Based on my reaction to the title, I'm guessing I don't have any plans.

My reaction? holidays? what holidays? It took me a minute to remember what month we're in.

Anyhoo, my mom, dad, and brother are gone, and my sister, 18 hours away, will spend it with her husband, 2 boys and daughter-in-law. I know she'd welcome me, but I haven't been in a very good place for a few months and I never know if being with them will help or if I'll struggle to appear ok.

Maybe I'll get a big wreath and hang it on my balcony...yeahhh, that's the ticket.

warmly, bluemonday

What if the hokey-pokey really is what it's all about?
