Happy Thanksgiving, Yanks :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers, wherever you are.

As a Canadian, I'm long since done celebrating my Thanksgiving. We celebrate it the second Monday of October, which was October 9th this year. My understanding of why we do it so early is because it coincides with the ending of our harvest, thus is a true harvest celebration. I could be wrong. Whatever.

But I'm thankful today anyhow. My father came home from the hospital last night. On top of that, he's had the scare of his life, as has his wife, and they're both now wanting to be militant about diabetic diets. To hear him telling me about his new hardcore mealplans is impressive. I'm optimistic that he's not only going to recover, but is going to add a few years to his life. For now, I still have to be dutiful daughter and get out there and visit yet again this weekend. Oh, how I hate the suburbs.

So, still, I'm a happy Steff. Right now I'm not sure if work will be around for me to stay employed before the holidays, so I have some concerns, but I won't be in the dark much longer. One way or the other, I'll pull a Gloria Gaynor, and I will survive.

OH, and what should I write about? I'm sure some people have written me and stuff in recent weeks, but I have little recall -- I was just trying to get through the near-death of Dad and all the mental shit that comes with. I'm almost back to full now, and need topics, and don't have the time to scour through my inbox or anything. (If you've dropped me an email recently and want it answered/written on, then reforward it to me, just send the original email with a "yeah, can you tackle this?" note or something. Manners count. :) Sorry, I don't have the will to look for anything right now, but would love to answer, so...!) Questions? Comments? Wish list? C'mon. Clue me in! Thanks!
