Long day…

So, woke up and went to work today.

Day six of eleven.

*sigh*

So, I went to work. I thought I might be able to get off early. Not so much. One girl called in sick and couldn’t be completely replaced. And the person I asked to relieve me couldn’t stay.

So I worked all day.

Then dinner with Kate. Pizza Hut stuffed crust. Yum.

Boy did I eat too much, though. Icky tummy.

Then, off to Acton (no, it’s not worth the drive!) for a union strike vote.

The company is offering shit, so we voted for strike.

This does NOT mean we’re going on strike!

It’s just a way to get them back to the table. Hopefully more reasonably.

Still sick.

*sigh*

Coughing until I choke, on occasion.

Stupid high blood pressure makes taking medication ridiculously difficult.

I’ve been sick most of the fall. Unbelievable. I NEVER get sick. It’s like this is my punishment for not getting sick often.

Hopefully I get better soon. If I don’t, I guess it’s back to the doctor for me.

*sigh*

I’d better be better by the weekend, since I’m supposed to cook a turkey for my family on Saturday…

So, for this turkey dinner, I’m thinking of changing it up.

I found a recipe for an apple cider glazed turkey. It sounds yummy, so I’m thinking of going that route.

Unless my brother will freak out.

He’s the one I have to convince. lol

I always thought *I* was the stickler for tradition. Turns out it’s my brother.

I’m going to try for compromise. I’ll still make the Cauliflower Cheese Puff and a veggie of his choice. But that means that the turkey will be unstuffed and seasoned as I like.

Sound reasonable?

I think so.

I’m planning a much lighter (work-wise) dinner than the one I’ll do at Christmas. Only one pie. I may or may not make fresh bread/rolls. Depends on energy level.

I’m going to make a Graham Cracker Pie. It was my grandfather’s favourite. I think the family can agree on it.

Maybe not Jen, but that might be because she hasn’t had it yet. It’s yummy.

Cranberry sauce is a must. Dad’ll get the remainder for his ice cream, I’m sure. Potatoes. Maybe broccoli. Brussel sprouts are the plan. I have a couple of recipes that look interesting. Some of them involve bacon.

What do you think? Sound good?
