we were in a similar predicament as thanksgiving- i worked late and sean apparently was banking on grocery stores being open all night. of course they weren't, and we have no food at home. we ended up at a chinese buffet- quite surreal. it was very busy with all sorts of people. the food was as i remember chinese buffets to be- greasy and salty. sean did well for himself, eating a large portion of a roast beast on display.
i'm in the intensive care unit right now. our patients are, as the name implies, critically ill. it was so sad watching families visit their loved ones yesterday. being there makes me so thankful for my good health and that of my family.
jub jub says happy holidays to you all!
