Hello. I had a nice thanksgiving I guess. I wasn’t really productive on Wednesday, I worked from home, but I finished up the enhanced notes documentation yesterday while I was working from home, so I think I’m getting better.

Anyway, we had Thanksgiving at my cousin’s new house! Normally Thanksgiving has always been at my house and we have my cousin’s family over (two adults three kids) so we have 11 people total, and lately we’ve been having my other grandma over also, so 12 people. So we have to get everything ready and get the house clean and then we have to entertain the children, and then we have to clean everything up, and then they stay over afterward and socialize for forever and I try and be sociable for as long as possible. But my brother usually just goes away at some point like he’s not even trying, like why does HE get to just walk off during the middle of the function?

Whatever. My cousin was hosting and we brought a couple things but not a lot. There was the seven of us from my compound, and then the hostess’ family, so that’s 12. And then there was the hostess’ sister, her two(?) kids. The host’s sister, her two (?) kids, the host’s other sister, and her husband (?) and their two kids. I think I’m missing a child. So far that’s 9 kids and 13 adults. But in her new house there is a finished basement (would be nice because my basement is not finished. The house is so old we have a coal room with coal dust all in it) so she had all the kids eat and play in the basement. It was amazing.

I don’t really care for turkey, but I had some dark meat. And someone had brought this chicken that had nice spices on it that was very good. The mashed potatoes were not really good. My mom says that she (the hostess) left it in too long. It was the hostess’ first time doing something like this so she wasn’t as efficient with preparing all the food and getting stuff ready, but it went fine. I only wish there were crescent rolls. I could demolish crescent rolls so bad. But there were other rolls.

I can’t remember what I did on Friday at all. I remember I took a nap and then woke up really late and then went and got pizza at 8pm. It snowed all of Saturday and then a little bit on Sunday, so Sunday morning my dad and brother cleaned up the driveways. I’ve got a pic of the snow from Sunday. I think I was watching some Joel Desert Bus VODs. I finished the butterfly patch that I just added to my Jacket page.

I finally actually started my period on Thursday after only having like spotting for forever. I accidentally bought pads without wings forever ago and I’m still reaping the consequences. Like, the wings don’t even do anything anyway, but without wings there’s no chance. Because they barely stick to my underwear as is. I can’t wear the tomboyx trunks because the pad won’t stay at all, and so I tried these awful meundies trunks that I got on clearance that are NOT made for fat people. They work a bit better, but I used to use actual panty style underwear that are maybe too small for me and they are the only things that keep the pad anywhere close to where it’s supposed to be. But since they are so old I’ve had to toss a couple pairs for being so nasty or the elastic busts out or whatever. But I found one last pair of the good ones after I’d gotten blood all over yet another pair of underwear.

It was real nasty yesterday. After I went to the bathroom at night, I somehow got a small clot on my foot? It fell down my pants? And I got it on the bed? I don’t know. All of today (Tuesday) it’s been heavy and gross again, more than yesterday. There was a nasty piece I saw today. I’m reminded of this Jolly video I think where they’re eating some kind of jam from somewhere and they have a clean shot of a bit of the jam on a spoon, and someone else beat me to commenting how it looked like a clot LOL. I gotta find this video.

I apoligize if that was too nasty for you but I don't think anybody else reads these so I guess it's okay. Sorry to future me I guess.
