Thanksgiving was a relatively quiet affair, which was a pleasant surprise. My meddlesome cousin was invited by my equally meddlesome dad to a church Thanksgiving meal my mom and I were attending without our consent of knowledge. My mom just got told out of the blue that she was getting an unwanted plus one, but didn't feel comfortable saying no to my dad.

Now my antipathy towards both men are well documented here, so I won't litigate that again. What I will say is that I was expecting meddlesome and disruptive conduct from him and I was very happy that didn't happen. Still awkward as all get out being in the same room as him, but at least he was polite and cordial.

Rocking my big pre-Black Friday purchase. Managed to score a 10 inch Amazon tablet for more than half price. Since I'm so integrated with Amazon's services as it is, made perfect sense.

Speaking of Black Friday, I've got a ten hour shift tomorrow and Saturday selling my phones. I volunteered for the extra hours, so I've got no one but myself to blame there. I'm just not looking forward to my exhausted feet at the end of my shift tomorrow! 10am-8pm.
