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.

The fact you made an excellent turkey dinner with so many anxiety inducing issues coming up is fantastic! I'm glad you made it through, and hopefully enjoyed a little of it as well.
