Thanksgivukkah?

Hello everyone and happy Thanksgiving (those from America and Canada) I'm sure it's probably a regular day in other countries and Thanksgiving for Canada was last month as I heard from a Canadian friend of mine. OR~ maybe it's a special occasion. Maybe it's someone's birthday (Happy Birthday if it's anyone's today) or it's probably Hanukkah. Yes, it's Hanukkah. Now, I'm Latina so I know I'm not Jewish but I do know that I am culture-friendly as well as religion-friendly. As I was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, I noticed that one of the floats was a dreidel. Then I thought "When is Hanukkah?" I recently found out that Hanukkah started yesterday at sunset and overlapped Thanksgiving. I remember reading an article about it. Hmm... something about Thankgiving being on the 4th Thursday and Hanukkah being on the 24th? I don't exactly remember but I thought it was a little funny when they called it Thanksgivukkah. That's nice. Say that to a Jewish friend, will you? "Hey! Happy Thanksgivukkah!" Of course, they say that this won't occur again; like I said, something about the Hebrew calendar and our calendar. I don't know.

Sorry I haven't been posting a lot. There is a lot of school to be catching up on because I've been in the ER more frequently. And doctors STILL cannot find a thing. They say it's all in my head. Really? Then why am I losing weight fast and having constant stomach pain, along with nausea? And don't say it's anxiety! I get it! I have GAD. I know, but this isn't because of anxiety or stress. I know I have something and my friends can see it too. Ever time I walk through the doors of my school, my friends notice how I look. Clothing wise? Probably because they're too big on me NOW. I used to be 160 lbs, now I'm at 130. This isn't good for me because I came from a BIG family. We're all naturally big. But because of my strange illness, I am now the SKINNIEST person in my family. Woop-de-doo. Well, I have an appointment with a GI to have an endoscopy done since the Barium test didn't go too well. I pray that they'll find something. Anything! I just want to eat without getting sick. Hopefully, I can eat today because my mom, like most Puerto Ricans (and any Latinos in general), cooked a LOT of food and I'm hoping to eat, because all I've had in my stomach was a sip of my Powerade. That's it! Lord, let me eat!
