bryiarrose | ...if the earth won't be still, then i will. and my friends can be my family...

making preparations to leave for chicago this afternoon. we're spending thanksgiving with

zennerthanyou's family (who, with the exception of his parents, i haven't met). but it will be fine and good and if nothing else i'll hopefully get a chance to see

minervacat and

sashybaby and maybe even

insidian. because i miss them all lots. plus, thanksgiving with my own family has been rather depressing the past few years--i don't really feel like i'm missing that much.

in other news, along with the being sick came sleeping through all three of my alarms as well as completely sleeping through work on monday. the passive-aggressive bitchy manager has decided that regardless of anything else she wants to use it as a reason to get rid of me (because she's been hoping for one for awhile now). so. i'm jobless again. though i already put in an application somewhere else yesterday, and started working on a new resume. plus i just found sixty bucks in my desk that i didn't know i had, so it could be worse.
i was sick to death of working there anyhow. i suppose this just saves me the dilemma of having to quit when i did find another job.

i hope all of you have lovely thanksgivings, and that you can think of something in your lives that you appreciate. i may hate how the holidays require us to take stock of where we are, but i suppose it's half of why we have them. at any rate.

off to pack. who knows if i'll be online or not after this, but boy and i should both be reachable by phone for those who need to find us.
