What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

Kätzchen · 10-09-2021, 09:39 PM

Rico and I are doing a weekend of activities to express our gratitude with members of our family and family of friends: 4 days of expressing how thankful we are for all the many ways life blesses us. We're so thankful and we will spend our holiday spreading as much joy to others as others have given to us.

It will be a difficult time with sadness since I won’t see anyone, but doing what I can to care for myself helps a lot.

My plans include: reading and listening to the 1619 Project book I just received (this project comforts me in ways I can’t explain), calling family and friends and leaving messages for those who aren’t available, spending some time outdoors at the lake taking photos if it’s not too cold, picking up a pizza or some Chinese food, and creating layouts of designs of a 1619 project quilt that’s been on my mind.

It won’t be a perfect Thanksgiving, but it will be workable and at the end of the day I’ll be able to fall asleep thinking of the things I’m grateful for.

Hoping everyone has a nice Thanksgiving.

I will be working, my job has scheduled all of us, and we will see who actually shows up or calls in or has actually taken the time off with pto!

These days we pick-up dinners at the local senior center. We sit in our recliners (no diningroom or other table large enough to eat at). This apartment is too small for any other furniture. We have 2 small tables.

When I was working, this would be the start of my major holiday OT period.
Many of these shifts had incentives. Some were double-time, some with a comp. day off. Other nurses would comment about my cold approach, I'd always respond by asking how many gifts were under their tree and how much was gotten without incurring debt. My family has no problem celebrating Yule on 12/26. Milk those capitalists for all their worth.

It will be my wife, our son, & myself...by our choice.

My wife LOVES to entertain, always had a houseful in past (pre-covid)but we just aren't ready to do that yet.

We will have tofurkey, probably a smoked leg & wing for me, and some other vegan sides!!!

Wishing everyone here a peaceful Thanksgiving holiday. We will celebrate our thanks for having good health, love, & our home!!!
