Day 86. The day before Thanksgiving. Today is the day of preparation. Yesterday I had no plans for Thanksgiving. I was going to relax before my parents came to visit. Maybe get some work done. Maybe clean the house.
Then my friend J texted me to see what I was doing. I said maybe going to a restaurant, maybe volunteering. He said fine sign me up. I spent about an hour trying to find a vegan restaurant that was open and had space. No luck. I was just about to give up and my friend C called and I asked her what she was doing. She said nothing. I said why don't you both come over. One thing, you have to bring your own food. I can't cook because my parents are coming. They both said fine. C started trying to find one of those "whole turkey dinner in a box" type things from the supermarket. Unfortunately they were all sold out. They finally settled on a platter of turkey and mashed potatoes. I said I would make stuffing, broccoli and roasted root veggies. I bought a vegan pecan pie. Dinner was made. Some call it Orphan Thanksgiving. Others call it Friendsgiving.
Then I got a phone call from another friend T asking me if I had plans for Thanksgiving. I was so grateful that he would think of me and invite me for the day. It was so sweet of him.
Until tomorrow...
