I can hardly wait! I am reading The Tenth Muse My Life in Food by Judith Jones, and it tends to make my mouth water. Dang if I had known I could have a career in food and actually had the confidence to pursue it from a literary angle. How incredible. If I had started earlier, I would probably have a different menu for Thursday, but will do the traditional fare for Thanksgiving. Sorry vegetarians. I have cooked Thanksgiving for vegetarians before, but this year have all carnivores coming to dine. And several for dessert. Dessert will be made tomorrow, starting with the pumpkin cheesecake. Then the pecan pie. And finishing with the apple pie. Yummy!
I am only working half a day tomorrow to help with this dessert extravaganza and I can't wait! Pumpkin Pecans Pie OH MY!!

Thanks Universe. No crazy parents yesterday.
Friday today, Precious opens and I am driving straight from work to the theater to watch it with him. I can't wait.
And good news, I just found another Christmas present for someone who I was having trouble thinking of what to buy. Yay!

I just don't want to go
I just don't want to go to work today. I left in tears yesterday. I know the guy was a total wife beater who made sure to keep his blows to the body. So he could charm his way through the rest of the world. The two screaming swearing glaring parents were fine compared to him, but I need a day of rest.
I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner so took Wed afternoon off so I just have to make it til then...

Petition
Lord grant me no crazy parents today.
not the ranters and ravers
crying of racism and wrongdoings.
Nor the real danger,
the ones you know beat their partners
at home in hidden places
No charmers or gimmickers
No sales people
No non stop ringing phone
Lord keep the crazies home today
leaving the children to contend with
while school stays a safe place

Doubt
I think they should make a movie about real doubts that go on not the incredibly horrible movie with that title. My mind is the Doubt Ocean today, conveniently adjacent to the Pacific.

Off
I am off this morning. I feel like if I poured a mug of cofee I would miss the mug. I wouldn't scorch my hand, but would definately have coffee all over the counter and floor. There is a fog in my head and I don't like it!

Good people
I have such good people in my life. Thanks Mary for sharing this:
Earth, Teach Me
Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.
An Ute Prayer
It was a very interesting weekend. I had a bad reaction to a medicine I am supposed to building up to taking. I am sticking to my half dosage. I have to work, walk, etc and the full dosage has me in the bathroom or fetal position in bed. Aaron took good care of me though. I heard some poetry on Friday night. I especially enjoyed Catalina Cantu's and Gabe Morales work. The emcee kept rushing up and quickly reading another poem by another published poet, and it just squashed the readers voice to me. I like to have the words soak into me unfettered, instead they were jarred out of me rudely replaced and then the next poet came up. So at least I got to enjoy a couple voices. Then Saturday the first day I experimented with taking the full dosage and had to ditch Aaron and run into a Walgreens to use the bathroom. He called as he was standing in the rain outside the condo complex he was buying a drill off a guy (craigslist), poor guy I said I have to use a bathroom or I am going to shit my pants, I will be right back. My poor Baby, then we found a Ross and shopped there, I found a great man's exercise shirt- moisture wicking and all that in woman's would have been about $10 more, so bought the mens.
Cashback - what a great movie. With a very romantic scene, walking through a frozen snowstorm...just watch it trust me. Then today we watched Floundering, also a very good movie. Truly would watch them more than once without a problem.
Then errands, and we were near Greenlake and decided to walk the lake. It was beautiful. In the summer Greenlake is swamped with people and there is always somebody's sweat flying on me when they run/bike or blade by me. It is incredibly gross. But today was beautiful. People all clothed in there fall warmies, no one with sweating flying off them, room for everyone. No bikers, one blader and the trees in all their red yellow glory. A definate thing I will do again. It worked well to as I didn't feel like Bellydancing today. (I did though 4 times last week, and it is so incredibly cool, just wanted to change things up today). After making myself sniff the items in the freezer, found out the salmon was on the verge of freezer burn so Aaron and I made salmon patties. Ok Aaron gave me this killer massage. I checked a reflexology chart, because yesterday and today my feet when not wearing sneakers are killing me. I decided it was the medicine. Unfortunately I hardly had any water yesterday and today so it is taking it's time working its way out of my system. And the foot charts seem to line up with all the areas the medicine affect so definately going to half dosage. So after a phenomenal massage, cooked excellent homemade salmon burgers, and pasta with chantrelles and broccoli. Yummy.
This morning my blood sugar was 95 or 96 I don't remember. Last night it was 101 and right now it is....103 very very good! And it was on half the dosage, although I swear that full dose is still in my system, because I never had sore feet! Ugh. Overall though who can complain. An amazing boyfriend, a great massage, a yummy dinner, and a nightcap of Trivial Pursuit...I lost this time, still fun though.
