Today's prompt is "Did you leave work on time?" I don't work at a job. My job is at home. LOL
It is now 5:45 am on Thanksgiving Day. I woke up about 40 minutes ago or so. I could not sleep. I was getting too warm. It is supposed to be about 20 degrees outside this morning, so I turned the heat on for the first time this year, and man! Did it stink! Whew!
Yesterday I tried to clean up the kitchen in preparation for cooking all day today. I did not get as far as I wanted to because I had to take Caleb to his therapy appointment in the afternoon. I was tired anyway.
Caleb's therapy appointment went well. It was productive.
Christinia cleared off the dining table so we could actually eat at the table. I had piles of papers and my notebooks and my computer there. It was a practically a miracle to me to see it cleaned off! I was paralyzed to cleaning it myself. I don't know why.
Christinia is in charge of prepping the turkey. I am cooking the fresh vegetables. She is also making the stuffing and mashed potatoes. We also have 2 pies and ice cream. Unfortunately, our freezer is not working properly and not freezing the things within. We might have to throw away everything I have tried to collect. I don't have enough money to call a repairman right away. I have to wait until payday, and the end of the month.
Caleb's room is finally clean so he earned his DVD player back, and was able to go to church with Jerry on Sunday.
My church donated a Thanksgiving dinner to us, and that is the only reason we are able to celebrate this year.
I went to the endocrinologist the day before yesterday. Traffic was already bad for the coming holiday. I was there for 2 and a half hours!! Poor Caleb waited in the waiting room for me with nothing to do. I was with the nurse for about 30 minutes, and the doctor for about an hour. All that work, and you know what came of it? My problems are caused by being overweight?!! When I told Christinia that, she was pissed!
I was getting hungry after the appointment, and Caleb was starving. We stopped at Arby's in Leland, on the way home and had a late lunch. I had a salad with a Greek gyro. I ate the pita. Yep. I am not supposed to eat bread at all, but I said "Fuck it!"
After that we headed on to Walmart to pick up a roasting pan that Christinia ordered. Then we stopped at KFC to pick the girls up something hot to eat. We were finally able to go home after that, but we ended up going back out shortly after. We had to run to Food Lion to get fresh produce to cook for Thanksgiving before everything was sold out. When we got there, they had already sold out of fresh green beans that were not processed. I bought bags of pre-cut green beans that looked ok though. Christinia has been wanting Italian cookies for awhile and I just have not seen them anywhere, and she said once that she thought I bought them from Publix once. SO...the next stop was Publix! They had them, so I bought 2 packs! She was so happy when I showed them to her.
I made an awesome meatloaf the other day that I have been eating ever since. Leftovers are awesome sometimes.
My house looks alot better than it did before Christinia moved in. The Christmas tree she bought is lovely and well lit. She put it up as soon as it came in the mail. We had to throw the old one away because the stand was missing pieces, and the replacement stand I bought did not fit.
Today is going to be a good day.
My dad is out of the hospital again. He went in and found out his sugar was over 600. He was having chest pains.
Jerry helped Caleb fix his bike tires.
The porch is still cleared off and the shed is still cleaned out. The only places that still need cleaning are my bedroom, my bathroom, and the laundry room.
My mom called yesterday, and I was happy to hear her voice. She was happy to be on her way home early. She was calling wish us a Happy Thanksgiving.
