My turkey dinner came out great, but it was a lot more stressful than I expected it to be. For one thing, my dad and brother arrived 40 mins early. I thought I specifically said to come by 4:30 pm, but they arrived at 3:50 pm. Also, my turkey took much longer than I expected and I initially put the thermometer probe in the wrong place thinking it was going to be ready far too early. Way wrong!

I was disappointed that my dad asked for alcoholic drinks. I hadn't planned to offer/serve any.

I'm beat and it's only 7:30 pm. Hubby and I did a lot of cleaning up. Thankfully hubby will finish up with the remaining dishes.

I looked at myself in the mirror wearing only undergarments. I have really packed on pounds. I have to do something serious about this. At the very minimum I need to lose 10 lbs. Ideally I should lose 20, and that's to just barely reach a normal BMI, though that is a reasonable weight for me.
