Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And a very happy 60th birthday to Shortcake's father.

Shortcake woke up bright and early at 3:30am. The alarm went off, and she was up and running. Here's what she looks like at 4am, dressed as a human, in a jacket far too large:
She reached Broadway and 35th at 4:45am, reporting for 5am duty. She then moved some barricades on 34th St. Here's what 34th St. looks like at 6am on Thanksgiving morning:
Shortcake spent the time before and during the parade at 36th St. & 6th Ave. working crowd control with some police officers.

It was windy and slightly cold. Shortcake did not dress appropriately for the weather. By the end of the parade, she was quite cold, sleepy, and tired of the cranky people. There was one man who wanted the bands to play music, but the bands couldn't because they were too close to the televised performances on 34th St. Here's what Shortcake looked like after the parade, while holding a sign telling people they couldn't cross 7th Ave, and watching people walk right past her to try to cross 7th Ave.

Afterwards, Shortcake went home to shower, eat the most delicious turkey of her life, and take lots of naps.
