My mom and I Black Friday shop every year. It is a tradition in our family. We plan strategy over lunch/dinner: make lists, mark ads, plan store order and who is going to get what. It is crazy but fun. After it is all done, we go eat breakfast. I go home to nap and then go to work a few hours later.
Good. Busy as I cooked everything for the whole family (8 adults and 6 kids) but that was kind of what I needed to survive my first Thanksgiving single I think. My cousin came over a bit early and helped and we talked (we have always been pretty close despite our age difference). She of everyone really gets it since she went through similar issue that I went through with her husband, granted he actually agreed to counseling and they eventually worked everything out BUT she gets it.
I am at work as well. I have worked every Black Friday for years because so much of my department travels for the holidays. It isn't bad because it is typically pretty slow and I can get a lot done (I've already cleaned out my desk or old paperwork and have done my self review for my evaluation. I am about to work on my data entry.)
