vivienI think I spent most of my first years on LJ not filling them out, and I think I was okay with that.
I took today off and I spent it on Thanksgiving tasks. My refrigerator rolls are not as sweet as they should be because DUH I didn't put in the amount of sugar called for in the recipe. I think they'll be okay, though? I hate it when my baking doesn't turn out. Some years they turn out so well. But they are made from scratch and full o' butter, so it ought to be fine for friendsgiving tomorrow.
I made sausage balls, too, but they don't taste like they did when Mom made them.
I spent a lot of today vanquishing creeping despair. I looked at Twitter with no filters, and WOW, that bruises my soul. I do not want what it has. I have two lists that show just DoDo videos and Untamed recs. Actually I should just cut down who I follow to the bone. I still haven't checked out Mastodon because it is more complex than I have brain for right now. Anyway, so I went back and forth from the despair of the world being awful and me getting older in it and not really liking either at all to kicking the blues in the head and just looking forward to this nice long weekend.
My kitty is a chaos mouse, but I sure am enjoying having her around. She is so silly. She does help with kicking the blues in the head.

Date: 2022-11-24 05:47 am (UTC)I haven't checked out Mastodon yet either, for the same reason. I probably will at some point, but it seems so complicated to get started in; it probably isn't that bad, but I am le tired.
Very grateful for good friends to grow older and tireder with, though, and for the combo of friendship and cats to kick away the blues whenever possible.

I'm sure your meatballs are very tasty; nostalgia is probably hyping the dishes your mum made to levels you'll never be able to accomplish.
I'm still checking twitter because I have two very dear mutuals there. The rest of twitter is a dumpster fire.
Have a nice holiday and enjoy the evening with your friends.
