HOLIDAY
I am a grateful person. I exude gratitude.
But I am not much for celebrating my gratitude with a holiday.
I am more into the day at a time gratitude.
So, Thanksgiving is a bit vexing.
No mail. And, for the first time in its history, no Gold's gym. They used to be open 24/7 except Christmas and New Years.
What next? Closing on Veteran's Day?
We celebrate the day minimally.
I have turkey breast from the one I roasted a few weeks ago.
I made cranberry sauce from scratch.
And I was going to make pumpkin pie but my oven has developed a stammer. Undependable.
The guy is coming Tuesday to diagnose the problem. 85 dollars for the checkup. Then we go to the cost of the actual repairs.
I was going to buy a pie but I arrived at one store as its power went out and another as it ran out of pies. It is Thanksgiving day after all.
John will try one more place and if that doesn't work, fuck it.
We will be even less traditional this year and I will be able to have another serving of turkey dressing (out of a box).
