Turkey Day Thoughts

 

I want to thank everyone for visiting my little corner of the world. It's an honor to be part of such a wonderful blogging community. I hope your loved ones and you have a joyous day today.

Yes, I'm having that frozen Hungry Man dinner tonight. With 55 grams of carbs and enough sodium to make me retain water for Saturday's weigh in, I wonder what my blood sugar will be two hours after its consumption as well as the following morning.

Don't feel sorry for me for spending the holiday alone. After my father died, us survivors agreed to stop having holiday meals together. It's too much work in the kitchen to feed so few. Besides, back when we had more family members alive our dinners were the unscripted versions of what you saw on The Jerry Springer Show in the 90s. I'm too old for that shit.

Today is also the day when it's okay to put up the Christmas tree, start streaming holiday music, and laugh at people fighting over an $89 65" big screen TV that's going to last two years tops. 

I know I'd be stating the obvious here but I'm thankful I stopped working retail two decades ago, back when everyone closed their stores on this special day.

For those who celebrate, Happy John Madden Appreciation Day! I know there's gotta be at least one other person besides me that's thinking about the late, legendary Oakland Raiders coach and CBS broadcaster today.
