Update from Trumann

This past week I have worked at the Trumann clinic and it has not been lacking in entertainment. People in this town don't even know their own phone numbers. And if they do their phones are disconnected almost immediately after they leave so there is still no way of contacting them. One lady called this morning to ask us to give her the phone number of the patient she talked with in the waiting room yesterday. We had to explain to her that, this may be a small town but that was still against the law.
The lack of patients has given me the opportunity to write today even though I obviously have nothing to write about. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I am very excited although I am slightly uneasy about the fact that my sister has been put in charge of both turkey & dressing for tomorrow and seeing as how that is my favorite part of the meal, I'm not sure I'm ok with it. My only hope is that she does not decide to get creative with the dressing.
I love Thanksgiving because I love being with my family. For that day we just are excited to be in each other's company. It's not like Christmas when the togetherness is overshadowed by who got whom what. We just eat, play games, watch movies, and of course we talk. We are a talking bunch, my family and I. All this to say that I am very happy that tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday. I may not agree wholeheartedly with all of my family's thoughts & ideas, but I truly enjoy spending time with them, especially during the holidays.
