5 Year Journal Day 189

      Today's prompt is "What's the next book you want to read?" No book in particular, just a book on Quantum Healing.

     It is now 5:19 a.m. here. Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day,  and it went alot differently than I expected. Yesterday morning after I rinsed the green beans, but before I took the stems off, Billy messaged me saying he bought a 20lbs. turkey and to come over to eat. Well, my plans were to cook my own turkey breast dinner in the crockpot. Caleb had gone out to the park to go fishing, and I was about to start preparing the vegetables for the crock pot. After a short conversation, I felt like I should go to Billy's , but not before putting our food in the crockpot. I quickly washed the red potatoes and cut them, then some ginger root, and took the stems off the green beans. I cut a couple of  onions and more ginger root, then added the turkey breast to the crockpot. I seasoned the food with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, onion powder, garlic salt, and garlic powder. I added some water and a little bit of olive oil and turned the crockpot on. I called Caleb to come home, and then told him my plans. 

     We left the house around 11:38 a.m. We did not make it back home until almost 6:00 p.m. Billy cooked the whole time we were there. The turkey was supposed to be ready to come out of the oven by the time we got there. The turkey did not come out of the oven until 30 minutes before we left. Needless to say, I was hungry by the time we ate. I had not eaten since breakfast around 8:30 a.m. The turkey tasted good though. He also roasted jalepenos, red, orange, and yellow bell peppers, and potatoes. He made stuffing and corn on the cob. He cooked the turkey organs for Bella to eat. 

     By the time I made it home, I was so sore and achy. My feet hurt. My lower back and pelvis hurt. It was awful. I just wanted to go lay down in my bed for the night. I did not expect to stay at Billy's house for that long. I thought we were going to eat around 12:30 p.m. and I would be hungry for dinner when I got home. The house smelled amazing when I got home, but I had no appetite. 

     After I spent some time resting, Caleb wanted to eat. I got up to make him a plate, and then he didn't want to eat. I took a few bites to test the taste of my creation. It was good, just watered down. The turkey breast was moist. The vegetables were tasty. 

     A flash of lightening just lit up the window. A huge thunder roll just sounded and now I can hear the rain drops hitting the window unit air conditioner. 

     Bella gets scared of the thunder and came to me for comforting. 

     Billy and I spent the whole day in the kitchen just talking. It was very obvious to me that he has ADHD and was not on any medications for it. His conversations jumped from one topic to another, leaving me to constantly ask, "What are we talking about?" 

     Today, we are going to have our own Thanksgiving dinner and snacks. LOL

     That makes the count to 3 Thanksgiving dinners this year!

     Because I wasn't home, I didn't get around to washing the laundry. Bella had her turkey organs and scarfed them down with her dinner. Caleb drank Welch's Sparkling Red Grape Juice when I made his plate. 

     We had a long day of socializing. It was exhausting. I can't socialize that long anymore. I get so tired afterwards. 

     I don't know how today is going to go, but I hope I can make big strides on washing the laundry. I hope I can finish moving my books out of the china cabinet. It would be nice to watch the last of Ethony's videos. 

     I'm tired, so I am going back to bed.
