I know the way a piano should sound

Okay, okay! Geez, Ruty.
So I've done nothing of consequence for the past week or so, and until today, this post would have been another one of those "I'm miserable, I hate everything, I'm lonely" posts. And nobody wants to hear that.
But.
Today, I got woken by a phone call from someone asking me to come to Thanksgiving tomorrow, so I will be eating a real meal with a real family instead of watching Babylon 5 while eating leftover stirfry. (The latter is actually a lot of fun--I think that will be tonight's dinner. But still . . . nice not to be alone on Thanksgiving.)
I also finally got my key to the Sage pipe organ on Monday, so I went and played today. I'm still coming down from the high. It was so wonderful to play again--I was there for almost two hours and didn't even notice. When I left the bench, my hands were shaking. This was exactly what I needed.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - we're going camping in the COW, complete with turkey and all the fixings (and the dogs). Aspen is the one who is really all alone, but I sent her some recipes, so I think she'll manage to celebrate on her own. So glad you found a Thanksgiving home and played you fingers to the bone!

A friend is coming over and we are eating turkey crepes ('cause they are easy to make). I bought a casserole dish so there will be broccoli casserole as well. And deviled eggs, cause they are yummy. So yeah, that is my thanksgiving meal. A bit hybrid but yay.
