It's probably something different for everyone. I will be around tomorrow with the exception of visiting my mom for a few hours. I predict you will see me online at some point.
I like to remind people, because obviously I am online on the holiday, that I am not without family or lonely in anyway. We just do our big family Thanksgiving on Saturday. I was thinking earlier today how many years it has been like this. A lot. When my paternal grandmother was alive, we did Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. She was a true matriarch. Married, divorced, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends, kids, grand kids, great grandkids and anyone who needed a place to go. Didn't matter if we loved or hated each other at the time, she commanded us to be there. And we were.
I have my grandmother's dining room table. When she was dying, she made us all allocate what we wanted. To be honest, my first pick was the kegerator that she kept in her basement. My sister and I could pour beer with no foam by age 5. Sadly, she did not let me have that, but she did tell me that I would get it eventually, because it was going to my dad. She suggested that I take the dining room table. She hosted 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I did all the others. Valentine's Day, Halloween, Birthday's, and any other weird party you could have. She said she thought I would put it to good use. I am not sure that I have in the 18 years since she has been gone, but it is because I can defer to others. I think my sister got everything else that went with Thanksgiving, but I got the table. And my sister can go fuck herself. If you frequent my room, you know there is no love lost there. My grandmother never would have let her behave the way she has in the last decade.
So...don't worry about me if I pop up online. I am perfectly happy to be hanging at home. It really just gives me the peace I need to do the whole fam thing on Saturday.
I am also fitting in a visit to the float spa on Friday to unwind ahead also. I may voyeur stream that just for funzies. Or because if you have ever contemplated a float...you can watch me. Naked. In the Pod @ 2:30
