I did absolutely nothing for Thanksgiving 💯

I had planned to cook a small dinner just for me and the bf, but when I awoke this morning I didn't feel like cooking at all. Truth be told, I feel like I may be in a depression right now and just not allowing myself to admit it.

So we just ate some leftover pizza from last night, and grazed a few little snacks throughout the day. I drank a TON of iced water. Painted my nails and did a pedicure. 💅🏻 Showered, but didn't bother with makeup. Bf sort of ravaged me at noon (Afternoon Delight™️) 😏, then crashed on the couch an hour later while I spent 4 whole hours playing The Sims 4. 🤪

No one cooked. No one took any calls from family or friends. To be honest it felt amazing and I think it was just what I needed- a completely lazy day. Bf had more trouble with it and got really restless, but he has ADHD so that's no surprise. Me, I need time for restoration, relaxation, and peace, or else I just become erratic and drained from stress and anxiety.

Maybe next year will feel more festive. 2022 has been 100% hustle and grind, hopefully 2023 will bring some stability and good fortune that feels long overdue.

This is a great post! You don't have to fall into the holiday routine just because it's tradition or expected. Sounds like amazing day, especially the "afternoon "👍😁😉🤗❤️

I got off work this morning at 6:15 and showered, jammies, fixed myself a couple of whiskey and cokes, was asleep by 7:30, and got up at noon to the sound of my Littles, "Papa, get up!" 🙃 🤗🥰Spent the rest of the day tending to their needs and playtime while my beautiful wife fixed Thanksgiving dinner,
I managed to knock out all the dishes and cookware in the sink and dried/put away so she wouldn't have to have the burden.
She made me a big "to go " plate to take to work, which I'm just finishing now. My tummy and my heart is very satisfied and happy. 😋❤️🤗
