My parents were okay meeting outside so we went for a walk Wednesday and I had a quiet Thanksgiving at home.  Kid is over her cold and will be back at daycare next week.  And for all of you fighting about Covid precautions — I wasn’t joining the family because a coughing, sniffling, cranky toddler would have improved zero people’s holiday celebration, to say nothing of taking the virus home with them, no matter what it is.  It sucked because I was looking forward to seeing family and maybe getting some free babysitting to actually have a proper adult conversation but they’ll all be back in the area for Christmas.  That’s just life with little kids — it’s not like they time their illnesses for my convenience after all.  And anyway, we’ve been on a sick-every-two-months cycle so we should be good through the new year now, right?  😝

(Should be noted — my folks are immigrants, so our attachment to thanksgiving as an actual holiday is pretty limited.  I would be much more upset if this happened at Christmas which is our big deal family traditions time.  YMMV.)[/quote]
