Thanksgiving

We have been receiving meals from friends. A consistent outpouring that has really lightened the load. Killian has requested that I cook for Thanksgiving, though. It makes me happy that he's requested specific dishes he feels are traditional musts (chestnut stuffing, my gravy, a turkey from a local turkey farm...)

Lucia and Cally had the "ultimate sleepover" this past weekend. Everything was precisely timed, as there were so many activities they needed to cover. They included Killian in the sleepover. He received a facial and danced at their dance party, but declined their offer of a makeover.

He's been feeling pretty good. We have a wider variety of pain meds at our disposal and feel confident that we can get through Thanksgiving without pain. We're also hoping for a stay from the bleeding and hospitalizations. We will give thanks regardless. We're thankful for all who read this. We're thankful for the love that visits us daily. We're thankful for the music, music, music that connects us and helps us boogie. 

To replicate the sleepover vibe: listen to "Idiot Boyfriend" by Jimmy Fallon while enjoying a facial mask with chilled cucumbers over your eyes. Niiiiiiiice.
