This has to be one of the worst Thanksgivings I could ever remember. Seriously. I don't even know where to begin. Normally, we do Thanksgivings at my grandparents place, but they've been sick lately, and weren't up to doing Thanksgiving, so we had it at my parents place. My sister's FIL is in the hospital, dying basically. He's not in good shape at all, kidney failure, brain swelling, heart failure, basically not a good situation. So his family obviously wasn't up to doing any holidays. So we were still going to do a small lunch/dinner with our family. My other grandma recently broke her arm and refused to come to dinner because she was afraid that her sister would call, and see that she's not at home and get angry. Yep, my grandma is scared of her sister. Then, we get a call from the para my mom works with, who I'm also close to, she insists I call her "Auntie." Well, she's been admitted to the hospital, getting blood transfusions because she was bleeding from places people are not supposed to bleed from.
In the middle of cooking, the water turns brown. There's a lot of construction going on in my neighborhood, so probably one of the pipes broke. But of course, we still had potatoes to boil and veggies to wash, so I ran outside to buy 4 gallons of water. Our potatoes were cooked in Poland Spring water. I come back, go into the guest room where I'm staying since my mom decided to sleep on my bed because she gets too hot at night sleeping next to my dad lately, and there is steam shooting out of the radiator. Yep, the radiator broke.
So yea, not one of the better Thanksgivings. My sister came by because her inlaws don't want her at the hospital, and she didn't want to stay home alone. But why is it that everything just piles up at once?

Sorry.
these sound like really bad thanksgivings. we canceled ours. i am too sick to cook and even if i did, i wouldn't be able to taste anything. 
Awful. I hope everyone will be okay.
