Actually, I’m relatively calm right now, although I spent most of the day running around like a marmot on crack, trying to clean the house (half clean), grocery shop (done, I think), finish my work for the week (still need to write my EM column), and ignore my kids (did okay on this chore). Except I had to take the girl to the doctor, which was a two hour adventure, because no one could see her at the downtown office, so I had to drive her out to Enka, then wait. Then she had a strep test. Then we waited. The doc said it was positive. I asked for a shot for her. We waited. She got the shot and was immensely tough and brave, because she just is all that. And more. Then we waited to make sure she didn’t have a reaction to the shot. Then we drove home.
So, I have nine folks coming to dinner at the pnav tomorrow night, half of whom I don’t know. Some family of mine (Mom), some family of E-spouse’s (cousin), cousin’s significant other, her parents, and her parents’ friends. Actually, I randomly met one of the parents’ friends at the NC Writers Network Conference last weekend. This woman came up to me after I’d asked a question during one of the panels and said, “I think I’m having Thanksgiving dinner at your house in a few days.”
Oops, the cuz and SO are here, so I’ve got to go entertain. More tomorrow. I hope.
Happy turkey day to all!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Sounds like fun!
I’m about to butter up my turkey breast to pop in the oven. I’m having dinner all by myself today - and I’ve got to tell you… I’m enjoying this.
Packed meals at church today for delivery to local families. Home and cooking… and I can have thanksgiving just how *I* like it.
But yesterday? I was totally with you on the running around like crazy. But today and tomorrow make it totally worth it.
