7:15am


I wonder what is up with the township.
Usually at the first sign of a snowflake they are
out in full force all hours of the day and night
clearing roads and/or salting them.
I haven't seen hide nor hair of them and
the roads are very icy here.
Not good when you have stop signs sitting
at the bottom of sloped streets.


8:10am


My goodness.  Going through another hot spell again.
It seems to happen soon after taking ibupfrofen
then eventually goes away.
Then when the ibuprofen wears off I get cold chills.
Got my little table top fan blowing on me.

Just sitting here thinking about things I need
to make for Thanksgiving.
I got homemade noodles to make, ahhh.
This year I'm gonna do something a little different,
I'm making the gravy for the noodles on the side
and won't mix them with the noodles
til after I get to my in-laws.
Last year I mixed everything together the night before
and by the time I got to the in-laws with them
the noodles sucked up all the gravy.
I got all the apples peeled, cored and chopped up.
I had them sitting in a bowl of water with
lemon juice in the fridge.  Today I'll make up
the apple pie dip and then have pie crust cookies to make.
And lastly there's creamed corn which
shouldn't be too hard, just throw all ingredients
in a crock.


9:30am


Well I got the apple pie dip done.
Now if I can just stay out of it, lol, mmm!
I made a triple batch because that's
how much apples I had.

And I got one batch out of about 3-4 batches of homemade noodles
done and hanging to dry.
One problem, the kitty thinks the dangly things
hanging off my cart are strings!!  AHHHH!!



And while one kitty is trying to destroy my noodles
the other one is in the living room tearing up the rug!

Well break time is over.
Gotta keep moving while I feel half way decent.


11:40pm


Pie crust cookies just went into the oven.
I rolled out the pie dough and cut small circles
with a shot glass, brushed each one with milk
and sprinkled a cinnamon-sugar mix on top.
Bake 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes.






12:40pm


Taking a break for a bit before I cook noodles,
make gravy and get the creamed corn ready to make.
I got our turkey out of the freezer and now
have it thawing in the fridge to hopefully
bake this weekend.


1:15pm


I think I'm gonna go lay down and take a nap.
I had part of a cheap little frozen pizza
for lunch and now my stomach is throbbing
and I'm feeling tired.
Hope I'm feeling better later on to get everything finished.
Still worried about our trip to the in-laws tomorrow
and how I'm feeling.
I think I'll pack a little Crohn's survival tote bag with a tub of wipes,
depends, ibuprofen, chapstick, eye drops, gatorade, 
anti-diarrheal medicine, etc.
It sucks being like this!
The trip is like an hour and a half long to get there.
And when we get there, there's gonna be a house
full of people with only one bathroom.
At home when the feeling strikes to go potty
I have a matter of seconds to get to the bathroom
or else there's gonna be an accident.
It's embarrassing but I feel like others
need to know what Crohn's diseased people
go through to help better understand them.
