As Seen On TV Thanksgiving


Today we celebrated the 2nd Annual As Seen On TV Thanksgiving.  Haylee came up with the idea last year and we are going to continue the tradition. There were 10 of us for dinner, including nine month old Skylar, and nine wrapped gifts. Derrick did most of the cooking and added two new items to the traditional meal, spicy scalloped sweet potatoes and a cooked kale dish.  It was delicious.

After dinner, and before the pumpkin pie, the nine of us drew numbers to see the order of choice.  I had number 5 and elected to steal the 'Veggetti' Spiral Vegetable Cutter that turns veggies into healthy spaghetti!  Fun was had by all as we exchanged night vision glasses, light bulbs and snackerees. 

The kitchen is clean, the house is quiet as everyone went to my sister's for card games and dessert.  I stayed home with Skylar and have decided to curl up with a blanket and watch 'It's A Wonderful Life".   Happy Thanksgiving!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
