Today was not a very good day. I had nightmares last night. Some of what I had seen in a movie and some from stuff on TV. I'm realizing I need to take notice of what I am watching especially close to sleep time.

I awoke several times and needed to touch Mr. F to tell myself, "This is real and what is in my head is not real." A mantra of sorts I guess.

Then when I woke up this morning my neck was bothering me. I must have slept wrong. With my neck being achy, I also had a headache.

With the arthritis in my neck, a chiropractor won't try to manipulate it. This is fine with me and since this was said I haven't been back to a chiropractor since.

This has been my worst day since this detoxing from the medications I have been on. I'm learning to accept that there will be days like this and they do pass. Thank heavens.

One thing comes to mind of the friends I have that are having what I consider a worse time than me. One friend's husband is in the hospital with the diagnosis of cancer, another friend is experiencing this coming holiday season by herself since her husband died earlier this year. Today I had one friend tell me that he thought family was coming for Thanksgiving only to learn that they went and made other plans. Yup, my stuff isn't that bad.

Today's weather was in the mid 60s. Sunshine was patchy. When I watch the weather in other areas of the states, I am grateful for where I live. Although, it is predicted we may get some rain on Thursday. Not good for getting around but we so need some rain here.

Mr. F and I are going over our dinner menu for Thanksgiving and making sure we have everything. Our turkey is in the fridge defrosting. We have the ingredients for green bean casserole. Mr. F is going to prepare candied yams which we didn't do last year so I am looking forward to them. Of course there will be mashed potatoes with my homemade gravy. Mr. F wouldn't have it any other way since he really likes my gravy.

It seems like we are going to have a really fun day. We don't have a set time for eating, except all day, but we would like to have the majority of the cooking done prior to the football game. I'm not sure what time kick off is but we want to be ready. The game is between the Steelers and the Ravens.

Have you seen the holiday commercials for Honda? They have pulled Michael Bolton out of the closet. Now he has short hair. I kind of miss his long curls. But still, I haven't seen him out and about for a long time so maybe this is the beginning of a come back.

Now that I have bared my soul and shared my Thanksgiving expectations and doings, I'm off to watch the news.

Thanks for being there for me.
