What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Text story

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

This year my Thanksgiving was drastically changed from what it usually is. I am used to either traveling for Thanksgiving or having relatives travel to me. My family and I were trapped inside in our own house and we were unable to cook a turkey since we did not have the stuff needed to cook a turkey on hand, so instead we ordered. While it was not that bad and we were not scarred for life or anything like that, it still sucked not being able to see my family.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
