Collected Thoughts

My back feels great! I need to do pilates again. Except Dad came home and so I won't exercise again until he's gone. There's really not a lot of room in the living room...in fact I need to move some furniture around when I do work out again. But also Dad makes comments, not bad ones, just really helpful ones. He's not really comfortable with fat and he ends up saying things that I think he means to be encouraging but they aren't.

I also told him that I plan to spend Thanksgiving with Mom. He said he didn't like Thanksgiving so much now that it's mostly my cousin's in laws and some of our extended family. But I did point out that he could always host Thankgiving. I also asked him if he had plans to spend the holidays (TDay or Xmas) with his GF. He said no, and he got kinda quiet. Then he said that her family doesn't really approve of him. Part of me wants to be all "he's my dad! People should like him!" but then I realize that there's a possiblity he's OLDER THAN his GF's parents and I can see where the problem would be. And I don't think anyone on our side is really thinks the relationship is keen.

Driving home from work I was thinking about the holidays and I got kind of worried that Dad might want to have a dinner with me, my brother, and Dad's GF. Which would be beyond weird and I would make all kinds of excuses to get out of it.
