I hate today

Today, is my hardest day of the year.
As I've stated, it's my KB, ( kitchen bitch) day. Turkeys doing great, just pulled my dough, and pounded it as it rises again, to make cinnamon rolls, for the 4 PM meal
I had gastric bypass, ( Rouen, the big one) 13 years ago, I take my surgery seriously.
I coded twice, since I had the surgery, now, very basic cinnamon rolls, Carmel sauce( home made, very simple) drizzled over top.
So why do I hate today?
4 pm, the dinner.
The people,
I'll eat what I normally eat, 3 Oz of turkey, a spoon of green bean casserole.
And spend, the next 2 hours, answering, the personal , questions.
As I said , I live in MAGA land.
I hate today.

1. I'm sorry. What a survivor you are! And making food for others, an act of profound kindness. You are a good person.

We will be selling at a holiday art and craft show black Friday to Sunday.

We have a chicken and basics for tonight. We sometimes would go to the in laws but 90 percent are maga just not dealing with them anymore especially my wifes ignorant brother.

Next week we will do a big spread with a small amount of family and friends.

3. Among other things about aging, we notice we can't eat as much in one sitting as we used to.

I had gastric bypass years ago, I weighed 457 at my highest. Haven't been over 200 since.
Today's sucks, because, it's all about eating. My camp ground neighbor saved me.
She knocked on my door, woke me, and in my fog, finished the turkeys, and asked,
" you had cinnamon rolls, let's make them, rolls are only good, fresh baked "
And she did. In my kitchen,
She rolled out the dough, she asked questions, where's sugar? Where's butter, etc.
And she left my kitchen, cleaner, than new,
She spent 3 hours this morning, covering my ass,,
When she left, she hugged me me and said,," I know you can't eat today, because of you cancer, but you just, fed , the campground, with your brain"

I wish , she , wasn't married
I havent felt this loved, since Lil. Left.

And my kitchen is spotless
