NJM9: Updates on Various in These Foolish Things

Watching the Bachelorette while I tap out an Update on Various. Don’t judge. I’m multitasking!

The Treehouse: Looks like I will be hosting Thanksgiving at the Treehouse this year! I’m excited about that! There will be six of us at our little gathering - the perfect amount because my dining table seats six! Oh, and two dogs, Martini and George. We will also be celebrating Thanksgiving on Friday instead of Thursday, and that’s fine with me as well. My SIL has to work on Thanksgiving, so we are working around her schedule, even though nobody seems to know exactly what her schedule is. Again, fine. I’m not concerned. I ordered a turkey with all of the fixins from the fancy grocery and I will pick up the feast on Thursday and everybody can come over when they feel like it. I will be eating by noon on Friday even if nobody is there yet! Ha.

The Hot Italian: He truly speaka no English. Yet he is messaging me on IG several times a day with emojis and little Italian phrases. He has no idea what I’m saying, so I have resorted to throwing my messages in Google translator before I send them out. I’m waiting for a reply. I don’t know for sure that he’s coming with Giorgio or not. I hope his next message will let me know.

The Car Wash Guy: I know he’s traveling this week to see his son who plays hockey in Minnesota. I’m sure he’s super focused on his kid. It’s just fun to think that I might be getting a little mojo back. I’d really like for that to be the case, regardless of whether or not I see either one of these guys.

(Ha. This is what happens when you watch a dating show while writing an entry!)

The Work Front: Meh. Don’t want to talk about it.

Cancer Update: Not much to say right now, thankfully. I have doc appointments at the beginning and middle of January and that’s when I want to talk about having my port removed. It sill bugs me both mentially and physically (I hate wearing bras and have only worn a bra on two occasions since I had the port installed into my chest). But the thing is, I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing except for living my life as fully and as healthfully as I possibly can.

Thanksgiving Update: So yeah, in the span of time between starting this entry and now, I have more information about Thanksgiving. First of all, my mom and dad are really upset because my bro and SIL are broke. As in, can’t pay for groceries broke. Of course, it’s super concerning to my parents and it made them agitated. They were yelling at each other while on the phone with me. I hate seeing them like this. And I’m so angry with my brother because he’s still a child. I don’t think he knows how to take care of a family. And my poor SIL. She’s clueless as well. But she doesn’t have the support of her family in China. And then there’s my niece - who gets everything she wants but could turn out like my brother. I just hate this. AND THEN I found out that my SIL really doesn’t have to work on Thanksgiving, so we could have had our celebration on Thanksgiving. And maybe we still can, but it’s complicated now. Why does family always have to be complicated??

OK. Bachelorette almost over. And I’m over this entry.

Until tomorrow,
GS
