altivoBeing at work is easier. As usual, I find we are making the entire holiday dinner for a dozen people and carting it into Chicago. I'm so tired now I'm cross-eyed, and once again I'm thankful that the little family I have left is so small and scattered. These overbearing guilt obligations are just too much to have to deal with. At this point, I'd settle for hot dogs tomorrow.
At least after tomorrow is done it should be pretty clear sailing until Thursday when I depart for FCN. There are things to be done, of course, but where to draw the lines is my own decision and I can drop any of them if necessary.
Gary, of course, has been having a double hell week between all the church choir obligations and trying to get his final project for school done before the end of the month. Then, on top of that, it's his family that incurs all this food responsibility. It's a "tradition" I think I could do without, and it strikes four times a year: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and Easter. At last we're done with it until November once we get through tomorrow.
Interesting to note that deaths in his family always seem to cluster right around those holidays, too. The stress and guilt is too much to deal with, I think.
