'twas the day before thanksgiving

Which means I am making deviled eggs also known as dressed or "suit" eggs which was my sister in law's nickname for the labor intensive delicious must have Thanksgiving side.  Also Easter.  Lauren will be making homemade mac and cheese to go with dressing, turkey and hen and green bean casserole.  I am fighting with Grammarly as I type because I haven't had time to learn how to use it.

This past week has been busy.  My daughter/babygirl got here last Thursday which was good timing because I was still reeling over Lorna's death.  She has since then transformed this old house from an unorganized hot mess to a home.  She was here for the visit from the state person who assists with vision problems.  Evidently my last checkup at the retina specialist was enough for me to qualify.  She was quite helpful and I have some benefits coming following our meeting.  I was quite impressed.  I get daily updates on the health of my friends and family who are dealing with much more than me.  Lorna's celebration of life will be next week in, of course, Tiptonville, at Ellington Hall.  Right there with RC nearby!

Money is tight around here but I feel sure that LP will  I l get a job soon.  Already has several interviews.  We work well together as roommates because she is teaching me how to sit down and enjoy life.  I reckon that little "vacay" was worth it.  She and Rosie are buds again and have a kind of snuggly relationship.  That gets the cat off of my bed at night....lol.  

I am so thankful for so many things in no particular order.  Being above ground after a very serious near death experience.  My church family rates right on up there along with the blood relatives and extended ones.  Ya' see, family is not always blood kin.  The people who choose us as friends and show up when times are hard are angels.  Reeces dark chocolate thin.  Heck, anything chocolate without nuts.  Boundaries in relationships.  The God given ability to speak my mind without being disrespectful.  Nature is a heavenly gift to us.  Sometimes it's ugly but that's how it rolls, especially in these days of climate change with big denial in our country.  

I won't start on 45 because it depresses me.  These cabinet picks are atrocious!  Fron this point on he shall just a number and something to be endured.  That he missed the deadline is pretty shitty in my opinion.  What a passive aggressive move.  But then, narcissists are good at that.  They want it to be all about them all the time.  Ummm....that ain't real life y'all.  As a peon I appeal to all of the other peons to not take this lying down.  I'm sure this post is already tagged as "anti" something.."  Whatever,

Rosie has brought us two mice presents from the yard so we have to walk carefully not to step on the dead Mr. Jingles laying around.  She's so proud of her hunting skills, bless her heart.  The patch of greens across the road has been picked to death prior to the coming hard freeze.  After that, it's pecan season, right Patty?

My prayer during this season is one of gratitude and faithfulness.  Big Ernie always comes through ^j^
