I'm spending Thanksgiving alone (well, the two cats are here) and will be making a turkey breast, dressing that closely approximates my mom's recipe, and corn on the cob for dinner. I had an invitation to see friends in California (with whom I've spent Thanksgiving for years) but I just could not bring myself to drive 375 miles each way. Last year I did and I was exhausted the entire weekend. Plus, i will be traveling to Florida for Christmas.
Honestly, I am glad to have some "alone" time. Work tends to be a non-stop exercise in overstimulation and I need time off. Today I walked 5.5 miles and tomorrow I will do the same and take a bike ride, assuming we don't get rain.
