The Night Before Thanksgiving

I am trying to maximize my holiday weekend by doing what chores I can complete before bedtime. Finishing up on our laundry and cleaning our room. I've been resisting buying stuff tonight as better deals maybe had on Friday.

The sucky part is Nate's working Friday and the weekend. I wish he was off as he could have helped me tackle the garage. So whatever buying I am going to be doing will all probably be online. This might be the year all Christmas presents are bought online.

I am not completely cooking this year. All I have to do is make my stuffing and head over to Migs and April's house for Thanksgiving. Still not sure if I am the host for Christmas. I'll probably find out tomorrow.

My sister and brother-in-law are on their way from Northern California. They will be leaving for their honeymoon in December and will be going to Australia and the Philippines! I am already making a list for my sister to bring me home stuff!

On a sad note, Britney, my Uncle and Aunt's German Shepherd mix was put to sleep on Monday. She was having really bad seizures for the last two days of her life. I don't think there was anything that could be done for her and my Mom insisted that she be put to rest to spare her from suffering. It was too much for my Mom as it was like P-Chan dying all over again but worse as Britney's condition was really bad. My Mom tried to comfort my Aunt as much as she could. She stayed with her and Britney when she was put to sleep. Britney, at this point was very weak and went peacefully. I don't think I could have been able to do that as I would be overwhelmed with emotion.

I was crying at work but my friends/co-workers know how much I care for my pets and family pets that they understood and they tried to cheer me up as best as they could. Last year we lost Pudgy and P-Chan and it's just unfortunate that Britney followed a year later.

I wanted to get a dog this year but maybe waiting till next year is a good idea. My yearning for a canine companion grows stronger day by day. Even though I have three cats already when I only planned for one in the beginning, I think a dog would round it out. ^____^
