River: Thanksgiving eve

[mdlbear]

Weird Thanksgiving this year. (Not the first time, though; we've had quite a few weird ones, including the one where I drove down to LOSCON with the kids while Colleen was in the hospital.)

Not much has happened today. We cooked our turkey yesterday, because there wasn't room for it in the freezer and we didn't want to let it sit in the fridge too long after it had thawed. There were plenty of leftovers, and there are still enough for tomorrow. Which is what happens when you have a 12-pound bird for three people. Not complaining.

I seem to be less stressed today than I have been for the last few weeks. Possibly because I've been staying away from the news? I'm sure there's still plenty going on to stress about.

One of my UK peeps mentioned the other day that we've imported Black Friday (the celebration of consumption of stuff we probably don't need) but not Thanksgiving (the celebration of gratitude for what we've already got). Which is a damn shame because Black Friday has become Black November, while Thanksgiving is still just one day.

Yay, less stress!
