Sick during Thanksgiving... again.

I've somehow managed to get myself sick during Thanksgiving long weekend for the second year in a row. Oy. I've got all the stores' Black Friday ads on my desk but I don't really feel like camping out in my condition. Plus, they don't really have anything I desperately want.

Sometime this weekend, I've got to whittle down my shopping list. I've got even less money than I did last year...

I was never really close to my family, but having the first Thanksgiving without my parents here, the day feels really empty and lonely. Driving through town only made the desolateness more pronounced. I hope I'll see some friends soon.
