Got up early to put the bird in the oven and then went back to my bedroom to binge watch old Cold Case episodes until everyone else woke up. Hubby had to work today, so we had an early dinner with us, my sister and my son who is temporarily living with us. Then helped my sis with her computer issues; found multiple poems (she is a poet) in multiple folders - she never has figured out the difference between "save" and "save as", so her poems are all over the place on her computer, lol.
All other family members are in South Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, Texas, New Jersey, and Kentucky. Some are on lockdown (Kentucky), some are working, etc. My brother is dealing with his first holiday without his wife (she died from Covid last month) but seems to be holding on ok. My uncle in New Jersey is recovery from cancer surgery. My daughter in Kentucky last week had to put her 16 year old son in a facility for adolescents with autism, and then the lockdown happened. He does not talk on the phone and is skittish about Skype, so I am not sure what they will do for the holiday. Her oldest is still doing the virtual class thing (he is a freshmen engineering student at UK) so he is at least at home, along with her other kids (20, 15, and 8).
My husband and I are just thankful that we are both ok and he returned to work last week after being off for four months or so with recovery from rotator cuff surgery. We have been lucky we had my inheritance from my mom who passed this February to help us make it through without too much trouble. His parents and brother in South Dakota have been in constant quarantine since this all began due to his brother's chemo for skin, lung, and brain cancer; his mother's semi quarterly doctor visits from her colon cancer, and his father has Bell's palsy.
My team has been dismal this year, too. Did I mention 2020 has sucked beyond belief? Keeping our fingers crossed for a better year next year.
Everyone stay safe and enjoy the holiday.
