I'll be alone on Thanksgiving - YorkieTalk.com Forums

waistfull · 11-23-2005, 06:37 AM

I was supposed to go with my family out of town to have Thanksgiving with relatives. We were going to be there for a week and planned all kinds of things to do, prepaid them too. My lupus is acting up and told them to go without me. This is my first Thanksgiving alone. I don't know what I'll do. They left early this morning, and I'm so bummed out. I have been painting, sketching, and crocheting, but at least I have my pups. I am so grateful for having such loving little buddies.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don't eat too much!!

Yuck! I'm so sorry! Hope you're feeling better real soon!

Jaspermom · 11-23-2005, 06:46 AM

Sorry you are not feeling well!! Hope you feel better soon! Make yourself a little Thanksgiving feast for you and your furbabies tomorrow, and light candles, put on some cheerful music, and have a little party! Call everyone you know, and wish them Happy Turkey Day! Talking with a friendly voice will help those doldrums go right away!

I hope you find some enjoyment in your day tomorrow, and trust me, as long as you are online with US, you know you are NOT alone!!

HUGS!

Thanks so much. I'll be on YT for Thanksgiving!! That makes me feel better. My husband was refusing to go, but I didn't want them to be disappointed, so I said I wasn't in the mood for Thanksgiving this year anyway (fib), and I convinced him to go. If anyone has any good fwd's send them to tidd@comcast.net thanks again.

red98vett · 11-23-2005, 06:51 AM

Oh I'm sorry to hear that ! I don't spend mine alone.... but do go to all my family dinners alone now ....my husband stays home by hiimself with the girls as he is too ill to be out....but I always feel bad leaving him...

I do his holidays the day before, so he can have what we have on the real day...but it's not the same is it ? Maybe you can have a private one when they get back ?

I know sometimes the holidays can just overwhelm us when we are around poeple who seem to have great health and happy lives - just remember ...you have US to talk to and your family will miss you....I hope you feel better and Happy Thanksgiving to you - You can hang out with those of us that will probably be here that day...I know I'll be checking in

Zeus' Mom · 11-23-2005, 06:54 AM

I am so sorry to hear that and hope that you will be feeling better real soon!! Just watch a lot of good bad tv and spend time with you pups. Zeus and I are sending hugs and happy thoughts your way!

sneri13 · 11-23-2005, 06:55 AM

I am sorry you are not feeling well. I will be checking in off and on tomorrow. I have some good one's I will forward on to you.

I'm so sorry. Lupus is not something to mess with! My neighbor has it and she has been though alot. She is a very strong woman and has the will. I wish you all the luck in the wold. Take care of yourself. I'm sure your family wants you to take care of yourself so that you will be around for other holidays!

txshopper73 · 11-23-2005, 06:58 AM

Oh no! I've spent Thanksgiving alone before and it really wasn't all that bad. Got to do what I wanted to do and had the tv all to myself. Hope that you get to feeling better.

yorkieusa · 11-23-2005, 07:14 AM

Oh, I'm sorry. It must have been hard watching your family leave without you. Take care of yourself though. This is a good time to pamper yourself and do those little things that you ordinarily don't do for yourself. Lean back and cuddle with the babies, too.

fasteddie · 11-23-2005, 09:20 AM

I'm sorry to hear that waistfull. I believe there will still be some activity around YorkieTalk, so at least you can have some "YT company" to keep you company tomorrow, if that is appealing at all to you...

Immerse yourself by watching the Thanksgiving Day parade, football, or movies and the day will pass in no time!

chachi · 11-23-2005, 09:27 AM

I am sorry you will be alone on Thanksgiving. I wont be alone but it will be just me,My husband and My daughter. My Son is going to his Dads this year and the rest of our family goes to other places. I watch the parade. There also a dog show on right after the parade this year.

Chelsey · 11-23-2005, 09:38 AM

If this makes you feel any better, i live in Holland and we dont celebrate Thanksgiving here, so tomorrow is a normal working day for all of us and ill be around on YT as normal...

im sure there will be other people on here too, if not then it will be VERY quiet around here

livingdustmops · 11-23-2005, 09:38 AM

Waistfull,

I work for a company that has transferred me over 10 times in 15 years and have never married so I spend most of my holidays by myself. At first I had trouble with the Holidays but now I really enjoy myself those days. They are my totally self indulgent days. I do everything I want to do those days that I normally wouldn't do.

1. I don't make my bed
2. I stay in pj's all day
3. I have a marathon day watching movies
4. I cook all my favorite things even if they are not healthful
5. I eat chocolate right out of the box and if I don't like it I throw it away and go for another piece
6. I let the dishes stackup in the sink
7. I do no work around the house
8. I read a good book (hardback)
9. I take a wonderful bubbly bath
10. I hug my furbabies all day long

Okay, by now you see I break all the rules my mother

gave me but hopefully you get my point. Enjoy the peace of the day!

PATTI AND JACK · 11-23-2005, 09:42 AM

I read your posting and we know what it is to have a debilitating disease, do hope you are doing better. We keep praying that one day there will be a cure for these diseases afflicting so many. My husband has Progressive Parkinsons, we just lost our Cassie Nov. 5th. it has been very hard on both of us, I am looking to get another, she was so much comfort to him and to me too. We are at a loss without her. She was 10 years, and always so healthy, this was quite sudden. Our Cassie was such a Blessing to us, in fact the week before she passed I held her and told her how much she was loved and that we was the luckiest people in the world to be Blessed in having her, I always had good conversations with her, which I am thankful for. Oh, she knew she was loved very much by the both of us. I have to look at it this way, God brought her in to our lives and so it was HIS time for us to give her back to HIM, knowing that she is in a happy place and enjoying all the joys that HE has prepared for her and all our other special pets. Please pray that we will find the perfect little yorkie to help fill the void that we are feeling, we can never replace her that would be impossable but I know there is a little one out there waiting for us to love. Our prayers are with you to feel better and for one day there will be a cure for lupus, parkinsons, etc. sent with all sincerity, Patti
