I encourage you to continue striving to qualify to return to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Wherever you are on the covenant path, you will find a struggle against the physical trials of mortality and the opposition of Satan.
3:57 became 4:46. Good intentions.
I got the turkey in the roaster oven by 8 a.m. I felt like I really accomplished something. James got rid of the giblets and neck.
Next the sweet potatoes and the mashed potatoes.
I got a call from Kim. Brian is feeling better and they are leaving around 9:30 to come up here. They should get here sometime between 12:30 and 1 if they don't stop. I had just finished preparing the green beans, stuffing, and gravy and gone into the bedroom to get ready when Kim and Brian drove up. I hurried to get ready but James came in before I had hair done or makeup on and said they were ready to eat. What should I do, hair or makeup, I don't have time for both. I chose makeup. Needless to say I didn't look my best.
James said the blessing on the food and we had a nice meal together. Kim and Brian brought a Honey-baked ham so we had ham and turkey. I prefer ham myself. My rolls were small but they tasted okay, especially warmed up in the microwave. Brian also bought a big pecan pie from Costco. They also brought two containers of cranberry celebration. They know how much we love it so that's why they brought two containers.
After dinner James picked all the meat off the turkey and put it in baggies in the frig and then he got rid of the turkey carcass, then he left to go back outside and cut and haul more wood. I cleaned out the roaster oven and Brian put it away for me. It goes in the high cupboard over the built-in microwave. Kim and I went in the family room and watched the semi-final of DWTS She loved Charlie and Mark's Viennese waltz as much as I did. After this episode was over we went back in the kitchen and did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen and put all of the leftover food away. Kim then began making pumpkin delight dessert. It takes over an hour to make. When it was in the oven cooking we turned on the DWTS finale. Brian joined us in watching it. James dug in to the pumpkin delight as soon as it came out of the oven, not waiting for it to cool. I had a piece to. It was delicious.
We had some good news and some bad news today. The good news is that Trenda has her baby boy. He was born on the 22nd and wasn't due until December 7th. Here is a picture that Sandra sent me:
Here are some pictures Trenda posted:

The bad news: Catherine Halcomb fainted and Kerri had to take her to the hospital. She is diabetic and Kerri thought she had a low blood sugar. I guess it was actually high but the final conclusion is she is low on sodium, just like Donna Peeler was when she went to the hospital recently. She is going to be okay and will come home tomorrow. She and Kerri will be driving to the valley for a family reunion on Saturday.
After dinner Brian got a call from his dad. His mom had to be taken to the emergency room and she cancelled Thanksgiving dinner at her house. She was given some medicine and was sent home. She will be all right.
I got a text from Stacy at 6:25 p.m.: Hope your Thanksgiving was better than mine. I am in the ER with I think a couple of fractures in my foot. I ran into the wall in the middle of the night. Had one of my vivid dreams that someone was there to kill me. I put a hole the size of an orange in the drywall. I am bruised in the face as well.
Me: Oh Stacy, I am so sorry. That is terrible. I have night terror like that but so far I haven't hit a wall. This is so sad! What can I do for you? I wonder if Tramadol is doing this to us.
Stacy: I didn't take any. These types of dreams are a syndrome. I forgot what it is called. I gave the Tramadol to Paul.
Are you in the hospital now?
Yes. It could be high blood sugar. I see things. That's the first time I moved.
I see things too. Are you staying overnight?
No. Medications can exacerbate it. I am on an antipsychotic for manic depression. That can trigger it. I am waiting to get an x-ray. Thankfully Paul and Gus did Thanksgiving.
I am so sorry. Please let me know when you get home.
Ok. I'm fine. My foot just hurts really bad. I just feel bad that I am not at home with my kids. My foot is broken in two places.
Is this the foot you were going to have surgery on?
Yes. I'm an idiot.
No you aren't. Those dreams seem so real and you can't blame yourself.
Thank you. I wonder if the dreaming thing is hereditary?
I'm wondering that too.
They are worse when I have anxiety and worry about my kids.
Isn't that most of the time? It is for me.
True.
All in all, except for Stacy, it was a good Thanksgiving for us. We have so many things and people to be grateful for!
Happy Thanksgiving!
