Gotta laugh at the Thanksgiving family stories of that one family member that’s cra-cra and always causing tension when we’re all seated, or stuck, at the dinner table. “Pass the mashed potatoes” is a phrase I heard years ago and it works!! Interrupt or change the subject to shut that person up, or at least delay that family members nonsense to get a mental break! Have your own code-phrase and use it this Thanksgiving Holiday, and go ahead and pull it out as needed throughout the rest of the year.
We’re all going through some type of isolation now. Maybe it’s working from home, cancelled sporting events (Steelers fan here!), shorter shopping trips (can’t wait to flip that mask), lack of travel and vacations. We’re going to have to be creative, which is why so many humans changed residences and got new Covid puppies! The amount of truly nice people I’ve met because of Zella (dog) is incredible….#manmagnet. Single and not in a relationship? Yikes! this is a tough one with finding a new relationship if everything is shut down
