Thanksgiving (Part the First)
I am cooked out.
Spent 95% of the day in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning. Got maybe two sentences in on the speech I have due on Wednesday (god, I hate self-promoting speeches), but cooked a shitload of stuff, including but not limited to Pumpkin Bundt Cake (think that's what it's called - it was pretty good) and fruit salad for 20+ people.
Then I did all the dinner dishes in order to escapethe eternal agony of socializing with the relatives. Didn't really work, as Uncle F presisted in lurking in the kitchen and being a jackass to dad. Why can that man not take a hint?
Anyway, everything was slightly subdued by the fact that grandma's in the hospital. Also, earlier today, dad was in an accident whilst biking, but it wasn't major, so that's good. And last year, Aunty N got killed by a dump truck >.< IDK, this family and Thanksgiving, there's clearly a theme here.
...our house still smells like turkey.
