I am totally sated. K did a great T-Day dinner. And, OMG, the kids are so grown. Great company, as always.
I like the ruffles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I am officially half way through with the chemo part of the treatments.
Hooray! Hump day!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy birthday to K!
I didn't have time to brine the turkey this year but I did stuff under the skin with some sage, thyme and butter and basted with some chicken broth. I cooked it breast side down until the last hour and it turned out evenly crisp on the outside and moist and tender on the inside.
Leftovers are being nommed as I type and I've had three pieces of pie.

My pie turned out awesomely. I may have to remember that mix of apples for next year (3 granny smith, 2 honeycrisp, 2 red delicious). Cake was okay. Tasted good, wierd texture. Might be my oven, tho.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Am almost too full. Kristen brought home some lattes and I'm sipping one. Oliver is snoozing on a blanket in the bathroom, I gave him a bit of turkey with his supper.
He wanted OUT today, so I let him go with a sigh, and as soon as it started getting dark, he was back on my doorstep looking for food and his blanket. He drank a ton of water, ate his supper, and passed out, cold. So tomorrow I call the vet and take him in for a checkup. I'm a little bit nervous about this.

You gave him an awesome thanksgiving, Allyson.
Am full. Ooof. Too much good food.

Halfway point! Big yay!
The dog got scraps of ham left from cutting the ham, and the cats got the bits of turkey left from carving it, and boy, am I popular tonight.
I am suffused with warm family feelings and even though I haven't ever really decorated for Xmas (single, not religous), I think I will put a bit more effort into it this year than last. We have a tiny tabletop tree, which I am FINE with, but I think I will get some more holiday-y stuff and decorate.
I have such fond memories of Xmas from when I was a kid, (though M is Jewish, and D and I are religion-free) we have the holiday and we are having a New Year's Party, and damn, I want to make some family traditions all of a sudden.

I got three poinsettas from my mom, since she is going on a cruise next week. The big one is going outside of my door, one is going to my office, and I'll just toss the other one on my table, I suppose. It's a green one, so I'm not as enthused.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Halfway point! Big yay!
Thanks all! There's a lot more to go after the chemo, of course but it's great to feel like it's moving along.

Happy birthday, K!
And ugh, Perkins, I wish the treatments weren't such a long slog. I so want to see you next time I'm in the Bay Area, probably over the holiday break.
