Happy Thanksgiving

I have the flu so any plans for celebrating at our house are dashed. But I am making plans for the relatives to pick up the meal and transport it elsewhere so my family can get together and enjoy it without me and my wife.

I hope all of you out there can get their little bit of family togetherness out of the way with a minimum of family issues. We have so much to be thankful for when you think about it. I may be sick as a horse but even I can be thankful that families all over the country are renewing their family relationships that they are all thankful that their family has the love and bonds that it does.

I am personally thankful for the hydrocodon my doctor prescribed because it takes the nasty edge off the symptoms. I have spent all day in bed going out only to have CT done to ensure that this is not a cancer sourced affliction. I feel like a bus has run over me every hour for 10 straight hours. Dehydrated, vertigo and nausea. Bones and muscles in a contest to see what hurts worse. Again, thanks so much for hydrocodon.

I am also thankful for Nutri-Nazi who is soldiering on despite the bad news. The woman has earned her place in my heart and my undying gratitude. They just don't get any better than Nutri-Nazi, strong shoulders, nice firm butt and a sense of humor for when her husband gets sick at the worst possible time. (I had to put the firm butt comment in because her one failing is believing that her body has started to sag. Far from it, she looks like she is 20 years younger than she is and she has perfect skin besides.) She has helped me through more catastrophes, disasters and just plain bad days than any woman should have to put up with. I doubt I would be here today were it not for her single minded drive to get me through all this stuff. Thank you God for my Nutri-Nazi.
