A not so good thanksgiving

I get out of my grandma's car, and ride the elevator to the 2nd floor. It's my weekly therapy appointment. I sign in at the desk and as she begans to speak, I'm awaken by my dog, TJ.
"Ugh, TJ go back so sleep!" I say but he continues to lick my neck.
"Okay. You win, Babe," I say. I roll over and walk over to the house phone and call downstairs to the bell man.
"Hey, It's [Jake] did my mom call?"
"Sorry, Bud. She hasn't."
I sigh.
"Okay. Thanks."
"No problem."
I get up and I start making dinner. Yes, Dinner at 9am. I had to cook early so it could be ready for later since it took forever to thaw out. I put TJ's bed in the kitchen and we began to cook. I preped 1 stake and a half and then, I logged onto SDK.

Heh. I was still banned from yesterday I saw. I quickly responded to some mail. [I have over 1,000. Thank you, Tim -.-]
Checked to see if my alts were still active and moved to facebook.
No one was on since they were with there family. I played a 3DS game until 4pm. I called my driver and he took me to Giant where I got some snacks for TJ and I. I got home and unpacked and then put our steaks/crab legs on. TJ and I had a great dinner!
I told TJ that I would write this blog and he went to sleeo. I just woke him up, and asked if he liked the story. He walked over to me and licked my hand..I'lk take that as a Yes.

What's missing from this story, Is my mom. My mom is a goverment worker, that's all I can say. She's not always home, and sometimes misses holidays. Some people aren't grateful that there parents are there for them. My Grandma is the person that raised me. My dad doesn't even call me. So today, Give your parents a big hug and tell them that you love them. Some people like me wish they could.
