I am trying to psyche myself up for Thanksgiving. [View all]
First, I have to drive 2 to 4 hours depending on traffic to my sister's home on Long Island. Then we move to her sister-in-law's house.
Then, I really don't want to talk to anybody. I can't drink because of the trials and challenges of driving home, again 2 to 4 hours.
I'd rather make a chicken with sides and stay at home, likely online.
Not to mention, Thanksgiving gives me PTSD from past Thanksgivings when our parents were alive.
I'm hoping that it rains hard, so I have a plausible excuse to stay here and hang with you.
