I decided to hang in this Thanksgiving. I don’t have any local family, but wasn’t short of invitations from friends to spend the holiday with them and theirs. I can’t thank these friends enough for the invitations, in spite of declining them all, it means a lot to know I have friends who care enough to make that kind of offer.
But spending Thanksgiving at my apartment didn’t mean I wasn’t going to have turkey! Boston Market had an all Thanksgiving menu today, and for $10 I was able to snag a very satisfying dinner, including a slice of pumpkin pie that I haven’t eaten yet. Mmmm pumpkin pie.
Yum! And I got to use the new table and chairs I bought from Ikea earlier this week.
Now just chilling on the couch with my kitties curled up next to me. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to spend this holiday with family, perhaps driving up to Rochester or New Hampshire, but this year I’m thankful for having a couple days off from work and the satisfaction of having everything I need for a warm comfortable holiday. Might start putting up Christmas decorations this weekend.

Nothing is low key, when you have a good Guinness. And on the other hand, sometimes it’s nice to just enjoy some time with just yourself.
