I am so sore right now, it's actually pretty ridiculous. The last few days have been so busy. I always laugh at the way we prepare to have people over, like it's important to appear to be like neat freaks even if we aren't, and even if our guests probably aren't either, but it really does pay off. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but our house looks damn good right now. I spent hours mopping and hand drying all the tile floors and I can definitely feel it in my legs right now.
I try to make a point of being extra helpful and cooperative around holidays. I also try to make a point of not showing my frustration when I inevitably start to get tired of being helpful and cooperative. I think I held up pretty well today. We only had a few people over, so it wasn't as stressful as it easily could have been, but it was busy enough. I helped a lot with the food preparations and cleaning up after dinner and then just sort of hung out with my uncles and my brother. Having just a few people over was quite nice actually, though I'm definitely looking forward to seeing everyone all at the same time for Christmas. We only see everyone a few times a year, so it's always really good when we do. I wish I saw my family more often.
Anyway. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone had a nice day. I'm thankful for silly holidays that create an excuse to get together with family members you don't see often enough and eat a lot of really delicious food with all the best homemade recipes. :)
