Today I am thankful for my family and friends--the ones I met via electrons on a screen and the ones I know in physical space. I'm thankful for all the food we've had, and for being able to come home for the holiday and see everyone. I am thankful for the awesome place I live, and for my cats, and for all the interesting things in this world.

(I'm not unaware of the horribly problematic mythology of this holiday, but leaving that aside, I think having a day to be grateful for the people and things in our lives is a pretty rad idea.)
In other news, I'm still at 45K for NaNo and still don't have the impulse to work on it (I'll get there eventually), and I have realized that I definitely and for sure need to change my birth control because this one is giving me really horrific anxiety attacks--yesterday I had one for six hours, low-grade panic for another six, and then serious again for another 3 hours. It was not good, and they've been getting worse. (I probably also should get some generalized anxiety meds and possibly see about this seasonal-affectiveness I seem to be having, but we'll start with getting rid of the med that is demonstrably making me crazy. I'll go back to my old one.)
Okay. Going to go see if I can't get some words happening here.
