I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.
It turns out today is the best day for us all to get together for our Thanksgiving turkey dinner.
Even then Ben has to take his car in to have the brakes fixed and an oil change on the #Honda and Tracey has to go to work for a while to do a job interview to replace one of nurses who is leaving.
I am going to shove the turkey in the oven later this morning and hope there is a window of opportunity this afternoon when we all can sit down together for a meal.

Tracey was supposed to have yesterday off from work but she got an early call that they couldn’t get a needle into one of the dialysis patients so she went in to do that.
Then we went out for breakfast and then braved the store for some more food. (And because I forgot to get pumpkin pie —— no Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie!) We put a big pot of chili in the crock pot and several 12-packs of soda on the counter for our young adults to obliterate throughout the day. It was a good day yesterday. (Even though it was rainy and dreary most of the day)

Since Ben is a teacher now it is natural he would be in contact with kids who absolutely hate the “new” school lunches. And because Michelle Obama championed more nutritious school meals they blame her for the crappy meals they ended up getting. They don’t understand how the school bureaucracy and government can mess up a good idea. And it is politically expedient to blame the black woman their school officials told them to blame.
From the article —— “Because healthy eating, particularly for kids, is one of Obama’s signature issues, it makes sense that she’d be associated with changes to the federal school lunch program. But those changes actually started with Congress and were put into place by the US Department of Agriculture.”
(Plus, the stores that are giving their workers the day off for the holiday.)

“Insurance underwriters are merely the high priests of what has become our new American religion: the Cult of Kiddie Danger. It is founded on the unshakable belief that our kids are in constant danger from everyone and everything.”
“The Cult’s dogma is taught diligently unto our children who are not allowed to use Chapstick unless it is administered by the school nurse, nor sunscreen, lest they quaff it and die of poisoning, nor, for the same reason, soft soap in pre-k. It doesn’t matter that these fears are wildly at odds with reality. They are religious beliefs, not rational ones.”
