No Creative Title

Happy Saturday..... I finally decided to wake up and start my day...at 9:30.... I have to say I am completely worn out... Prior to Thanksgiving... I had been taking a nap every day.... I am slowly regaining my energy!
I have had many people ask how Thanksgiving went and what I ate.... Honestly.... I have never really focused on the food on Thanksgiving... I truly just love spending time with family. It is always held at my mom's house which is very fun! Prior to going to mom's... I packed my little cooler with my meds and vitamins as well as my food and liquids.... I helped mom in the kitchen most of the day... hung out with my aunt, uncle and cousins... and grandma as well... It was so nice to see everyone. It was also nice to hear the compliments.... People kept saying I looked so healthy-including my complexion... obviously a 20+ pound weight loss does not hurt that either!
I was immersed in the food all day and did not crave anything. It was odd because for some reason I did not even smell it. The only thing that somewhat effected me was my aunt's cheese ball... I LOVE this.... I looked at it... then remembered that eating even a bite would have me visiting the porcelain gods and maybe ER... so that was a 15 second thought. I ate my applesauce and pudding... and that was the end... It did not effect me in the least!
I stayed at mom's house and got up early for Black Friday with mom and grandma. We always have soo much fun! I was a little slower getting up... and had to pack vitamins and liquids... but it was fun! We came back about 9:30 so I could eat my applesauce and I decided to stay back... Okay... it was a little planned... Matt was coming over so we could surprise mom by decorating the outside of the house.
We had to tell a few fibs to keep mom from finding out what we were doing. We had shopped for outside decor and lights throughout the week. Thanksgiving Day we had to sneak outside so I could put things in his car... so mom did not see them in mine. Well... I told mom that Matt was coming over to her house to watch a holiday movie with me. Oooopsie... Not quite the truth... but it worked!
We put up twinkling icicle lights... red lights around the door and garage- my dad used to always to this and add a couple of yard ornaments and call it done- We put lights on the big tree bushes... nets on the small bushes.... tree stakes along the front bed... snowman twinkling stakes around the tree... a moving flamingo... a Snoopy yard thing... a train yard thing... a blow up reindeer... a cube snowman... another Snoopy... another Snowman.... Santa on the window... decorated the light pole and put a snowman next to it... I might be missing something....
Mom and grandma got home when we were at Lowe's getting more lights... She called and was truly shocked! We DID IT!! We surprised the heck out of her! She kept going outside last night to look at it! This was the point... Our goal this year is to show her how much we care! So far so good...
I came home last night... had to get in a little more fluids and protein... I am still not getting in 60+ grams of protein... but am getting at least half... I will continue to try.... I just keep gagging... it is just NASTY... I have to find something.... Needless to say... today I am exhausted.... but it was all well worth it!

Happy start of the holidays!
