Thankfully done

Well my first Thanksgiving doing all the ‘stuff’ myself. Not too bad. Then again I didn’t do the entire dinner thing from scratch. Hell no. I don’t know the first thing about cooking turkey. Actually I wasn’t really feelin all that domestic. Hell I just know the basics. And doing things from scratch? Uh, I like things as low maintenance as possible lol. So I bought a turkey breast, smoked, that was fully cooked, just needed heating. Not too bad, although I was a little worried since it wasn’t all white and dry like turkeys past. Then again, it was a smoked turkey. No one had the shits or any vomiting so that was a plus haha! I did make green been casserole which I love, but it somehow seemed too watery. Maybe it was the dish I used, which wasn’t a typical square casserole dish since I don’t have one. I didn’t have much to work with, but that’s ok. I am learning to work with what I have. Bad enough I spent a few hundred dollars to get stuff for my move-in. I’m about tapped out on once credit card and I’m having a cow over that, but that’s a worry for another year. I’m so tired of worrying over my finances. Anyhoo, I bought mashed taters already, I wasn’t peelin and mashin thankyouverymuch. I bought the dough made for choco chip cookies too. My oven is very small, and since I bought a cookie sheet that doesn’t fit (need to take that back but not TODAY), I could only work with the space I had. So it turned out alright if I can say so. My sister and niece were over. And I hated to kick them out but they’ve stayed over the past few nights. I like having my space. Especially since she doesn’t get up til late and then half the day is wasted. I know she’s depressed etc. but she’s not doing anything to help her situation. But I wont’ go there.

It’s funny when I look at my apartment, I’m like “what do I do with it now?” granted I don’t have much money to spend, but I want to try to make my place nicer. I will rearrange some of the furniture. It’s funny what you realize you ‘need’ when you get a new place. I only have one lamp so I’ve been moving it from the living room to the bedroom as needed haha. I did buy some oil lamps but they won’t light up the place I’m guessin. Ooooooooooh in a past post I remember bitching about throwing away my cool knee-high brown boots! Well I FOUND them!! I’m such a dork sometimes. I must have packed one pair away thinking I wouldn’t need them until I got here. Well here I thought I tossed them. I’m so glad I didn’t, I love these boots.

I'm glad my sister and niece were here to spend the holiday with regardless of the issues. I realize I have my own I need to work out. I hate being alone in this but it's only me who can do it. I am thankful for my family even though I can't get all I wanted from them; they are who they are. I'm thankful for the very few but close friends I have. I wouldn't have developed into who I am and had the experiences I had without them. They are so supportive, I just wish I was half as supportive. I love you all......
