What are Traditions: Thanksgiving 2017

I woke up super late today with a massive headache after a long night. I didn’t actually get out of bed until the afternoon. I wasn’t really clear on what day the family would be cooking for Thanksgiving, so when Mom texted that food was ready, I still had to get out of bed and shower.

I guess Julie’s still in Florida, so it was just us with Bác Vân and Doug, and Dad invited a college friend. I showed up just as everyone else was finishing up their food, then left after all the guests were gone.

I guess I’m doing some things tomorrow, so I can forgive today being worthless.

Even though I really should, I knew that I never would.

I slept beautifully last night after running on little sleep for the past couple days worth of conferences. It was all downhill from there.

I received a juror qualification questionnaire in the mail. This never would have happened had I not registered to vote after this past election. If I’m honest with myself, I still probably won’t even exercise that right if the time comes. I sort of assume North Korea will assimilate us before that happens. People seem to forget that Samsung is a Korean company. They think North Korea won’t stand a chance against us, when half the population carries a Samsung mobile phone with all of their personal information and an always-listening microphone. They never saw that one coming.

My Uncle Giao and Aunt Teresa came to town and wanted to visit. Their timing didn’t work out for lunch, so they wanted me to meet them at my parents’ house for dinner. I played a few rounds of Overwatch while I waited.

It was too cloudy to catch the Orionids, because why wouldn’t it be?

Maybe tomorrow will go according to plan.
