Trying to think of something to be thankful for...

It's hard to feel thankful when you're bone tired from bagging people's turkeys for a week, you've had a cold, your mother now has it, and you've had to cook for yourself for the past few days... and that includes having to cook most of Thanksgiving dinner last night. Part of me feels like not celebrating holidays any more, since it seems we all wind up getting sick right around them, from the added stress of all the fuss. Maybe it's a good sign in disguise: maybe this means that we'll have the best Christmas ever, as in O'Malley the mook -- aka "Bishop Grinch", at our house -- will relent and let Holy Trinity stay open and let the Latin Mass and the ethnic German Catholic community continue to worship there. There haven't been any major developments lately, other than there's a task force of sorts from the Vatican that's investigating what O'Malley's been doing to us. God's Rottweiler isn't thrilled with it and I hope he puts the bite on this jerk.

A few things to be thankful for, even if I've been calling this year "The Year From Hell":

--Two parents who love me and put up with my quirks.

--A paying job

--A new computer (yesss...)

Silly things:

--Keeping my head up during the fanbrat debacle this sumer

--Installing the MxO and getting Sieges (my character) up to Level 7 in a little less than three weeks
