A Torrent of Consciousness

Thanksgiving was nice! As I said before it isn't really my favorite holiday but I did have a good time. Right before we left I had to change cause I spilled grease on my sweater (which still didn't come out after cleaning, rip) but beyond that it was good! The 5 year old was running around as always, and I ended up keeping our friend's father-in-law occupied talking about Current Events, but you know. Such is life. I told the guy, when he expressed worry for our safety as trans folks, that we were probably going to be okay. Things are scary, sure! But my role in our household is kind of to be the optimist, and to be the one who says "maybe the sky isn't falling today" when people start getting scared.

The turkey was soooooo good man. My wife can Cook. Normally I only care about turkey in a sandwich; for roastin birds I always prefer a nice chicken. No roasted turkey can match that imo. We also had the typicals: mashed potatoes, cranberry goop, etc. Good eating.

Today I have been in quite an odd mood. I had a good time seeing my girlfriend, but most of the day I just spent lounging around. I guess I'm allowed, being on vacation and all, but still. I did make some progress in the game I'm playing for Journal Updated. Oblivion is fun! It's not Skyrim, and it's no Morrowind, and it's CERTAINLY no Arena, but I'm still having a nice time.

On the theme of thanks-giving, I suppose I do have some things I ought to be more thankful for. This year has been really difficult, but really good. I fell in love with a new person! I have taken more baby steps toward addressing my mild health issues! But also we lost our doctor this year, and my ability to complete tasks I set for myself has gone downhill so dramatically that it's hard to think directly at it sometimes. I'm really grateful to my friends who have put a lot of effort into supporting and loving me this year. I truly never believe myself worthy of such dedication, but I still desperately need it.

I'm going to call it here and upload the next Planescape recap. Next up is my trip to visit my in-laws, and I have not yet gottne logged into this account on my phone. So if I don't post til Tuesday, that's why.
