Like the tried and true advice from grandmothers everywhere, “If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all, ” I’m operating under the assumption that since I don’t have anything interesting to say I should just be silent. I’m feeling a bit blah in general. I think it has to do with the cold, overcast days, the lack of time with Honey Bee, and the knowledge that time is slipping away but we’re unable to move forward with more fertility treatments right now.
I’m not feeling the holidays yet. I’ve never been a RAH RAH HOLIDAYS YAY! kind of person, but I like the excuse to see family and friends and eat yummy treats (like mashed potatoes) and sleep and sit by a fire. I need to perk up and practice my other favorite cliche piece of advice, “Fake it ’til you make it.”
So, in the spirit of “fake it ’til you make it,” I’m thankful for:
my sister’s mashed potatoes
red wine
family and friends
the fact that I have several family building options available to me (I’m looking at you, states that recently restricted adoption to married aka: heterosexual couples-kind, loving parents come in all sorts of packages, and we will be better off as a society once we recognize this)
the sunny vacation I’m planning in my head
sarcasm and inappropriate humor
I am thankful at being able to roll my eyes at my SIL (well, all my in laws) and their insanity. I am also thankful for anti-depressants.
I too am very thankful for red wine (who am I kidding, I don’t really care what kind of wine), irreverent humor, Alleve, and spicy Asian food.
And no, darling. If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me. 🙂
Happy Turkey to you…..
I am so thankful for smart-assed, irreverent, totally non-pc humor! Hope you had a good Turkey Day!
