My heart goes out to you and your family Anansi. I'm sure you'll have plenty people around you the next few days, but if you need someone to talk to, you can hit me up. I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital a few years ago for a family member, eventually making the decision to pull the plug. It's rough.
Ferrets are awesome. They're the kind of pet you want in multiples; if you have just one you miss out on so much cuteness. At one point I had four.
Fact: Just worked ten days straight. Days eight and nine saw me with a cold, and nine saw me exhausted. Today, my day off, was spent sleeping, cooking, eating, sleeping, eating again, and now chilling. I enjoy cooking/baking, so that was a perfect combination right there. I is relaxed.
Fact: Black Friday disappoints me when it comes to my fellow man. I get heading out after dinner to wait three or four hours for midnight openings. I understand that from both the perspective of the business and the consumer. But I have a friend who got in line at the local Best Buy at 3am Thanksgiving morning, waited 22 hours for a TV, and pretty much just ignored the existence of the holiday.
Fact: I did my Black Friday shopping online, with my feet up and without wearing pants. Helllooo PS3~
Fact: Time to catch up on a few roleplays, then finally make use of the Xbox I bought myself two weeks ago.
