Happy Thanksgiving

Technically, if you count posts to other blogs, I've still been blogging every day. Yesterday I posted my last (as in final, for a long time) telenovela recap. It wasn't the masterpiece I had hoped, but you gotta recap the episode you've got, and not the episode you wish you had.

Boy, was I ever in a shitty mood.

The birthday thing upset me a lot, and it was actually worse than I described. It got even worse still before we finally worked it out, but we did work it out.

It turns out I was coming down with something; no wonder I was so fatigued, miserable, and out of sorts. The miserable headache's gone now, but the rest of me is not feeling so great. I'm not sure whether I'm going to be able to make it to Thanksgiving dinner or not.

I also found out who the so-called "slacker" was at work. I've seen her workload, and she has definitely not been slacking; however, it's true that she claimed she had completed certain tasks that she hadn't. (Which I am now stuck with, although I would have ended up stuck with them even if she'd been honest about them.)

Yeah, I'm whining again. So sue me! I promise I'll stop when I feel better, which won't be today.

I've never missed a Thanksgiving before. :(( My first Thanksgiving in Florida was a real stinker; it was rainy and crappy and a lot of my relatives were either sick or working that day, so it was just me, my uncle, one cousin, and one of their neighbors. We went to a cafeteria/buffet-style restaurant that was frequented mostly by old people who preferred minced, bland food. As for the staff - I overhead one of the employees asking another why everyone kept asking for turkey.

Even if I have to stay home today, I'm pretty sure there will be leftovers. And they won't be minced or bland.

I hope everyone else has a much better day! Happy Thanksgiving!
