Going About it All Wrong

serafina20I have been *so* going about this the wrong way. I was so upset about not getting to go to San Diego (which is really like my Mecca these days; representing the future, and all), it never even occurred to me how fucking awesome today could be. For the first time since I used to work at Disneyland so couldn't do the whole trip thing, I got to sleep in. I got to sleep until I didn't feel like I was going to die anymore. And then, I got to take a long shower, a leisurely breakfast, watch the parade, loaf around in my pajamas, and now I get to check me e-mail.
Last year? We'd have been on the road, stuck in traffic already. My sister and my mom (and possibly me) would have already fought at least once. Drama about how to work the CD player would have occurred. We would be needing to stop for food. But this year, since we're only traveling 10 miles at best, I get to actually relax. And tomorrow, I get to hang out, go to the movies, and, again relax.
This is a f-ing great Thanksgiving, except for the fact that my uncle's dad is in the hospital. That's the only downside, and I, of course, would rather put up with the drama than have him there. But, since life is how it is, I'm going to enjoy it.
I am Thankful For
1. My family, who puts up with me, my complaining, my moods, and my presence with (little) complaint.
2. My best friend who has stuck by me for ten years, despite selfishness, moodiness, bitchiness, and any other -ness you can think of. She's been their through three 'novels', many crushes, heartbreak, and frustration, and I am eternally thankful for her.
3. LJ friends who have become real friends. It's so hard for me to make friends, that I am thankful to have met such a wonderfully diverse and fascinating group online.
4. An easy, fun, and wonderful second student teaching assignment. My love of teaching has been reconfirmed, telling me I haven't wasted the last 7 years of my life.
5. The ocean and the beautiful wilderness that I'm just now discovering right where I live.
6. Smallville and Michael Rosenbaum. Does anything more need to be said?
7. Slash and my introduction to slash. I will always be thankful that this wonderful world was introduced to me.
8. My creativity and imagination. I wouldn't be the same without it.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
