Well I am thankful I didn’t wake up with the ear ache and sore throat I felt coming on when I went to bed. I’ve been blessed that I have stayed well despite many around me suffering different ailments. Ok there was that one 24 hour stomach bug in Kabul but that hardly counts.
The US DFAC decided that they would allow our coalition partners a one hour time span for Thanksgiving lunch and 3 ½ hours for the Americans. Problem is there are more of them here than us. Another problem is the guys I eat with are German. Then there was the weather. I am glad the Americans I know enjoyed their turkey and all, but they were also soaked to the bone from standing in the rain (for a minimum of 30 minutes for those who ate really late and at least an hour for others) waiting for that bird.
Anyways, my friends and I decided on the German DFAC. They enjoyed the cabbage rolls, me I just made sandwiches with rolls, cold cuts, and cheese. But they did have potato balls which made me happy. So I was thankful that I remained dry (and probably stayed away from pneumonia or something) and I could share another meal with my friends.
