First, you all need to go look at this, ganked from perspicuity. These are a few results of a custom story tapestry generator, and some of these are just brilliant. "Sir Anderson! Welcome back. We missed ye."

Today is Sweetmorn, day 39 in the season of The Aftermath, 3269.

Good idea: cooking a turkey breast, gravy, mashed potatoes, whipped sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and stuffing with sausage and chipotle peppers for dinner.

Bad idea: doing any part of the above while working your way through 3/4 of a bottle of wine (so far). Hee! (Better run this through spell check before I post.)

I am thankful for a lot of things in my life right now: I have a job (that in and of itself is something to be thankful for these days) that challenges me and has a casual office environment where I can mostly be myself; that I have so many people in my life who care about me and that I care about in return; that there are people who have touched my life and although our relationships may have changed in various respects (or ended altogether), they've left me the better for it (that includes you too, Nicola and Steve); for you all, who never fail to entertain me or send me words of encouragement when I need them or make me think, and for my non-LJ-using friends; for my sister and brother and their kids (my mom always told me that after she was gone I'd be glad I had a brother and sister, and once again she was right - not that I'd ever admit that to her ;) ) ; that at least for now I have my health; that in the grand scheme of things I'm pretty well-off and I haven't had to worry about where dinner would come from in many years.
