5 elements to a strange back-to-work/end-of-holiday Monday

5. Riding back to SD in my wife's car when I get a call from my mom telling me I left my keys on the table (which is 2 hours away)... awesome

4. A Turkey hangover in the form of a cold/sore throat

3. Waking up this morning in a drafty, freezing bedroom

2. Forgetting that I wear glasses and not realizing I forgot them at home until I notice my eyes are tearing up from all of the squinting at my computer screen.

1. Being notified that MEGADETH is getting a tour of my workspace tomorrow (Equally WTF and cool); no joke the words used were: they're "looking for inspiration for their next record." I work in a rehabilitation center for service-members injured and amputated in the current "conflicts" in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What kind of inspiration are they looking for?

top 5 reasons this morning sucks

5. it's the morning

3. the super old grandparent (i.e. oma)
2. the unimpressed aunt (asks you what you do these days, and when you answer, they respond with an unimpressed head nod)
1. the dieting relative (only eats protein like turkey.... with a shit load of gravy)

Top 5 Thanksgiving events I'm not looking forward to

1) Driving six hours one way with my mom, dad, and two dogs that get car sick in the rain up the 101.

2) Having to tell everyone what my brother is doing while they assume im still 19, I still live at home, smoke weed all day and am"still figuring out what path [i'm] gonna take."

3) My dad getting into a fist fight with his hillbilly, okie, white trash brother in law. (This guy is a real asshole. Last fight that broke out, both my mom and my 91 year old granddad got a swing in on the guy before I folded him in half and crammed him into a car).

4) Explaining where my girlfriend is. ("oh she's great! really happy now! we broke up about a year ago because I was neglectful and neurotic while i was finishing my thesis... oh, you didnt know i went to grad school?" conversation once again turns to my brother..."oh yeah... Decker is finishing up his dissertation for his PHD, happily married and just bought a house on Skye")

5) The raging hangover I'll have friday morning after drinking my way through the first four events.
