Boo, Tom. That stinks.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sucks, Tom.
How's Boston? How's your new place?
So good! Good luck to you!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, I'm so glad Grace was home for Thanksgiving!!
I'm here at my in-laws. DH just walked my brother back to the Metro and as soon as I'm done on the internets I think I shall go to sleep. Food. COMA.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Might I suggest my sister's livingroom for next year's F2F?
I've never missed one and I'd really hate to... but I'm never ever leaving this couch again.

My cats seem to hear something in the basement ceiling. They are going beserk. I can't hear anything.

Yay for Gracie's first Thanksgiving!
I went to my brother's and got plenty of face time with my 19 month-old great niece and my 5 week old great niece! But, my niece, the mother of the 19 month old, is so very, very pregnant with a son that she looks ready to pop any minute and miserable waiting for it to happen.
I made my first pumpkin pie, with a gluten-free crust and gluten-free stuffing. But they both were a little bit off: the stuffing was over-done and the pie crust was under-done.

Home from Thanksgiving dinner with a friend. We had a great time.
CJ was asked if he was a high school sophomore. He is in 7th grade and shares some classes with one of the boys. He is only 6 months older than L but is a good 3 inches taller and his voice is so deep.

Who isn't comatose after TG dinner & day? Oof. Good day, good company.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't get to a place with Thanksgiving until I was 18, pretty much (it's not like my parents celebrated it when we were little in Canada--they never would) so it's always been an adult friend holiday for me. Even the few times I celebrated with extended family it had much less impact. T-Day is for friends, for me. Christmas is for family. Both are stripped of much of their tradition save the company and the food, but those are powerful components right there.

I've made it for friends, cause otherwise I'd have no other holiday that matters to me that didn't involve me being a daughter in some form or another, and that can have baggage, even if god baggage. Plus friends!
