Thanksgiving is one of those holidays I dread. Oh it’s nice to see family, to eat a sumptuous meal, to remember our blessings. But it never fails around Thanksgiving someone is always sick, some tragedy happens (like NO one bringing pumpkin pie) or a host of other irritable, annoying things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have had some family members sick with covid the last couple of weeks. Are they coming? Are they still infectious? I don’t know. I don’t know who all is coming. I am not sure what all we are having either. The menu was divvied up and I was in charge of pies – I made 4 and the mashed potatoes and gravy. So I will be busy peeling a mountain of potatoes later for who knows how many people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A late-night phone call last night and I am also now going to be cooking the turkey, it will be dropped off soon. It’s something new, a precooked smoked turkey breast. That only has to be warmed up for about 2 hours? Huh? I hope it has directions, I don’t exactly trust the instructions I was given over the phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drinks are chilling, I have dusted. I still need to vacuum, and why in the heck does it seem like there is always laundry going and light bulbs that need replacing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good tablecloths are out, still need to search for paper plates, I know a bit of an oxymoron. Nice linen, and then paper plates, but no one likes to do dishes. I need to mop, I need to clean the main bath, I need a nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner will be at 5:30, but some are arriving at 3:00, some will be late. It’s sunny, but cool and my knee hurts. Not the knee that was hurting last week, but the other one now. I must have wrenched it while out the other day, or maybe it’s just a future forecast of the weather moving in this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure I will limp thru it all and it will all come together, and I shouldn’t stress and worry at all… fingers crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a blessed Thanksgiving and eat a piece of pie for me, I’m suddenly worrying that 4 pies won’t be enough and maybe I should go whip up a cake or something. Or everyone is just going to have to fill up on potatoes….once I get them peeled, cooked, whipped, and drizzled with gravy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
