I’ve decided to take a break from hosting thanksgiving this year. Uncle Jan (Shannon’s) graciously offered to take everyone out instead, which works out just as well, because it still brings everyone together. With the minor monetary pressures of my cardiac stuff, money stress from Mani having a tooth extraction and me being a god damn moron yesterday, I just don’t think I could balance all the stuff in my mind and thanksgiving at the same time. I’ll be back at it next year.
