The Post About Thanksgiving
As everyone knows, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I’m planning on going to my hometown to spend it with my family. This isn’t unusual. I’ve spent every Thanksgiving of my life with my family. It of course feels different though without Brian. I’m not sure why it feels so weird. Of the four Thanksgivings that we had during our relationship we only spent two together. We didn’t even spend Thanksgiving together last year. He had to work and so I went on my own. I kind of regret that now, wishing that I had stayed home and made the big meal for us. It’s easy to think of that now, but if I think really hard then I remember how he bitched and moaned last year about how he hates the traditional Thanksgiving and hates the turkey and all the food. He didn’t even want to me to bring leftovers or do an alternative one when his weekend rolled around. This makes me feel a little bit better.
Tonight we’re planning on getting together to have surf and turf. He told me that’s the kind of Thanksgiving he would like to have. He’s planning on going to his brother’s house tomorrow, where they are doing the traditional thing. This upsets him of course, so hopefully tonight will give him what he wants. I hope he spends the night tonight, so I can at least be with him for part of Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Thanksgiving isn’t even that important to me overall, which makes me fear Christmas. I heard some Christmas songs today and started to get sad. That was always our big holiday. I’ve heard that it’s always hard at the holidays. I’m not sure what we’re doing with our relationship and I wish I knew.
Anyway, it’s hard to think of stuff to be thankful for this year. Hands down, this year has sucked for me and the majority of people that I know. There have been so many untimely deaths, illnesses not overcome, relationship troubles, and accidents. I guess I am thankful that the rest of us are here and that we are surviving 2007 somehow. I’m always thankful for my family, my friends, and my cats. I’m thankful for my job and for my health (stupid “bound”).
