    I wish I didn’t need to go to the grocery store to buy the Thanksgiving dressing ingredients but I am so thankful that’s all I have to cook!
    After multiple decades of cooking the entire meal myself I am so relieved to pass the chore to my daughter in law.

    I’m doing bbq this year - no one really likes turkey - so I’ll do a brisket - ham - ribs - and bbq sides - baked beans - Mac cheese - potato salad - but will of course keep tradition with all the pie and what not

    I miss how people used to stop by my grandmother’s house for a chat. Her brother. Her in-laws. A neighbor from a few blocks over. Someone from church.

    Maybe they’d bring a cake. She’d put on a pot of coffee. Sometimes there was a reason. Sometimes they were in the neighborhood after grocery shopping or running errands. They’d stay for an hour & share news.

    My life is not set up this way. I would probably hate it, but is a golden memory.

    My grandma did similar with her friends - my mom still did while she was working - I never stop by to just say hi to anyone- I think this is another outcome of social media - we see what everyone is doing anyway - and maybe too much of what they are doing - idk

    Can I come down there and eat with you?
    Sounds delicious, I’m not a fan of turkey.

    If somebody asked me what kind of tree I would want to be if I could be a tree I might be able to answer that. But if somebody asked me what kind of tree I would be if I were a tree, I don’t know how to answer that. I don’t think the universe has provided me those answers. How am I supposed to know what the universe would do given a different set of circumstances?

    My job was trying to assess how much money to give me because I don’t take the health insurance through my organization and they asked me but if you did, what kind would you take and I’m not really sure how to answer that. I mean I know I’m over thinking and my coworkers told me what to put down but my entire life would have to be different for me to take health insurance through my company.

    I know I know. Nobody else thinks like this and even if they do they probably express it better.

    You should write a book and do stand-up comedy.

    Not joking.

    When they send a mildly risky message and then delete it before I open it but really, I already read most of it in the preview 😃

    Yes😂

    Though I tend towards the inappropriate, so I make a point of extending a lot of grace 😁

    Feels like it. Plus, my abs are so sore from the workout that I can’t cough properly.
