Good day....

I had a nice Thanksgiving. I spent the day cooking and only had to feed six people at the table, and Dylan after he worked. I didn't kill myself, but I did find something truly irritating...too many people in the kitchen. I just about chewed a couple of heads off because they kept getting in the way...one being my mother and one being my brother. They finally took a hint when I said, "If people don't get out of my fucking kitchen I am going to kill someone." As subtle as that was, a couple of them left. After dinner, Dylan made it over and he received his leftovers, which he seemed to enjoy. Then we all sat around and had pie. I was such a good kid yesterday and stuck pretty much to the diet.

As for today, I was going to get up and go shopping but I was too damn tired! I only left the house to go to dinner with Dylan, and here I am back at my house at 6:10 pm typing on the computer. Unfortunately, I came home to a house full of company, so I am hiding in my den.

I have to say that I am worried about my father. He has been sick for about 3 weeks now. The coughing and the runny nose have stopped, but now he has an upset stomache and absolutely no energy. Yesterday, he went and took a nap.......for 2 hours. Today, he had gone in for another nap and I don't know how long it was. I am thinking that his not feeling well is all physical....I think my dad is in a "depression" which I am not use to with my father. The last time I saw him depressed is when his brother passed away, which was about 5 years ago(hell, that seems sooooo long ago). I think his age has caught up with him abruptly. And I don't think it helps that he and my mother have been fighting since September. Ah, the joys of being the youngest.

Well, it looks to be that tomorrow is the start of my Christmas Shopping. I am going to buy wayyyyy toooooo much again this year, like I always do, but I will enjoy it. I have decided that I am going to decorate my house until there is nothing left untouched. I want it to be festive, festive, FESTIVE! I am pushing the "joy of the season" upon everybody in this abode until they LOVE CHRISTMAS. It is also an attempt to get me in the spirit.

Looking forward to tomorrow..........
