Thankful / by Tahlia Roper

Yes indeed.

I wanted to do something different this year for Thanksgiving so I decided to host a friendsgiving. I spent a couple of weeks planning a very big and audacious menu. I worked tirelessly in the kitchen for the last couple of days making everything from pickles to cake.

And now I rest.

The party was great, the food was delicious and the only photo that I took was two of my friends saying goodbye to Haroldo.

I had so many dishes and things to clean up but my friends went into action helping me 🥹 and pretty much saved my life because I was so tired and I couldn't wait to pass out.

I have mostly rested today and through that I have had some interesting thoughts pop back onto my radar.

I threw a big party, what's next?

Technically India is next, one month away 😅.

I am going to try and rest as much as possible over the next month, I feel like 2024 is already knocking with it's unknown adventures waiting.

In good news Haroldo can handle a party, I had about 17 ppl in my one bedroom apartment 🤣. He entertained occasionally and then would retreat to my bed.

With all the pre work and planning before, during the actual party I also experienced a lot of sensory overload.

Which is why today has been quiet and calm.

Maybe tomorrow I will go two stepping 🤠💅.
