Yay for presents!

Pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving was great, even though I was sick. There’s this couple that I adore who were at the party, and they gave me a belated birthday present. Two, actually. Though I liked both presents a lot, one of them was especially thoughtful. I had commented on it in the past very casually and without intent or expectation, and one of these friends remembered and bought it for me. Don’t you love that? Unexpected thoughtfulness. It makes me feel so good.

And now it’s time to gear up for the REAL Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to see the family. I’m so excited. Hippie, the oldest of my 3 brothers, can’t come this year because he’s busy dj-ing and playing his harmonica with the steel drum band on the cruise ship he works on. Poor sap. Stuck in the Caribbean. My God, it should be a country-western song for all the tragedy. Anyway, the other three sibs will be there, and that’ll be fun. I just hope my car makes it. And, of course, that I don’t hit anybody on the way there, causing them to have shoulder surgery and sue me. Jerks.
