I was excited this morning as I endeavored to get ready for early breakfast with the kids. So be the first breakfast and possibly 2 weeks I think. Two for Mark and one for Jasmine. Last week they were at the cousins in Idaho doing an early Thanksgiving dinner with the Olsen family up there. But it was good see the guys again. I was pleased with myself for being able to get myself up and ready in the 2-hour spam that I had given myself. I wanted to be up by 5:30 a.m. but that just didn't happen and ended up pulling myself out of bed around 6:03 a.m. but it worked and I was able to get dressed do up all the latches and Velcro and make it to the restaurant before anybody else. As usual the conversation was Lively and all over the place as we needed to catch up for the last couple of weeks. The kids doing fully listen to everything I had to say and gave me the reinforcement and feedback that I desired. We spent the 2 hours roughly Gabby and eating enjoying our company. Mark had to be somewhere at 10:00 a.m. so we closed it down around 9:55 everyone going on their ways. I really didn't have anything else going today and I didn't want to be out cold anymore than I had to. There's nothing I needed to do outside. I couldn't tell if the day was a clear day as it was forecast or overcast with clouds or possibly small or a mixture of both there's certainly No Sunshine and it was chilly as I said. Perhaps headed to Sunshine been out and felt it was warmer I might have journeyed up to the movie house to see a couple of the other films that are out right now. There's no burning desire to watch any specific film but it still would have got me out of the apartment as it was, however I ended up hanging out at the apartment and watching a couple movies as always. I will sum up pleased with myself cuz I got one of the kids written as far as the holiday / monthly kid letters go. I always feel good once I get the first one done that means the others will follow shortly. Perhaps I can write a few letters tonight during the Jazz ball game. The Jazz are playing the LA today which I don't think they have a ghost of a chance. So I'll turn down the volume and glance up periodically but work on getting the letters dictated hopefully out by the end of Thanksgiving or at least Thanksgiving weekend.
Perhaps the most productive conversation which came from the family breakfast this morning was preparations for Thanksgiving Day dinner at my apartment! I really truly appreciate these guys willing to make time to spend the Thanksgiving with me and prepare a real Thanksgiving meal. As it stands now we will be eating at 12:00 and hopefully we'll start getting ready around 10:00 a.m. to make sure everything's done right. I think I'm going to try to put together a green bean casserole as well as dressing. Jasmine already has the turkey and we'll begin fine tonight to make sure it will be done by Thanksgiving Eve or early Thanksgiving morning if that's what they're going to cook. Now all I have to do is get a portion of the common room for Thanksgiving Day hopefully that will not be a problem and if it is maybe whoever it is will let us take one table and not worry about their particular dinner it's doable I know it's doable.
