Preparing for Thanksgiving

Wow, an intern mentioned Thanksgiving tomorrow. I never thought of inviting the interns to experience their 1st American Thanksgiving dinner with my family or take them Black Friday shopping. Been dealing with getting ready for Black Friday on my online shop, going on 3 interviews, visiting Mom in the hospital who will be going to skilled care, then working myself. The intern commented how manager cut them down to 20 hours a week and unsure how they will pay bills now. Welcome to my world. At least I have PTO to use to make up lost hours. I suggested asking to work in banquets or the kitchen to get hours.

I spent hours in the kitchen cooking a turkey, stuffing, turkey gravy, and cornbread for Thanksgiving day. Used up the butter making stuffing so bought more so roommate can make mashed potatoes tomorrow. Then roommate complains for me to do the dishes. The sink is full and my dirty dishes from cooking for 6 hours are on the counter. I spent hours driving them aroudn town to donate plasma so they can buy a vapor, then cooked for 6 hours. Sorry, dishes will wait. I'm pooped.

Turkey was moist and delicious. Roommate refuses to eat it cause I cooked it witht the organ bag inside. I'm sorry the inside was stll frozen (I thawed it for 3 days int eh fridge) and legs with tied down with a piece a plastic so couldn't get it out before cooking. He complained it's processed turkey not real turkey. Excuse me, what kind of turkey did he expect coming from a grocery store? We don't have wild turkeys here roaming around to shoot, except for the whiskey brand.
