It's Thanksgiving Eve. Stressed out from a super heavy workload, and from the prospect of spending time with family and all the difficulty it represents. Going out tonight to blow off steam, and working on Friday, so I'm not sure what the family time will be like. I always dread the worst in the hopes that I'll be surprised that it's not that bad. This time is no different. Seems highly unlikely that it will be good. And that makes the stress worse. Sigh. Happy Thanksgiving.
