Just got busier. My FIL usually goes to his other sons for Thanksgiving and we do Christmas as his place. Jon and I stay home for Thanksgiving and I make us a holiday dinner. The other brothers wife is having surgery tomorrow to repair some childbirth problems from when she had her last baby back in Sept. So my FIL and I are fixing the Thanksgiving dinner. He wants turkey, ham and fish prepared along with other stuff. He told me on the phone he had a list for me. I told him it would be a couple of days before I could get his list unless he wants a sore throat. There is never a good time to get sick but this ear & throat thing I have showed up at a rotten time. :mad:
Im getting better but it is slow going and I wont go out when Im sick unless I really have to. I do not want to spread this thing around to any one else.

They are giving 2-3 inches of snow for tonight and the temp is supposed to go down to 28. Should be a slippery ride for my BIL and his wife in the morning. They have to be at the hospital at 6am. My MIL is supposed to go to their house in the morning to sit with their 2 month old baby while her Mama goes in for surgery.

I feel for you. Last year I got sick over Christmas. I had my whole family coming over and ended up really sick with a 104 degree fever. My sweet husband helped with the cleaning and decorating since I had to lay down and take a nap for every half hour of work. I got Christmas dinner done but I had to shorten the menu severely. This year I got a flu shot. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Usually every Thanksgiving and Christmas I get sick....like clockwork...Last yr Dr gave me the the pneumonia vaccine because I had pneumonia last three winters in a row.Having Asthma and getting pmeumonia or any respiratory infection is tough. My hubby and I both have been sick with this crud for a week now so I know how you feel Janie.Dr wants me to get over this latest infection before he gives the Flu shot......I really dislike Winter !
Hope all goes well with your sister in law.

And here I thought I was the only one with an adversion to winter! This is how winter affects me :mad: No Kidding = HELP I NEED SUNSHINE AND LOTS OF WARMTH!!!!

The holidays have almost become depressing for me these years. Both parents are now deceased and no relatives around. For years I traveled with my parents to Northern California for Thanksgiving and to sell crafts at a holiday boutique. Then for Christmas we drove to Salt Lake City for the other relatives. Now everyone is either deceased or moved to the four winds and the younger people are not interested in coming together.

Times have changed.
