Thanksgiving 2020. Kids with their mom today, so we did "Thanks-getting" last night instead. Ham, Green Beams, Potatoes-Au-Gratin. All of it was delicious. I helped minimally with prep and a lot with cleanup but Jen did the heavy lifting and in the spirit of giving thanks, I could not be more grateful for her easy nature and open heart and willingness to let myself and my kids into her life with such love and acceptance. Lauren's easy going but both Tommy and I… that takes patience. Tommy spent the day with his mom as did Lauren and he's back at Matson as of 6pm. I've not heard otherwise so I'm going to assume all was peaceful. I hope so. He's fixated on getting the iPhone Pro Max now, so tomorrow's tree-cutting looks at risk. Time will tell. Jen/I spent the date at Valerie's with Cynthia and it was a pleasant day, good food, good conversation, nice walk in the woods. Heading into the weekend, Jen's going to visit her uncle in SoCal and I'll be solo w/kids, likely mostly homebound as it should be due to covid but if Tommy manages to find a phone option nearby, well, we'll see what happens.
