Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This morning I happen to wake up with a terrible earache which turned out to be an ear infection. So I spent part of my Thanksgiving day going to Urgent Care to get it checked out. Good thing I went right away because ear infections don't get better with time. My ear feels a little bit better tonight.

Other than that I spent a nice Thanksgiving dinner with my family. My pumpkin pies that I made were good but I now know how to make them better for next year.

The drawbacks of the holidays

As Thanksgiving approaches I am reminded of all the good things I have in my life while I am also reminded of what seems to be lacking. One of the hardest things right now is the fact that I wont be able to celebrate the holidays with my one great love, Derrick. This is the fourth Thanksgiving that we have had since we started dating and this will be the fourth Thanksgiving that we wont be celebrating together. It is difficult to be both sad and happy right now. I am sad that we can't celebrate it together but I am also happy that my brother is here for the holiday. This might be the last time the whole family will be together before Eric deploys. It is bittersweet which I think is the same for most holidays for most people.

Eric comes home tomorrow

I am looking forward to seeing my little brother tomorrow. He'll be home by this time tomorrow night which is totally cool. I haven't seen him since August and I know that he is totally excited to get the hell out of Texas.

Tomorrow we got stuff to do before he arrives. I am excited about Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday and I am really looking forward to it. What I am not looking forward to is the fact that Derrick wont be there to celebrate the holiday with me. Very typical for us and in our relationship.

The holidays are always difficult for people and it is even harder when you can't not be with the people you love during them. This Thanksgiving will be special since Eric hasn't been home since July.

On another sad note. I recorded Numb3rs tonight and it didn't record the whole of it so I have no idea how it ends. Sucky!!!

First post.

Well this is my my first first posting on here. I doubt that anyone will look at it. I just came home from a long day of school and dealing with getting my car and my parents car into and out of the shop. It was annoying because the last people I want to are mechanics. I look like I'm 16 so that is what I am treated like so it gets old really really really fast.

I am looking forward to this weekend though because my brother is coming home on Saturday. I have to deal with more car stuff tomorrow and writing a paper. Also I need to do some housework before he comes. I miss Eric, my brother, a lot since I haven't seen him since August and it was weird then due to the fact that it was right after my grandmother passed away. Can't wait for Thanksgiving especially since it is my favorite holiday of the year!!!
