Round 1, Day 11: ADF
Most of the US is celebrating Thanksgiving today, as the day is always supposed to fall on the third Thursday in November. This is, in fact, one reason why I was pleased with my plan to fast MWF and eat on Tuesdays and Thursdays: it meant I could participate in Thanksgiving without mixing around my eating schedule too much. However, owing to the demands of family tradition, we are apparently not going to be celebrating with the rest of the country; the weather promises to be fairly nice today, but potentially slightly less nice tomorrow, so the guys have decided to hold the annual Thanksgiving Cutthroat Classic today instead of tomorrow. As a result, we have moved the big meal to Friday.
Bleh.
This isn’t the end of the world; I did resolve to accommodate such things. I’ll eat today and tomorrow, and take Saturday off instead. We’ll spend that day packing and travelling, so it’s probably a good day for fasting anyway. I’m just ‘Bleh’ing about it on principle. Mice and men and all of that.
