I made my decision. I'm skipping Thanksgiving [View all]

It seems that the littlest things are overwhelming me, lately, so all of the activity could likely be a triggering mechanism. I'll probably spend part of the day cleaning the garage and the rest binge watching something. Not sure what.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I appreciate all of you more than I can ever say.
