This is my fifth Thanksgiving abroad (I missed the last one when I still lived in the USA because I was in Argentina instead- ye gods, I was there four years ago?!), so kinda getting nostalgic for the holiday at home this year. Unfortunately it is waaaaay too close to Christmas to make that trans-Atlantic journey twice in such quick succession- I mean hey, on the plus side, I'll be back Stateside in three weeks!- so unless I decide to miss Christmas (and fat chance of that happening, it's the one holiday I've yet to miss and I'm still single) I guess Thanksgiving will be sans family.
But hey, don't worry, not missing out on turkey and such- I have two Thanksgivings this year! One today hosted at the American bookstore (€20 for turkey+trimmings, and booze), and one Sunday at an expat's house. Was kinda thinking of skipping today in favor of the one with friends, but fat chance of
that happening when push comes to shove.
Still, kinda weird to be at work on Thanksgiving Day! Guess I should be thankful for the good job, and for finally getting this paper off my back.
Happy Turkey Day to all!
Yes, I have a life. It's quite different from yours.
