My doctor put me on prednisone to try to get me through this breathing crisis. Among the myriad of side effects, is...how can I say...emotional volatility.

Perfect for a big family Thanksgiving!

I, of course, will warn everyone to be very nice to me.

My plan is to spend the entire holiday laying on the floor playing with my nephew, Daniel.

I will also be watching a minimum of three football games with my son, Morgan.

Haley, Annie and I will be attempting to continue with my late Grannie's tradition of making peaches and pears filled with cream cheese and a cherry on the top. The only thing we cannot duplicate is the leaky dish she used to bring it in and the inevitably soggy Reader's Digest that my Grandpa would hand me.

I have been tempted to buy a Reader's Digest and pour the cherry juice on just to make it like old times, but I don't know if that would offend my dad.

They also used to give me a quarter with the admonishment not to "spend it all in one place."

Oh dear, I think the emotional volatility is kicking in. I feel like I am gonna cry thinking about them.

Anyway, I better go be emotional offline...hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving...:)
