Oh, Historiann, I’m so sorry to hear about Mouse! I hope he went serenely.
On my list? I’m grateful for:
~My kitties — one of whom resembles Mouse.

Thanks, Squadrato. Mousie was a good little kitty. He died when I was in Michigan this summer–I had a feeling he might not last the week when I left. It was sad, but he was worn out by kidney failure, which seems to be pretty common esp. among male cats.
I hope you’re still enjoying Trannie Diva! (I want to hear more about the changes in your life!)

Can you even get a turkey where you are at this time of the year? (I suppose they’re laying in supplies for Christmas over there?)
A Canadian friend of mine here in the west is always enormously frustrated when she looks for turkeys in October to celebrate Canadian thanksgiving instead of the U.S. American version.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

There was a Turkey, yes. I’m vegan though so my preference would have been to have made its acquaintance a few weeks earlier, when I could have helped it to escape. I made a roast out of wheat gluten with bread dressing inside, which was quite popular. Something we talked about last night was the relative tolerance for innovation among traditional holiday meals. Thanksgiving seems relatively high on the inviolability scale.
People are indeed laying in supplies for Christmas, and have been for some time. With no Thanksgiving to interfere, it can begin quite early.

– Historiann and Madeline
– Great staff and colleagues who make work worth going to even when I would prefer not to
– A turkey that, despite some slapstick, panic attacks, and mild burns involving the smoker, turned out pretty darn well.
– Brilliant western skies
– Mouse, despite our at times contentious relationship
– The remaining cat who has become a reliable tv watching companion in her dotage.
-Family that I enjoy seeing and hanging out with.
-The proximity of many square miles that I can disappear into when the mood suits me.
