So my W and I have ironed out plans for this weekend. Much of it is centered around preparation for our cruise. That being said, these coming days and weeks will be the longest she will be physically separated from the OM. The last time she saw him was on Nov 2. I know that the next three weekends are occupied (two for the cruise). This means she won't be seeing him until after Thanksgiving.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I'm anxious about that day. We don't have an annual tradition and we do different things every year. The only constant is that we're always together as a family (the 4 of us). It'll be interesting how this plays out.
One thing I wanted to do was to cook a thanksgiving meal by myself. I've been spending a lot of time cooking these past couple of months, it's something I want to try anyways. If I invite my immediate family, my W will surely be elsewhere. She does not want to see my brother, my SIL, or my parents. Then comes the other X-factor, and that is, inviting her own parents -- who have no real issue with my side of the family. I don't know if I should put that kind of pressure on her. But then again, if it's something that I want to do, why should I cater my happiness around her at this time?
