Feel like I can breathe again

After the last few weeks, I'm finally starting to feel as though I can breathe freely again. It's nice to have two full days in a row off work, but even these aren't exactly relaxing. Yesterday there were two doctor appointments to shuffle to, and today HT is home sick. Fortunately he doesn't seem to have the stomach flu (although he has mentioned his stomach hurting) nor is he running a fever. However, he has ZERO energy. It's been years since I've seen him this lethargic. Hopefully a day of rest will have him back to his old self again soon!

I'm so looking forward to this weekend. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and there is so much for which to be thankful. Last week my husband lost his aunt, and we lost my mother's best friend, who was like a member of the family. I'm so grateful that we both have our parents and that I still have both of my grandmothers. This year we are spending thanksgiving with my dad's side of the family. I haven't spent Thanksgiving with them since 2001. My grandfather was still alive then, and they hadn't even yet moved to the retirement community. I can't believe it's been that long since I celebrated with that side! This evening my husband and I are going to see Les Miserables and have dinner out with my mother and sister. Friday my mother's side of the family is getting together for a family outing to the newest Muppet movie, then we are gathering with friends to visit with our friends in from out of town. Saturday is the OSU/Michigan game, and hopefully our Christmas decorations will be up over the weekend. In spite of the many plans that we have, I'm so blessed to be able to do so many things with friends and family!
