YUCK

This is the day before Thanksgiving and I am sick at home. Bummer, huh? I don't even know if I will feel well enough to go to a friend's house and celebrate tomorrow. She is a food editor for a very famous Theme Park and last year's dinner was amazing. And, I am missing work.

Speaking of last year, I DID end up in the hospital with pneumonia last year, so this is definitely better. I think I caught the infection soon enough. I started feeling worse yesterday at work and called the Dr's office for an appointment. Fortunately, she could see me. Diagnosis was bronichial, sinus, ear infection; the big three. So, I was sent home to go to bed and that is where I have been ever since I got home.

Today has been a very lazy day. I don't know when I have "rested" this much - laid around, did very little - washed a load of clothes, checked my e-mail, realphabetized the cds and eaten several times. It has certainly been interesting.

I have applied for another job in Research. It is one-step up, a little more money, and more responsibilities. I think I'm ready. We'll see if they are ready for me.

My friend Sherry has a guy she wants me to meet. His name is Jesse. She says he's a "snappy" dresser. I could be intiminated by this guy. I rarely go out with guys who dress better than me. It could certainly be interesting. We'll see how it goes.

I asked Kris to go to the Christmas Party with me. I sent him an e-mail, but he hasn't responded. I don't know if he has read it or not. "S" says he has been very busy right now, so who knows. Maybe he's just avoiding me.

My son is fixing some things to take to my other son's house for tomorrow. We're doing 2 T-day dinners; probably because one is not enough or just because we can. It should be a day to talk about. We'll see. Sounds like a "Gilmore" marathon t-day. They had 5 dinners one year. Thank goodness we're only doing 2.

My sister-in-law and niece are coming for Christmas. It is always great to have them visit. "L" and I are close and I really appreciate her for so many reasons. When Tom died she took his shirts and made me a quilt out of them. She is very talented and artistic. It is so beautiful. It was truly a labor of love. It is one of my prized possessions. I will always be grateful to her for that.

My son has gone to the store. He is picking up a prescription for me and getting some additional things for his "stuffing" he is making. If I don't die from over eating tomorrow, I'll have some pictures to post. We'll see how it goes.
