Hump Day Thanksgiving Eve

Pretty uneventful over all, save for the snow.

The "Big Storm" that was predicted didn't arrive til late in the afternoon today.

The storm that kept me from driving to Mpls to see Grinderman.

So lame.

I really wished I would have gone.

I've wanted to see Nick Cave for years.

The one chance, is thwarted by weather warnings.

Warnings that never came to fruition until I'd have been long back home.

Guess I'll have to travel to another location to see them one day.

Perhaps in Australia.

That'd be choice.

Before going to bed I made my kids a little cake - belated birthday cake.

The three of us are not really pumpkin pie fans - and they'll like this much better.

Nothing fancy, just white cake, and I picked up some ice cream too.

They'll be surprised.

My house smells good.

I chopped up all the stuff for dressing tomorrow too, and prepped a few more things as well.

Go me!

I also received a text from Reñan wishing me a happy holiday and to drive safe if I was heading to the cities - unexpected and very nice. I wasn't and sent him back an invite in case he is going to be alone tomorrow. He declined saying he's heading to the cities. So I told him to drive safe, have fun and take care. I worry when the weather is shit driving and about him being alone during the holidays as it's hard those first years alone - actually, it's hard any year your alone for any holiday or birthday.

Later, I unexpectedly ran into him at the grocery store - surprise!

(I was for sure, as he was still in town, and had company. Ah well.)

Anyway, I sometimes think I should have gatherings here for people who have no where to go - as I am often in that boat as well, and wouldn't mind the company. Sometimes though, it is nice to be alone for a day and do whatever you want, but parts of those big days, would be nice to share with someone. I read in many blogs where people lament being alone. I feel for them. It's harder for some than others.

I hope Kevin is going to have a good day, hopefully with his sister Kim looking after him as far as having a meal together - perhaps they'll make a day of it, that or get some relaxing in - not sure of his plans - but I wish him and Kim the best for the day.

Gnite.

¡Abrazos!
