Happy Friday 馃帀
We bought me a tamagotchi last weekend. Within an hour it was annoying me – they’re super needy in the first day or two – reminding me that I couldn’t handle taking care of another living being. Yesterday, it evolved into what we’re calling the Spermagotchi.
It’s still miserable weather, due to what the local weather chick is calling a “stubborn coastal storm”. Whatever it is, it’s gray and icky, and today is windy and chillier than I’d like. In fact, I did the morning yoga in a sweater. We’re supposed to have periods of showers all day, and I’m hoping it holds off because I’m expecting a shipment of cat litter from Amazon today. I really,really don’t want to come home to a 40lb brick of Tidy Cat on my deck.
He got to talk to his mom last night. She was asking about court things. He told her “court is in November” and then changed the subject to food and Thanksgiving. I’m glad he talked to her, he doesn’t do it very much. I know it worries her when he doesn’t reach out. Honestly, I should reach out to her more often, but I still harbor some anger over some things we said in the aftermath of his arrest and release. Plus, if I can reach out to her, it only highlights how infrequently I reach out to my own Mom, which is mostly because there’s always the thought that she’s going all what’s happening with “us”, and I’m not prepared to answer that question. Hell, I can’t even give myself an answer to that question.
There’s a lot of cooking getting done this weekend. Sunday we’re making Thanksgiving dinner (Canadian Thanksgiving, AKA “first Thanksgiving”). Thanksgiving means I get to make a shitload of cornbread and sausage stuffing, and a small pan of sweet potatoes that I don’t need to share. Neither of us wants to even contemplate whether or not he’ll be here for “second Thanksgiving” in November, so we’re making this one count. Regardless if he’s here or not in November, I’m dreading second Thanksgiving. I can’t handle family.
We also plan on baking a couple of batches of cinnamon rolls to bring to work. There’s going to be one batch of apple pie rolls, and another batch of pumpkin pie rolls. Plus, he mentioned possibly wanting to make some rolls to go with Sunday’s dinner. Expect a bunch of mouthwatering pics to come, of course 馃
Anyway, happy Friday. Maybe things will brighten up. 馃尀
