I Love Turkey Day
We had an early Turkey day on account of Esther needing to go to work on actual Turkey day. Mom made a very large Turkey, as always. We had duck and chicken, also. Dunno how that works exactly, but I ate a lot of meat. We also had Challah, because that stuff is delicious. Watched a movie called Killers (Katherine Heigl) which was okay, and chilled out as a family — it was really nice to have this after so long away from home.
I guess that’s how it’s going to be and it won’t be getting better anytime soon. Real life during work post-graduation will mean only 10 days of vacation a year + the week for Christmas. No more winter, fall, and spring break.
Eeesh. Weird to think that I’m not far from that.
Anyway, various pictures from last week, not from tonight’s festivities.
-
- Brian Johnson and I pwned these pumpkins
-
- Mac and cheese (me), veg lasagna (kev), inside-out prosciutto&pineapple burger (lehsah) at Savas in Ann Arbor
-
- I'm not sure if this pumpkin is happy or scared to get smashed.
-
- Mom's fish. Best ever. Whole sea bass steamed with gin and covered in a green onion and garlic sauce.
-
- Yay for smashing this guy!
-
- David caught wild goldfish at Porcy Park for research. They're gigantic. And beautiful.
Tuesday: I woke up around noon and my mom is like “you’re heading back to the city because a surgeon needs to see you and the only times he has are before 2pm.” I was like “wtf,” so headed up again, this time with dad. The doctor took some x-rays and reassured me that the surgery was going to be pretty easy and fix me. Then we scheduled for Dec 23.
It’s going down.
I can’t wait to run again.
