Oct. 26th, 2004 01:38 pmDid horses this morning. Mezcal and I reviewed feet, which still need some work. I think part of her problem is attention span -- that'll improve with practice, which we will pursue until things work properly. Nick and I took a walk and played in traffic. We went past Dottie's to the start of the fence at Barkman's. I really need to be getting more exercise (stood on a scale the other day, which was depressing as hell) so I think we'll start trucking to the covered bridge and back every day. Might be the exposure will help her and I can use the exercise even if she doesn't get any damn better with traffic.
I have got to come up with something to do for Thanksgiving. DL invited me but I'm mad at her boy over the woodpile and I don't think I can be nice for all of Thanksgiving. I shouldn't go to her house if I can't be nice. Thanksgiving is not supposed to be about sniping.
As for my other family, Dad will be in Mexico. Mom doesn't really do family-sized Thanksgivings anymore. Roy's MIL is doing a Thanksgiving and I have an invite to that. Non-family options ... Aisha has invited me to her house. La's people would invite me to tag along if they thought I needed somewhere to be.
The real problem here is that I don't really want to go anywhere for Thanksgiving. It is not my idea of fun to sandwich being *nice* between two fairly lengthy, traffic-laden drives to and from somewhere else. What the fuck sort of holiday is Thanksgiving anyway? One day off work isn't very damn festive, if you ask me. And Thursday? Whose idea was that? Lame, lame, lame. Monday or Friday would be proper. Thursday is just a tease. I think I'll stay the hell home and make me a pumpkin (gooseneck squash) pie.
