Fork in the Road

Writing about feminism, relationships, gender, identity, fiction, poetry and life by a Bay area questioning, sarcastic, warm-hearted, tech diva who was once married and monogamous for many years and then took a new fork in the road --a much more interesting and unpredictable fork.

Holiday blues a comin?

So I am starting to recognize that this year the holidays are going to be dicier for me.  Yesterday with Pansy and Wash, planning schedules, I started geting edgy about the holidays. You see, for Thanksgiving, the Kid is going south to see the aging grandparents, the siblings live across the country, and that leaves just me here.  Last year, I had R's big, loving family to pick up the slack, but this year I feel alot more alone--I don't really have anyone to spend Turkey Day with except Wash (Pansy is going to see her family).

And Xmas may not be much better--the Kid is going to be with the girlfriend, and working that week between Xmas and New Years, and of course Wash and Pansy are going to be on their own, seeing family that don't know about me and out of the area, to boot.

So I am going to feel being on my own alot more--and while I think I will be fine--it will be more of an adjustment than last year was.  Another milestone to pass.
