Gluttony and what else this week?
Where are these days flying to? Its the week of November 23 and time to check in.... tell us what you have planned for the week.
I know those of us in the US will be feasting on assorted favorite foods this Thursday and spending some time reflecting on what we are thankful for. This is one day a year when overeating is encouraged and cheered.
What is everyone up to this week... doctor appointments, tests, how big is your turkey..... anything is fair game to share.
wishing everyone a peaceful week,
Lulu

Thankful as can be here. It has been a terribly difficult year, but God has balanced that by giving me richer blessings than I thought possible. High on that list is this forum, as so many have already said.
Taking Wednesday off. We're leaving before sunrise to drive to NC (near Hickory, somewhere NW of Charlotte, I think; I guess there are two Hickorys) to spend the evening and Thursday with Nancy's stepdad. This will be their first Thanksgiving without her mother. On Friday, as we drive back, we'll be celebrating stepson Tim's 14th birthday. Both ways I'll be working on writing a sermon and preparing worship music; thankful that my new car has a 115V outlet built into the dashboard so I can use the church's laptop, which no longer charges its' battery.
Annie and Bandit will spend the time at Bandit's groomer's place, where they will have a good half dozen or more extra playmates. He's really due for a cleanup anyway.
Saturday, finishing the church prep, and having 1 or 2 of Nancy's 3 adult kids over for more turkey. This could involve 4 or 5 grandcritters.
Sunday, Nancy's planning to sing a solo at church, a joy I've yet to experience. After church, we go to my youngest brother's to celebrate Thanksgiving with my 5 siblings, as well as their 3 spouses and an unpredictable number of their progeny, who I think could number as many as a dozen if we end up plugging stepgrandchildren into the equation. Part of this tradition is exchanging names among the adults for Christmas gifts; none of us could afford much at all if each household to tried to buy for all the others.
Monday, back to work, thankful for it while it lasts, and looking for the next door God will open.
Peace and blessings to all of you wonderful folks.

We dont cellebrate thanks giving in OZ but i sure like the idea of getting together with those you hold dear and cellebrate living, nice to think of everything that you may take for granted and take the opportunity to be thankful for what you have, as i said i like the idea for sure!!!
What am I doing this week, hmmmm trying to get up the nerve to go see my GP, my results are in from the LP and i'm now in a wee bit of trouble with my circulation. As much as i'd like it to go away its only getting worse, cant use my left arm now so its time to face it, although i sure dont want to but i think i really must get some help even if i cant YET get the answer to the question. lol
We've had a few visitors because my little man turned 12, so i've been doing a fare bit of entertaining which also means constant comments about my legs being purple. I just tell them its not really happening, its a figment of my imagination and if they can see it that means i've coerced them into seeing things too ROFL.
I'm tired, dont know if being so tired is making it harder to get up the energy to see the Dr if all i'm going to get is the usual big fat nothing, l feel that this one last thing is holding me back and its time for this fatigue anchor to nick off and let me get on with living. Shhheeeesh i've had enough!!!!
This week i plan to be thankful for my family, couragous and brave people one and all.
Cheers......JJ

I work Mon-Wed and then am on vacation until Dec 7th!! I plan to sleep in and live in sweatpants the entire time. I might paint the living room if I feel up to it but I'm not going to pressure myself. I see several naps with my doggies in my future :)
This year I am epecially thankful for NORD. I've done 6 Copaxone injections so far and they are going better than I ever imagined. I need my sister's help for my hips and she tends to pull the needle out badly but we're working on that.

I realized after I left a message for Lulu, that it might have seemed that I was slighting the other CL's. I didn't mean to do that, my fine ladies. To Ess, Shell and Momma Bear, I hope you all know how much I love you too and so appreciate everything that you do on this Forum.
I've been a CL and I certainly know how much hard work it is. Especially when you are volunteers. I love you all, my great ladies and appreciate all you do for others, so unselfishly. What would we do with out all of you? I give my heart and many hugs to all our great CL's. What a Forum. It's the best.
Super Hugs for our CL's, Forum family. They are the most unselfish, caring people that we could have, guiding this group along everyday.
All my Love,
Heather

Monday Polly to the Vet and look at a Space to hang an Art Show for December
Wednesday driving up to spend Turkey day with my Brother and his wife. The Subaru loaded with food and three large dogs. An adventure to be sure.
I am thankful for good friends here and on the forum. I am thankful for Polly helping get around better. I am thankful for my family. I am thankful for this disease making me truly live in today and not take anything for granted. Most of all I am thankful our lawmakers are allowing a discussion of health care reform. I was biting my nails
watching CSPAN Saturday night.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Well lets see. This week I start back on my PT for my knee. This week it will be on Monday & Tuesday due to the short week. For turkey day I will probably just go to Shoney's for their buffet since I have no family around here. I sure miss making a nice turkey day dinner with all of the fixings. But it is just too much to do for just me, myself, and I.

Double Ditto!
Tuesday I drive my roommate to the airport in the morning, give myself my Avonex inj. in the evening, without benefit of Advil.
As for gluttony, due to some issues from my colonoscopy, I'll be either on clear liquids or light diet, which means stuff like mashed potatoes, chicken noodle or cream of mushroom soup, maybe a fruit smoothy, depending on what my stomach can handle.
If I feel better (and I hope I do!) I'll call my roommate's 89 yr. old mom and ask if she would like company, since she's all alone this Thanksgiving.
Saturday night I pick up my roommate from the airport.
Please, would someone enjoy some yummy food for me? :o)

A big DITTO for the kudos to Lu!
My schedule?
Driving test on Wednesday, which I will likely postpone.
Mainly gluttony for the rest of the week.
