Meds and Turkey

Well, I have officially made one of the most grown-up (in other words, scary) decisions I have made my entire life: I started on anti-depressants.  I'm on a one-month trial of it, and I'm two days in.  There are only a few people that know about it, but I'm sure the people who don't would be very pleased to know that I am taking their advice.

Obviously they won't have a very noticeable affect on me for awhile (3 to 4 weeks, they said), but I'm really hoping it goes well.  Yesterday surprised me a little though.  I decided to lay down for awhile, after a night of bad sleep, and I ended up passing out for almost three hours.  That's pretty insane, considering the longest I ever usually nap is an hour, not even.  And then of course I got a shitty sleep last night, thanks to all the sleeping from the day before.


Anyway, that said, I need some advice from whoever reads this!

I am thinking of doing my very first Thanksgiving this year.  It's getting to be a little late to think about it, since Thansgiving is like... three weeks away, but I guess that's still enough time, considering it'd probably just be Richard and I, so I wouldn't have to make a whole ton of food.

So here's what I need advice on: How hard is it to do a turkey dinner for the first time?  I'm just thinking a small turkey (considering there'd just be two of us), mashed potatoes (we're talkin' from a box), stuffing (again, from a box), some veggies (frozen, of course), and pie (probably store-bought, even though I am very anti-store bought pie). So does it sound do-able?

I know comments aren't working on here for some reason... but given that most of you who actually read this are my friends elsewhere, your advice would be greatly appreciated!

I know you don't know me but I lurk some of the threads on Gaia that you post in and just wanted to say I'm proud of you for taking the first step in getting yourself on the right track and getting on anti-depressants,I'm rooting for you that they are the right ones and will work well for you,I should be going on anti-depressants myself and I'm scared to do it too but to see someone else do it gives me a kinda push to look into it more,as for the Thanksgiving dinner I'd think it's doable I wish you luck :)
