We will, unfortunately, be dining with my family, which means that dinner will be the equivalent of a game of chess. Thankfully, I'll have my lover with me.

alone because it takes too long to get home or just the holiday.

I'm going to be alone for most of the day, it seems. I will be visiting my family later today and I got invited to my friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm so thankful to have these people in my life. Each year seems to be getting better than the last.

Just my husband and I, which we prefer.
