Well it’s almost the end of the year but I made it to Thanksgiving weekend posts! Lol. This is where things got more awkward between me and my mom. She ended up having flood issues in her garden apartment. On Thanksgiving Day, go figure. I felt bad. She didn’t have the chance to cook the dish she wanted to bring over to my aunt’s. In the end she made a cold pasta dish. It was good. She seemed very anxious as well, but was trying to keep her business low key during dinner. For the most part me and my family were having a lovely evening, but my mom wanted to go home early. Me and my brother dropped her off.
The next day, the landlord was trying to see what was wrong. Unfortunately, he ended up making things worse. The pipe burst and they had to shut the water off. It was very frustrating for my mom. She would shower in her neighbor’s bathroom across the street. The landlord informed her due to the holiday weekend, the plumber would stop by on Sunday. We had plans with my dad for dinner on Small Business Saturday, but my younger brother decided to cancel on them. Another dispute that I couldn’t win. In the end, he called me up and told me if I wanted to have dinner with my mom instead. They both came over to my place and I ordered Thai food for all of us. It wasn’t planned, but I think my mom enjoyed being out of the house away from her drama. In the end, she stayed with my aunt and uncle who also have a dog. My mom’s dog and their dog had a blast. I felt good knowing my mom was safe with them.
On Thanksgiving Sunday, my younger brother texted me when I was finishing up at the gym. He wanted to know if I was up for having dinner with my dad. I was upset because it would have been better for me to do this the night before, but I couldn’t say no. I haven’t seen my dad in months. He picked me up and off we went.
My older brother was working and was going to show up later. Unfortunately, there was a snow storm coming in, and we had to leave right after dinner. I’m glad I had the chance to catch up with my dad. It was a weird holiday for all of us but we did manage to spend time with one another.
