Three Options for Thanksgiving

Hi, Everyone!

What are the odds that Great Aunt Reesie, Great Aunt Donna, and Ruby’s parents have all opened their doors to me for the Thanksgiving break?

My thing is this: I’m afraid of hurting someone’s feelings. Usually, when I’m faced with a decision where all of my options are open, I think about the road not taken. If I chose Door #1, I tend to think about the other two doors. If it were up to me, I would go to all three places at the same time. Now, I know what you all are thinking: “Natasha, you’re overthinking this whole thing.” Well, perhaps I do think too much, but I can’t help it if I genuinely care about the feelings of those who have been very hospitable to me, whether they are in my family or not.

I’ve had a lot of fun with Great Aunt Reesie during the module break, and I totally enjoyed myself over at Mr. & Mrs. Hudspeth’s house on Labor Day. As for Great Aunt Donna, I’ve seen her only twice since I’ve been out here. To me, the logical thing is to stay with Great Aunt Donna for the Thanksgiving break… and now that I think about it, that option makes more sense for so many reasons. I mean, hear me out for a moment, y’all: She’s the only family member whom I haven’t really spent time with since my Rust College debut, and what’s more, she’s the closest family member—she lives in Memphis, as you know.

Well, I’ll be—it looks like I’ve made a decision after all. I’ll be staying with Great Aunt Donna for Thanksgiving. I’ll call her this evening and get everything situated. Besides, I thought about something else: I need a break from Ruby… I’m just sayin’. Hey, Ruby’s my girl and we get along just great, but I need to get away from her for a while, and vice versa.

Now that we’ve taken care of that, I guess I can rest my mind at ease. I’m glad that I didn’t give it too much thought… hahahaha!

Well, that’s all the news for today. Oh, before I forget: I trust that you all will be watching the results of this evening’s election, because I know I will. I’m gonna dedicate tomorrow’s blog to the results of tonight’s election. Until then, take care.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
