missed it in 2015

Well, I wasted the day.

I don’t even really feel bad about it either. =)

And it’s now after 7 o’clock and I helped unload the car, attempted to cover my poor little chile pepper plants from the frost, and assisted in making a couple apple pies. So I feel pretty accomplished after all!

I’m really digging this new Old Dominion. They finally released their full length album. I’d already listened to all the songs on their EP and they’re kind of on a roll. Who knew?

We have finally decided to just stay around town for Thanksgiving. I don’t think we’ve been at home for the holiday in the last couple years. We’ve been spending it at the casino. :-) But this year our friends basically said, “If you’re coming, there’s going to be a turkey; if you’re not, then there’s not.” So that kind of put us in a place to where we couldn’t deny them our delicious turkey. [And by “our” I clearly mean my mother’s] hah.

Actually the celebration will be held about an hour away at a friend’s house, but still. It’s with people we mostly like. ;) There should be plenty of food. Plenty of drinks. And plenty of laughs. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a good time.

My neighbor’s family will be in town for Thanksgiving. a.k.a M/J and the kids. They recently sent us school pictures with a note that said they’d be around for the holiday. That’s pretty exciting. We haven’t seen them in a while and I’m sure the kids are getting so big. I mean they look like little grown-ups in their pictures, so it’ll be fun to catch up and see them.

But you have to know that my mind wanders over to Ck and wondering if he’s going to be in town. He used to spend a lot of the holidays with the neighbors [despite having a bunch of family only an hour away] and so I’m super curious to know.

I mean, I’m trying really hard not to think about any of this, but I’m failing miserably. I don’t even know if he’s back in town yet. I still haven’t had any contact.

Despite constantly telling my mind to quit bringing up the thoughts, I ended up having a dream about him this morning. [Darn you subconscious!]
Somehow I was hanging with the neighbors at their house and then suddenly they were in my house. I caught a glimpse out the window of a blue truck backing into the drive and I faked a sneezing attack [uhh? IDK] and went to the bathroom. Where of course I started primping and trying to look decent enough to run into him.

Except, I woke up right after I had finally walked out of the bathroom and before we’d had any sort of meeting. [Double darn you subconscious!]

I am, actually, doing much better about the whole thing. Not having nearly as many thoughts about him as I was even a month ago. So that’s good. It helps that there hasn’t been any contact, but it certainly does not help that he has that stupid rare red hair and therefore every red-haired man reminds me of him [Why do they all have those amazing beards!?!] And suddenly I’ve grown an affinity for dodge trucks? Eww. Something’s gotta be wrong with me.

Anyway, I’m going to continue to try my best to ignore that subject…

Can you tell I’m being really random with the subjects today. I’m not sure what all to write and holy cow! I just barely remembered about NoJoMo and the fact that it’s already November 11th! Damn! Why has no one mentioned this around here? Is it not a thing now that OD is gone? I was hoping to try it again this year so as to up my number count of entries, but I completely forgot about it. Or I just forgot the fact that it’s already November! So many things going on.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it the rest of the month. Maybe I’ll just try to get that number of entries even if I don’t write one every day. We’ll see how it goes.

rose.
