Well, this turkey day was a little different than the past few ones. You see, my mom has been pretty apathetic about holidays since I moved out (probably a common occurence in a one child house), so we've taken to going out on turkey day, usually to Shoney's for their Thankstaking buffet. For some strange reason, this year mom decided to cook and do the family thing again. She baked cookies, did the turkey, the whole nine yards. It was a little surrealistic, especially after several years on home-cooked meal hiatus. I'm feeling all tired from all the food I've eaten today, what with the snacks and the turkey I feel about a hundred pounds heavier. Thank dieties it only happens once a year!
My dad had an accident in bed again today, and my sweet Chambers cleaned him up and helped him to the table while I helped mom finish the mashed potatoes and set the table. Alzheimer's is a shitty thing, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. If any of you have loved ones, donate to Alzheimer's research, and keep up with the news about it. There are lots of crazy whacked out theories regarding its origins and risk factors, but at this point I'm willing to believe almost anything.
I must go now, one of my cats is trying to rehang our curtains using only his claws and a small toy mouse, so I must express my domination and displeasure in cat-speak. Have a happy Turkey day, and don't forget about all the taking we did on that first celebration years ago.
