I had completely forgot how draining it was to be with my uncle's family at Thanksgiving. It's not even like they're that big, it's just so many people.

I have a year to remember to make plans of my own. I think by then I might have a legit army of cats though, that can surely be an excuse, right?

	That sounds like a nightmare to me (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The cat army or the family Thanksgiving? I'm betting it's the family thing, because cats are never a nightmare. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanksgiving. The cat family sounds marvelous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, it's not the best. It's the first time it's just been his family and me. I would've honestly preferred putting on a dinner for the cats. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That might have at least been entertaining. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're still integrating the most recent cat, so it's fun seeing their dynamics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How is that going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's slow. I think the issue is six cats with six personalities. Mog and Cacutar seem to have settled with Moogle quickly, but the other three are still taking their time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	At least you have the options to make plans, my mother demands all children to be with her on holidays. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	demisword 2019-11-29 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	My mom probably would've. My grandma did. It's just new this year so... different things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isobelevans 2019-11-29 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	Ah I see. Also with the newness, kind of a fish out of water as well? I get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demisword 2019-11-29 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Feeling a lot out of place, even among family. But my cousins were nice enough. Just glad I don't have to do it next month too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are lucky! I still got to do a repeat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demisword 2019-11-29 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Well, at least it's family, that's kind of the point of these holidays isn't it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isobelevans 2019-11-29 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it is. My twin and I are getting along rather well this year, just my mom is crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demisword 2019-11-29 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	If there's any time to get along, it's now. Maybe that'll help deal with your mom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isobelevans 2019-11-29 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. In a month we will know! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hopefully it's not too stressful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only time will tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good luck then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I am behind you getting an entire cat army as long as there's still room for the door to be opened to let me in. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	demisword 2019-11-29 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	If there's not, I'll get an escape ladder from the window for you. Do you know what you're doing for Christmas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actualwizard_bk 2019-11-29 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	It's okay, I can kinda fly now... Hanukkah starts on December 22nd, but I'm not going home, it's too much hassle, so I'll probably just... celebrate here? And then celebrate Christmas at the same time. No real plans, gotta see if Grizz is going home because if he is, I might come stay with you? If not, we could get together some time around Christmas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demisword 2019-12-01 11:23 am UTC (link)
	Well that’s impressive. Cut down of your travel expenses at least. You know you’re welcome here. Grizz is too if neither of you want to make yourselves anything. I might need help putting together the cats play house. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The joy of working. Didn't even have to worry about yesterday! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	demisword 2019-11-29 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	What kind of work is it? It can't possibly be retail, I've heard a million and two horror stories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I'm a bartender. I get the sad and lonely or the ones looking to escape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hopefully they tip well though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Some mainly do. (Reply to this) (Parent)
