Happy Thanksgiving

I am "stuffed", totally went off my diet and ate wonderful food until I could not eat anymore. The dessert I baked this morning was absolutely delicious and well worth the two hours it took me to make (I couldn't find my paring knife and had to do the apples with a regular knife, that took an hour alone). I think I fell asleep around 3am last night and woke up at 6:30 this morning (to find a PRESENT in my driveway). My Landlord has given me my own handicapped parking spot with an official sign and everything. I knew he was going to do it I just didn't know when. Thankyou Peter!
Back to right now needless to say I am utterly exhausted by now. I ate a lot of Turkey and it has tryptophan in it.
For many organisms (including humans), tryptophan is an essential amino acid. It is common in many dietary proteins, Turkey included. Many people have found tryptophan to be a safe and reasonably effective sleep aid, as it can be manufactured synthetically as well.
Hence my tired feeling, along with most of the people in our country who ate a big Turkey dinner today. My two nephews were already napping when I left to come home.
I actually had to finish this Post on Friday morning, because I was so tired! Anyway, My Thanksgiving was wonderful, much better than the one that I "missed" when I was in the hospital during my Brain Attack (the one I don't remember). Thank you to all my Family for the unconditional love and support!
I came home to find that my sister Rose had bestowed three awards on me on her Blog. When I figure out how to post 3 at a time I will!
