THANKSGIVING DAY
8:12pm

Sitting in the family room with Mom, Lori, Archie, Dad, Pap-paw, Bryan, Mam-maw, and Aunt Natalie. John, Megan, Carly, and Emily are in the dining room playing a game. John was here for awhile, but he's gone home.

I was surprised to find myself sleeping in until 1pm today. I have not done that since high school. We had the usual turkey dinner today, minus the noodles because Mam-maw isn't well. She's freezing, so the furnace is up and the rest of us are roasting. Meanwhile, she's wearing a coat and covered in two blankets eating a piece of pumpkin roll. I've never grown out of cuddling up to her, even as I've shied away from that with others. She's just one of those people who you can feel the love coming off them, and it's hard to stay away from that. I listened to her heart beating, and it was sort of sad, sort of precious. We both nearly fell asleep.

Nothing much is really happening. We are all just here. I suppose it's nice.
