I some sort of bug, so I haven't actually been able to eat the tasty Thanksgiving food I helped prepare. On the other hand, Spike is running the Jurassic Park movies, so that's good. How is everyone else's day?

My pumpkin cheesecake was under done. =( But the other food was good. Everyone is so tired now.

I'm sure it was delicious. My mom and I made walnut pie, which I'm looking forward to hopefully eating a piece of tomorrow.

How was your daily fight with your parents by the way? C'mon, you can tell us.

Oi, stop.

It was good just...more of a custard or flan texture than cheesecake.

I celebrated the day by giving some disease laden blankets to some natives, after stealing their food of course. Murica!

You keep trying to make Thanksgiving something it isn't. And every time it fails to work. :(

Didn't happen, so STFU and GTFO.

I got home about an hour ago from Thanksgiving at my aunt's house and it was a lot of fun. I got to play with three dogs! And my favorite cousins were there.

My aunt invited us to a Hanukkah dinner next month (she's the only one in our family who's Jewish but we're all invited) and I really hope we can make it. I like spending time with them.

Three dogs? What a score! Amazing. I'm so jealous.

That's exciting. I hope you're able to make your aunt's Hanukkah dinner next month as well. Sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm still so happy about the dogs. My aunt has the cutest corgi I've ever seen (his ears are amazing) and a really sweet rottweiler who spent half the time sitting on my feet, and my cousin got an old English bulldog puppy who's five months old now and excited about everything.

Had boneless wings and pizza and beer, watched Doctor Strange, and it's been quiet on the FOO end (for potential/expected drama, *knocks on wood, dear god*), so today's been decent.

It was a very ordinary day. Still a bit of discomfort from my surgery, but otherwise fine.

Mine was pretty successful.

There were no arguments for once. No politics and it was super calm. Holidays have gotten pretty boring as we've gotten older though.

I'm sick. :( My throat hurts less than it did yesterday, but I still feel like poop warmed over.

Me too. Sorry you aren't feeling well, anon. Hope you feel better soon.

I started my period so I've been swinging between being extremely grumpy and laughing at terrible jokes all day.

Same, only replace laughing at terrible jokes all day with "sobbing uncontrollably at old cartoons I haven't seen in ages".

My body tried to puke while I was having my shower. Didn't work because I hadn't eaten anything, but still uncomfortable.

I had a decent evening, but it was so warm in my aunt's house I fell asleep for two hours and was really groggy when it was time to leave. It's a miracle I made it home.

If it's not 60-65 I can't function anymore.

Pretty shitty, actually. Turns out I may have shot myself in the foot for getting rid of my roommate without a big stink. I'm allergic to tobacco, and she started smoking again. It's been months of "No really, I've stopped this time" and going back, and I just want it out of my apartment...

And I miss my family back in the states, all having the holiday together.

It was great! I went to a football game and my team won! \o/

All right, so my mom is almost 13 years older than her sister (there's 2 brothers in between); my aunt is actually slightly closer in age to my oldest sister, because my mom had 3 kids in her 20s in the 1980s. My aunt didn't settle and have kids until her mid-30s, by which point my sisters and I were all grown. So have 2 1st-cousins who are 9 and 6, and oh my god they are such crazies!

They do play well with their 2nd-cousin (my niece, 3 years), but they have so much energy all the time and it's insane. Lots of chasing and yelling and I just wanted to hide in the kitchen the whole time and cook, but they're tearing all over like loons, and asking me and my mom stuff they should be asking their mom, or someone else more prepared to play with them. They came over at Halloween too, and did the same stuff. They like to go looking for our cat, who wisely was hiding somewhere. But that's hide-and-seek, right?! At Halloween they opened my closet where the cat's not allowed to go (he can't open the sliding door, don't open it for him!) so I put a little note on my closet to please keep it closed this time. And they did, which is great! But they looked for him under my bed and stripped ALL the nice clean sheets off it. :\

They also went outside to run off some of that energy, and the older boy went in the pool when he was told not to-- waded in up to his chest and cheerfully splashed around, even though the filter's broken and it's all dirty. There's no point fixing the filter asap when it's autumn and nobody's swimming, right? Ha ha, never underestimate little boys, apparently! But I had to find him dry clothes while his dried out, and I didn't hear about any kind of consequences for disobeying that order... I'm hoping there'll be some at home, like less computer time, but I really doubt it. I never would have done that as a kid, that would be a big deal even at our home and pool, but at someone else's house?! Holy crap. But it was all jokey and immediately okay??

Anyway, cooking was exhausting, but it was overall a fun time and my scratch apple pie was awesome. I just do not have the patience for swarms of little kids (my nieces on their own are usually fine), especially kids that don't listen!!

It was just my aunt (my mom's older sister), uncle, and Mom this year. My aunt insisted on buying an already cooked Thanksgiving meal and bring it over. Her reasoning was that it would be cheaper and no one would have to spend all day cooking. Mom and I have tried telling her that we don't mind cooking. Plus between sales, coupons, making stuff from scratch, and not preparing the traditional stuff that never gets eaten (like sweet potato casserole or a cheese ball dip or only buying one bottle of sparkling grape juice instead of three), it would have only been less than $30 for everything.

The food she got was very disappointing and expensive ($120 plus whatever she spent on two small pies and a mini cheesecake sampler from Walmart). The sides were in small trays- two containers would fit in a 9x13 in dish. The ham was very sweet, fatty, and tasted old. The white meat turkey tasted and smelled funny (after dinner my uncle called the restaurant to complain and they said other people were complaining; turns out the meat was a deli lunch meat chub they sliced and put in a pan with water. The green beans were from a can and just dumped into a pan (no seasonings or heating). The rolls were stale. The mashed potatoes were potato flakes and water, no butter, milk, or seasoning. The cranberry sauce was the jelly canned kind someone chopped up and put in a styrofoam container. The macaroni and cheese was overly cooked plain macaroni with cheddar cheese and what I hope was ricotta cheese just on top. The dressing was completely burned on the bottom. The yam soufflé was okay. I didn't try the dark meat turkey or potato salad.

I mean on one hand I should be thankful to even get food and on the other I think I might have gotten sick from the turkey (I was raised to eat everything you got OR ELSE...). It was just so awful though. My aunt refused to take any of the leftovers home, saying we needed the food more than she did (Mom didn't work for a few weeks after hurricane Matthew because it damaged the store she works at and it took a while to get everything fixed. She applied for disaster unemployment but still hasn't heard back. She was also in the hospital and just got out last week [emergency surgery, blockage in stomach]).

After they left, Mom added a can of cream of mushroom soup, crispy fried onions, shredded cheddar cheese, a little milk, spices, and chopped up the leftover breakfast sausage links and added it to the green beans.
