Thanksgiving is my Super Bowl. We host family from Wed to Fri. It’s a THING. Today, I typed up a 4-day Thanksgiving playbook w/to-do lists, recipes & a 3-day cooking schedule, then 3-hole-punched it & put that shit in a binder. Because I’m sick like that & also cause I have ADHD up the wazoo. Go me.

Saturday.

Not ideal care instructions when serving in the resistance, but at least the color will make your eyes pop while you march.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.
