Holiday Drama

Thanksgiving at Dave's started off rough. Dave and I got into an argument about me calling him before I left my place. The shouting match crashed and burned after he yelled at me and I threatened to leave. It was total drama. I guess that's what people do on Thanksgivings, family members get together then duke it out, kind of like a typical holiday movie. We were fine after we aired it out and the dinner went along fine. We had 9 people and we all enjoyed the big feast Dave and everyone prepared. Yesterday I stayed at home and did some shopping online. I wouldn't want to compete with the mall crowd. Today I slept 'til noon and had a late lunch with Sylvia. There was a little miss-communication in the morning that reminded me of my frustration with her. Fortunately my annoyance did not get too far, we talked it out and the trip worked out fine. Holiday does give people a lot of tremendous stress, and any little mishaps can roll into a big dumb mess. I feel lucky I didn't let things get too out of hand. Now let's go shopping.
