Changes, ugh
Well, here comes another Thanksgiving. Historically my favorite holiday. I love what it represents, being thankful for what is, the gathering of family/friends or welcome strangers. The food, yup, very traditional around my table; turkey, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, some sort of vegetable, yeast rolls. THERE SHALL NEVER BE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE, unless of course a homemade version ups the ante. This *might* be considered.
Pies, never cake, pumpkin, pecan praline and/or my grandmother's chocolate pie.
And done.
I've been to the grocery store recently and picked up a 12 lb bird. Got across the store, then tearfully put it back. I'm not cooking this year. No family is coming. Its the mister and I and we're going out this year. It feels weird and a bit sad.
I think I've had this nostalgic notion for most of my adult life regarding Thanksgiving. A gathering in my mind that has never happened in reality.
Also, we are obviously aging. It seems a bit more rapid now. We have both had health issues, but he...he now walks with a cane and is having kidney issues. He has had an ultrasound, a CT w contrast and now they want another CT WITHOUT contrast. Clearly they are evaluating something.
Oh, and Trump is the president elect. Wtf.
Seems like the world is crumbling and all I can do is watch it happen.
Oy.
However I do wish my LJ people a blessed Thanksgiving surrounded by people you love. This holiday means nothing without them ❤️
