Thanksgiving
         If you're like me, you're tired already and Turkey Day isn't quite here. I'll be up early preparing for company, serve, clean up, and change to go to work for an 8 hour shift. That's hard for an old lady. I get about 4 hours of sleep, before showering and going back into work for an early shift Friday. I'm not doing anything Friday evening but sleeping. Saturday morning will be a lazy one. I work a late shift Saturday.

         There is a lot of food at my house. My boss will be working late tonight, until the wee morning hours. He told me he'll go home, walk the dog, sleep, get up, eat cereal and come back to work. I don't know if he was trying to get sympathy or what. His kids are in another city. He won't be seeing his mother or his girlfriend who has her own family to visit. He thinks it's because of his job. I think it's from life choices he's made. But I can't say that out loud. And I will take him a plate or two of food--cold things on one plate, things to heat on another. Not to kiss up, but because it's the right thing to do.

          HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

         I hope that no matter what your life choices have been, that you will have someone with whom to share a few special moments and a smile.
