Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!!

I love any holiday that has a combination of food and family. It just doesn't get better. And since I, by some act of a higher force, have Thanksgiving Day off, I decided that I would take on THE THANKSGIVING DINNER! I am so excited. I already have the stuffing prepped, it's just gotta get baked tomorrow. I'm doing Paprika Thyme Turkey, Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes, Brown Sugar Sweet Potatoes, Tiny Little Peas, Garlic Almond Green Beans, and I'm making the Gravy from scratch. :) I am so very excited. I just love to cook. I hope I never get sick of it.
Not to mention, Jerry has the day off tomorrow, too, so we get to wake up with each other (which has been rare lately), and watch the Macy's Parade and then start cookin'! Dinner's at 4:30.

But also, Big Changes... I got the job at Woodlake in Tolland, so I will be a Dietary Aide there. The hours are only 16 hours a week for now, but the HR guy assured me that a 24 hour/week shift should open and there is always opportunities to pick up extra shifts. I am so excited to finally be starting somewhere else, but the low hours means I'm going to definately have to look for another part time job. I gotta start working on that, too. But I did give the PB my notice today. My last day there is the 14th. It's so up in the air if I'm going to get my bonus or not. Our bonuses are based on attendance and I barely called out this year. I would say that since the bonus is based on past performance that she would give it to me, but since I won't be an employee soon, we will see. It depends if she's feeling generous. All I know is, that money would really come in handy.
I just really gotta get out of there. It just my time to be moving on.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to start school this semester because I didn't get all my crap together on time. I just can't afford tutition on my own and it's due on Dec. 12th. Can't come up with 2,800 by then. I have an appointment with an advisor on the 5th, so hopefully I can figure some stuff up.
Anyway, to anyone who reads this insanity I call a blog, Have a Wonderful, Safe Thanksgiving.
