What's going on this Thanksgiving?

I think it’s amazing how you are so excited to hosting for the holiday considering what you have on your plate right now. How are you feeling?

Your meal plans sound delicious. I’m not a ham person. Lol. I have prepared turkey tenderloins for the last couple of years with fixings for an early dinner. We used to host a Thanksgiving day breakfast, since many family members had other places to be for dinner. We served breakfast casseroles, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, cinnamon buns, etc. Most family members were free at breakfast and we had a good turn out. Then Covid and health issues, family dynamics, etc. put a halt to the breakfast tradition.

I’m exhausted from being over extended for this year, plus my own health issues, but I’m improving and could physically do it. You have inspired me! I’ll make the meal and serve whoever shows up! Maybe I’ll try something new this year like an oyster stew or grilled shrimp and crab legs!

I hope things go well for your health and your Thanksgiving gathering,

Physically I'm doing really well. I've not been sidelined at all. My issues are primary emotional. I believe much of that is caused by the drugs that are pumped into me.One of my "gang", that is I how refer to the half of a dozen friends who I have told about my cancer diagnosis, is a director of pharmacy in a hospital. She suspects I might be reacting to the steroid I'm given prior to the chemotherapy, because my emotions come out as anger and rage. It does make since. I had to have the steroid cut in half after the first cycle because I was not functional for 2 days. It was like having severe hyperactivity.

Being busy helps me stay calm.

Have fun Thanksgiving. I love Oster everything.
