Thanksgiving

I made smoked turkey breast seasoned with garlic Parmesan seasoning blend, butternut squash seasoned with garlic Parmesan seasoning and avocado oil, and garlic mashed potatoes. It wasn't fancy but gosh it's scratching my itch. The turkey is so ridiculously tender and juicy and delicious. I haven't cooked anything turkey related in over 9 years. My partner thinks it's perfect. I love making her happy. Id be lucky to be able to make her happy for the rest of my life, I tell you what.

This week there was a major car accident involving a school bus. Some of the injured children had limbs amputated. It impacted me greatly as I recalled how in November how I was 8 hours away from having my leg amputated.

My leg has significant scars but I still have it and it still functions. The hospital that misdiagnosed my leg is still investigating how they could have got it so wrong. Instead of anger at their error I am striving to be grateful for the doctors that got it right and saved my leg and my life.

What are you grateful for today?

Hello Everyone! It's #Thanksgiving week. I wanted to wish you a happy holiday. Whether you are spending it with #Family or a #friend or a #Furbaby you are never #alone . I think sometimes this time of year is a kick off for some of the most difficult things to face. This means #lonely for some #Grief for others and many more #Emotions .

I want to let you know that whatever you're facing... You're not #alone .

I am here for you.

#BarneyShow was a show I never watched as a kid, but would make fun of with my friends. In the spirit of #Thanksgiving time, I found this too funny to not share. This is the story of how Barney died. LOL

This was a YouTube clip I found online, and I snapped a photo of it. It made me laugh. If you get a chance to see the high winds and know why on a windy day they keep them really low, or not have them at all? This is why.

I have never felt so uncomfortable in my own home. My mother in law comes over and takes over my kitchen. I try to help but it’s seems like I’m annoying her. She can be sarcastic and, self deprecating . She asks me odd questions about race, which I then have to be an ambassador for black people. This makes me so uncomfortable. I started drinking in the morning to numb myself , when that didn’t work I took a few Xanax. I was hoping to pass out. #Holiday #Stress #Family #Motherinlaw
