    Getting settled back in Empty Getting settled back in

    <she had been working almost non-stop since she had gotten back from Vegas; not because she had to, but because she hadn't been comfortable staying home, by herself. When she was at Merlotte's, everything seemed semi-normal. There were drunks everywhere, people laughing and chatting about the football game on TV, even families arguing about the upcoming holidays. But at home? It was a reminder that she was basically alone. Eric was at his house, with Pam. Jason was spending his holiday with God knew who (or what). Bill was crazy. Tara hated her guts. She had no idea where Lafayette was. It was just her.>

    <so last night, she had settled down with a small turkey she made with one of Gran's recipes, had mashed up a potato for herself and cooked a single cob of corn to have as her Thanksgiving dinner. Then afterwards, as she always did, she washed and put away the dishes and settled onto the couch to watch 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving', just like she had when she was younger.>

    <when she woke in the morning, she had felt a bit better. No nightmares, no people knocking on the door and no feelings like she was being watched. All calm, all serene, all okay. That didn't change the fact that she was going to work as soon as Sam unlocked the doors. She needed to keep her mind busy.>

    <she rose from bed and stretched before padding to her bathroom to shower. Work would be hell today with people that were in visiting relatives coming to check out the local watering hole. The good part about it, though, was the tips she could expect. Her hair done nicely, a little bit of makeup and a real nice bra she had gotten while in Vegas that made her breasts real perky, and she was ready. Merlotte's crowd wouldn't know what had hit them until it was too late. She checked that her smile didn't look too fake in the mirror before grabbing her purse and taking off for work.>
