Happy day before Thanksgiving all. Anyone have any good plans?

Iām making pumpkin pie cannoli. Typically I make just regular pumpkin pie but I usually go home with half of it, so this year Iām breaking out the big guns and no one will be able to resist the temptation.

Weāre doing duck for the second year in a row. Itās different and smaller than the usual turkey weāre stuck eating for 2 weeks. Iām pretty stoked.

YAH!! This is all I ever look forward to ever. Iām a very simple person, eating and sleeping will make me happy. Every time I get asked my weekend plans I proudly proclaim SLEEPING IN!!

Oh crap is that tomorrow?
I have all the fixinās for my meal ready. I live 1500 miles from my family now, my roommate is going off to an event with hers, and I will have the place to myself to make a lovely feast and sit in my room watching movies and playing games with ridiculous amounts of food.
I realize Iāve just described a lot of peopleās lonely nightmare scenario but I have been looking forward to this for the longest.

Iām basically pretending tomorrow is still a work day but doing handyman / cleanup stuff around the home before the wife gets back from Paris.
Not to say the place is currently a Nurglish palace of squalor but sheās been on me to use my tallness to hang a ceiling light, and itās been a few weeks since I busted out our raid boss tier carpet cleaner (we have three cats, so it needs it.)
Iām not really a holiday person except for Christmas so once her family wasnāt asking us to go anywhere I told mine I was staying in.

Yes, there is. I stole mine off Google but I can certainly go and post it there as if it were my own.

Plans? Yes. Good? Not really. Folks guilted me into going to my auntās Thanksgiving Dinner gathering. Since my grandma died a few years ago, sheās taken the mantle of family matriarch, and sheās honestly such a horrible person Iād rather not be within 30 yards of her if I can help it.
But I also like pie. So I will probably just take my switch and sink a few more hours into D3 after dinner and ignore that she exists until people are content with my presence.
I have four and a half glorious days off and am doing nothing but gaming. The majority of it probably wonāt be WoW. Iām having more and more trouble these days finding something in WoW to hold my interest TBH, I feel like this expac is dead.

Hey man, that sounds awful and Iām sorry youāre in that situation. Thanksgiving should be one of those holidays where you just hang out, eat food and be happy with the presence of those around you. I hope it isnāt as bad as you think it will be.

Itās not that bad, Iām just bellyaching. Thereās a history of abuse from my aunt towards our family - a lot of projecting and such. It doesnāt bother me deeply as it used to, mostly just irritates me. Hoping to find some good conversation with my other aunt and uncle though, who will also be there, I hope. xD
Thanksgiving is my 11 yr old nieceās birthday, who will now be 12 as of tomorrow. Sheās gotten better but she was having a hard time adjusting to not being the center of attention after her sister was born. So the last two birthdays she is very demanding of everyoneās attention and it can be exhausting.
Iām still kinda new to being around kids (brother joined the navy and then came back with a family) so itās been a crash course the last few years, like learning not to cuss around kids or drink or put on inappropriate shows.

Hopefully you all have fun for thanksgiving! My manager suggested I cook a Turkey for the Hotel I work at. I told the actual kitchen guy that if my manager presses, Iām going to laugh in his face. I aint cookinā no turkey. Iām front desk. I barely know how to make scrambled eggs. Thatās my limit and itās staying right there for now!
Otherwise, I successfully managed to avoid the family for the entirety of the early meal they had. I donāt especially like crowds, and I think theyāve all gotten the hint that I -really- hate being around more than one or two people for more than a few minutes.
