Thanksgiving

Today I tried to bake bacon in the oven, since I need to drastically increase my protien and I've always liked bacon. It burned, and we had to go out to breakfast instead.

By the time we got back, I prepared the marinated vegetables to bring to my Baba's for Thanksgiving Dinner. I knew I wouldn't eat the turkey, and I wanted to make sure I had something I could eat. Not only do I hate turkey, but I hate how it is defrosted by sitting on the back enclosed porch for two to three days first.

By the time we got there, it was 2:45 and I was feeling weak. I was afraid to eat everything. It was all already cold, and bacteria may have already started to grow.

So I ate a few tablespoon-fulls of corn, same with mashed potatoes, put a teaspoon of gravy over them, and then ate some lettuce leaves with a little italian dressing, until my uncle spotted a bug in the bowl. Then I had to stop eating the lettuce. I also ate a piece of bread, and some of my marinated veggetables.

When the pumpkin pie came out, I ate a piece of that, since it is like bread and vegetable. And then I also ate a small slice of the apple pie (bread and fruit). I felt ok, but then all of a sudden, I started feeling weak again, so we had to go home.

I'm trying now to eat the leftover chicken from yesterday with some leftover rice. It is hard. Nothing tastes good and I have no appetite, but I feel sick so I want to eat to feel better. It took me an hour, but I got through a small plate. Now, my husband has re-loaded it to be one of normal portion (taking into consideration what I have already eaten), and I am now working on it. My heart is racing.
