An unusually busy unholidayish Thanksgiving.

I've been busy all day long. Phoning, leaving voicemails, dictating text messages, composing individual emails - to Danny (who loved my dream), to someone I haven't seen or heard from at blind group for months (I'm worried about her), as well as a generic FB post and something personal to the distribution list of the blind group (ro which I've received lots of replies). My last email was to thank the admin of my meals supplier, thanking her and the generous dedicated people who work with her.

It's no wonder I'm exhausted now. I briefly compared today to past holidays, from hosting dinners at church for all of us orphans, to just attending, especially early this decade when I was already weaker. All that work. All that food. It seems overwhelming now. I didn't even feel like making my scalloped potatoes, despite the fact I found a conversion recipe so I could use my microwave instead of an oven. Just as well. I had soup really late and now I'm feeling pain - it seems to be building up, gathering strength,m but I'm trying to last the few minutes until midnight strikes. ::clenches fists::

Watched lots of TV when I wasn't at the computer. Going to stay up to watch the evening news - for better or worse. Nighty-night, all.
