10-12-25 Happy Thanksgiving
I’m struggling with my mood today and it is unfortunately exacerbated by my mother‘s stress about me leaving for so long. I spent my time puzzling and watching my shows and baking pumpkin pies from scratch and fruit danish, kind of pies.
The desserts look like they had been made in my grade 8 home economics class, but it turns out they tasted great and were a hit.
It started snowing in the morning, but didn’t stick, thankfully.
I picked up mom and brought her to the family dinner and then Ashlée brought her back home for me because mom’s anxiety was too overwhelming for me. I promised her I would come see her on Tuesday before I leave.
Sawyer was so cute. He made a point of putting on the T-shirt that I bought him in Ecuador, which he was embarrassed to receive at the time. When he saw Emmy go put on her llama shirt to show me he put on his and let me know that he had worn it three times now and no one bullied him about it.
Jake drove me home so that he could take my car in order to bring Emmy home in the morning. I plan to finish packing and organizing tomorrow to take that off my plate. I have so many appointments in the next couple days and work to get done before I go.
I got a sad text from Mark that his cancer has spread worse case 3 to 6 months best case couple years if the immunotherapy works. I am sad.
