This will be another sad one for my immediate family after losing our oldest grandson almost 5 months ago.

Christmas won’t be much better.

 

Wishing you and your family a peaceful holiday. It may not help, but I've started trying to remember good times I've had with loved ones that have passed rather than let the sadness of missing them wash over me.

Well, just got a text from the MIL letting us know she's got the stomach bug so we need to stay away. A few hours earlier I picked up the ribeyes and lobster tails. It's looking like a quiet weekend at home for us.

Y'all be safe out there.

Lucky bastard.

All things considered, hell yeah. We were committed to helping the MIL clean the place as the contractors who've been renovating the place over the past 5 months didn't put up room barriers. I was gonna be cleaning ceiling fans, replacing filters, cleaning floors, etc.

Have a chocolate lava cake and apple crumble to add to this. If my family doesn’t eat all of this after I baked all day I’m going to bitch about them.

If you get baked all day, there won't be any left for them.

Mrs. Brat getting the dressing ready today to be baked Thursday while family is arriving. 
It is vegan friendly…..and delicious. 
The little pans are for the kids to take home as leftovers.

The crock mixing bowl dating from 1910 was her grandpa’s.

A half sister whom she’s never met. Lives on Hawaii and is a Jehovah’s Witness.

Have at her if you dare.

Looks like I’ll be the spoiler this holiday….. Have bad stomach cramps off & on plus the shits this morning. 
Made six trips to the toilet so far, and even let loose while taking a shower a little while ago. Am trying to hydrate with Gatorade Zero, but am totally exhausted. Need to sleep.

Sorry about your health. Can I have your share of the dressing? 

Feel better and take care of yourself, AB. If you've got the bug everyone else seems to have you're not in for a fun 48 hours.

Mrs GOTJ has had a stream of texts w/ her mom since last night, trying to get her to go get checked out by a medical professional. She's got a doctor's appointment for next Mon which does her no good seeing as how that would be a week from the onset of her symptoms. She's convinced her to go to an Urgent Care once the contractor finishes up at the house around noon.

A glass of sipping whiskey always clears this type of thing up for me. That and a couple tums or Alka seltzer.

Hang in there, AB.  I hope you recover enough to enjoy your holiday weekend.

I know I’m home when I turn on the TV and it’s already on Fox News at max volume, subtitles on, max brightness.

I'm afraid that now that the Pandemic has settled down, and it isn't a Presidential election year, we aren't gonna get the fireworks we hope for.  Gonna be a down year.

Runoff in Georgia. I’m in Athens. My dad has promised my sister no politics but we’ll see. I’ve already gotten one comment from a stranger that I’m “brave wearin that Georgia Tech shit around here.”

If politics does come up you better ask everyone how they think the erections are going.

Tell them that this oldfart said to turn that gottdamned shit off and visit with the family. 
Their lives will be much more pleasant and they’ll be easier for you yo tolrate.

So Mrs GOTj has been going back & forth all day. Got her mom to go to an urgent care who immediately sent her to the ER since they didn't have imaging capabilities. Turns out nothing viral, just a diverticulitis flare up. We'll find out later tonight if we're doing the out & back tomorrow.

Nothing like a good waffle-stomper to get things going for Thanksgiving.  Hope you recover soon!

Doesn’t sound like he had to stomp much. 

Looking forward to tomorrow’s feast and the updates in this thread.

I will probably not have anything to share unless my roofer brother makes it back to Houston from Orlando unannounced.  Just me, my wife, my parents, and my niece home from college.  My MAGA parents have mellowed a lot and are fully on board with the no Fox News rule while we visit.

No, it was 90% liquid & little bits. No waffling necessary.

Had a scare late this afternoon. After 2 days of prepping nonstop for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow
(And I was sick all morning until mid afternoon, so I didn’t help much with the cleanup as usual), at 5pm Mrs.Brat sat at the breakfast table in what I thought was a catatonic state.
She was mostly unresponsive and just staring. Took her BP and it was high (155/89), her forehead was cold & sweaty. She just sat there for a half hour, then I helped her move to the couch. I thought she might be having a stroke.
Called son to bring something over to eat and to check her out. He & his wife could see something was wrong, so He called 911 and explained to the dispatcher the situation.
First the Sam Bass FD firefighter EMTs showed up followed by the County paramedics.
They checked her over very carefully and noted her blood sugar was low (unusual for her) but all other vital signs were ok except her BP was 196/97.
After having some apple juice & chocolate shake, she began to recover.

They asked if she wanted to be transported to the hospital and of course she declined.
She ate a couple of DQ tacos son had brought and seems almost back to normal.
But son said they were going to do everything tomorrow so she can just sit & watch.

Damn Brat. Hope it’s nothing serious. Good luck with it.

Dang, Brat.  I hope that she gets back to full speed soon.  Having experienced it most of my life I can attest that hypoglycemia can be a bitch.  Hopefully that's all it is.

Praying for the missus Brat. Make her go to the doctor or have your kids do it. No need to take unnecessary risk.

 

Glad that she's on the mend, Brat.  Those are some scary-high BP #'s.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of the Brat clan.

Thoughts, prayers and lots of love to you and the family AB.
