Pre Thanksgiving stress

 I honestly did not feel it was going to be a problem. I really believe that I'd be able to go visit Jennifer request that we reserve the common room for our Thanksgiving dinner. We didn't do that last year we just sort of overtook the whole room since it wasn't anything going on when we needed to use the room and didn't have any issues for the whole meal. I guess now I remember the kids were really late getting there meal together and maybe that's why we didn't have a problem when we ate the meal later on in the afternoon but that 12:00 noon this Thanksgiving they're going to be handing out the Salvation Army Thanksgiving dinners to those residents here at the apartment complex. They actually drive up with a big truck and unload these dinners- - what's a really pretty good and disseminate them to the folks who had signed up. So now we don't have a place to have our Thanksgiving dinner. Of course felt quite guilty that we're not able to do that and I sent a text to everybody on our group chat and immediately got feedback saying that didn't matter we'd figure out a way one way or the other- which I sort of believed myself but it's good to hear the kids say that too. Jennifer and her moment of guilt about not having the room available volunteered one of the big tables folding tables and chairs to go with it. So maybe we can just set that up in the main room at the apartment and have our little dinner here in my unit. That's the way we're going to do it which means I'm going to have to spend some time cleaning up the place. Luckily the unit hasn't gotten that much dirty since the last time Jackson put his magic fingers on the apartment. I'll just clean the sinks off and maybe the stove and call it good. You'll have a fast Thanksgiving dinner enjoy the food and turn the kids loose after that. In the meantime I have once again extended myself beyond my capabilities I'm sure. I want to make a green bean casserole and a tray of dressing at least. I thought about sweet potatoes or yams but I don't think that's going to happen. I also need to put together some dressing. I'll just get a box of stove top it should be good enough for me.

As I've moaned about already the cold days are back and of course tomorrow is going to be the coldest day this week which is also the day that I need to be out and about going to my doctor appointment all the way downtown Salt Lake. I think if I were one of my red jackets I should be okay. It's just going to be cold not necessarily rainy or anything so that's cool. This is for my eye exams for my possible diabetic Vision issues- - which I think I don't have but I'm going to the process to make sure. There and Back Again then maybe a quick stop at the market to pick up some stove top dressing as well as celery. The celery I have in the fridge I think is around the corner.
