Re-boot: From Last Thanksgiving (2009)
November 30, 2010
Well, here we are, our first major holiday separated from each other. Had a nice get-together at my cousins, watched the game. My mom asked me how I felt, this being the first holiday being alone and not together, and, to be honest, I hadn’t even thought about it until she mentioned it. I guess I had been alone for such a long time, or at least living like I was alone for such a long time even when we were together that it didn’t impact me at all. Honestly, it was like I was baby sitting for those three years. I was living with somebody that was so grossly irresponsible that I was, in every sense of the word, going at it alone.
I hope you had a happy thanksgiving, M, and are happy with the mess you have created.
Things were a little different this year. For one I introduced my girlfriend to my family, and second I celebrated Thanksgiving in my own home. But for the most part things were the same, i.e. I’m still happy to be rib of the nightmare that was my former life and wife.
