Thanksgiving Struggles

,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING Kloker! Seems to me you will be eating pot roast for a week! Good for you taking care of yourself. I was glad to see this post. Still plugging along and not giving in to feeling rough. I will also be spending Thanksgiving alone. But not cooking anything as elaborate as pot roast and all the fixings. I seem to have caught a cold virus and am trying to get over it. Been spending the past 3 days coughing, blowing my nose, and sleeping. I was supposed to go to my sister's house in Round Rock but bowed out as to not get anyone else sick. My wife went in my stead. I am sure I will sleep a lot this afternoon.
So how much of your place is packed up? Still haven't found a place to move to. Still cleaning and cooking, good for you! Hang in there Kloker and have a good day! Enjoy your friend's visit tomorrow. Take care and God Bless!

Hi kloker, and happy Thanksgiving! It's good to hear from you and, all that you've accomplished planning for your eating journey! I am looking forward to hearing how the meal turned out and, how the visit was from your best friend, Gordon!
My wife and I went over to my daughter's house and celebrated there t his year. It was a good day - missed other family members, some of whom had to work, others who had other commitments. But, we, eventually, will catch up with all of them when our schedules permit - it's how we always do it!
So glad that you checked in here with the community for the holiday.
Keep fighting that good fight, kloker - we are with you!!
All the best,

Happy Thanksgiving ! Sounds like like you made the most of it for not having family around. Good for you! It just goes to show us that we can still do things sometimes if we take it slow and easy and take breaks as needed. I hope your visit with Gordon went well. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the support, y'all! I hope you each had a decent holiday. Dminor9 - I hope your cold goes away quickly. Well, Gordon didn't make it up here yesterday, he had plumbing issues at his house, but he is coming this week instead. He was installing a new washing machine and ended up having to replace the faucets. So, I binge-watched a tv show instead. It's an old one called Eli Stone, on Hulu, and has Johnny Lee Miller, my favorite Sherlock Holmes. It has a couple of seasons and is a great show. Anyway, I ate pot roast all day and still have a bunch left. It turned out great, but the old crock pot (from the '70's) is on its last leg, I will have to replace it. It would not heat well on low, had to turn it all the way up. The neighbors brought me homemade tamales and Mexican rice, and I ate half of that too. I am fixin' to go heat up the rest for breakfast. Yum. It poured down rain all day and all night but will clear up today and be nice for a bit. I plan to sleep some and do some housework today besides just pigging out. And listen to some music. I have Rocky Racoon stuck in my head right now from yesterday, along with Alice. My stomach is tolerating all this good food quite well! I already feel sad that I will soon run out of it and go back to my normal diet of soup and sandwiches. The roast is literally melt-in-your-mouth tasty! So is the chocolate fudge cake. God. I am a glutton. But that and a nice nap is turning out for a good holiday. I hope everyone here has a good one. Later.
