Hmm. Thanksgiving. Many different thoughts, so we're just going to roll with it ...

I am still working, and my wife left me ... to visit her mom. A friend of mine brought me Thanksgiving dinner from where she works. So I had a nice dinner. Quiet, but nice.

I am not sure what I have extra to be thankful for. Tis the season to be thankful, I'm told. Well, Sherrie bought me a used, but efficient, net book for our anniversary. It is coming up this Friday. The net book also has a camera in it, so it will make my online stoic courses a bit easier. I don't have to keep borrowing others' laptops.

I'm thankful for Sherrie, keeping me grounded, not as a ground, but I have to make sure that I'm her ground or anchor. We've been together since 2000. Strangely enough, we met on an online dating site. I had been broken up with my past girlfriend for a few years, and pretty much had given up on the dating scene. It just happened one day, and we've been together since.

We were married in 2005, Oct 14th. We were going to get married on Halloween, but it's my mom's anniversary, and HER birthday. I know I'm a momma's boy, I just don't want to share too much stuff with her :D

So anyway, it is just a coincidence that a couple of my friends from Cambridge are coming up, and having a stop over in Ottawa on Friday. We're taking them out for dinner. When I turned 40, it was nothing special. I spent the night at home. Sherrie was in the hospital, and I was working. It was a Saturday evening. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, other than my workmate taking the on call responsibility every few hours so I could visit Sherrie.

So that being said, I'm thankful that Sherrie will be hale, and we will be entertaining guests on our anniversary. Also for, Chewie. He's a great dog. Makes Sherrie happy. And thankful that I try to keep my karma balance in check.
