It's Tuesday, It's 4AM, time for the what's new revue!!
Hi George and my OFF family:
That's great about your son. You have good reason to be proud of him.
I have a trip planned to, but it's not as exciting ... I'm just going to Hartford, WI, just north of Milwaukee, to take care of my brother when he has his neck surgery. It's the week of Nov. 15 (his surgery is Nov. 17). He took care of me when I had my knee surgery the first time, so it's the least I can do. I had planned to use that last week of vacation to sit around the house the week before Christmas but, oh well, you have to help out family ... Gary and I are the only singles in the family (we don't count my sister, because she wouldn't help either of us out; she didn't even help out my mother when she fell until she was shamed into it by my sister-in-law).
Yesterday was pretty much a do-nothing day, although I did get the turkey roll-ups made. I still didn't get the Halloween stuff put away; I'll try to do some of that this afternoon before I go to work. There's not a lot, it's just labor-intensive and then my back hurts. And my back already hurts because the weather is changing. It's much colder this morning. Anyway, watched the World Series, then the end of the football game, read in bed ... I'm reading "Brothers" ... it's about Bobby and John Kennedy, and how Bobby suspected a conspiracy in JFK's death. Very interesting, but very involved and often when I start reading it, I get drowsy.
Back to work tonight; I was looking and thinking, oh, this is an election night, but then I realized, I wouldn't be involved in any of that any more.
Anyway, have a good day.

Hi George and all my OFF friends,
Your son is doing great and you have quite a lot to be proud of. It's nice he will get rewarded financially. Thanks for pointing us to Linda S's post. So glad to hear from her.
Susan, I hope all goes well tonight. I also have son and daughter-in-law problems and it gives me a knotted up stomach. It's very hard to broach wrongdoings towards hubby and me by my daughter-in-law because I do have grandchildren. We are stifled by the threat of repercussions that will affect our seeing our grandchildren. So I just remain heartbroken.
For all of you afflicted with health problems, I hope all is well soon.
I'm in a funky place. Not too happy with Hubby and contemplating the "d" word. We have a long history together and as some of you know, it's very complicated and will cause a big change. So I'm being a bit of a coward about it.
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and getting to see the grands for 36 hours before they head off to the in-laws for three days.
I'm a very caring, nurturing person and these days I'm beginning to notice how much it is not reciprocated. Wondering why I did so much for people I love and they don't give me a thought. Makes me feel like a chump and I should stop. But I don't want to turn into a bitter person either. I guess you could say I'm depressed about it. It makes me want to eat and that is scary. I keep having the mental conversation that eating won't fix anything, but there is a comfort aspect to eating that is hard to fight. I'm still a sick puppy when it comes to eating.
It's nice to have y'all to come to and vent to. Thanks.
Have a great day.

Yeah, I know how you feel, Bev. I feel the same way about my job situation. I gave a lot to that place and got a kick in the ass. I still have the stress eating going on a bit too ... which is why I still see my psychologist. I know I still have the problems, the addiction. As others have said, they fixed our stomachs, not our minds.
Please come and vent to us. It's what helps us get through our tough times. If I didn't have all of you, I wouldn't get through what I'm going through now.
I still appreciate your kindness and will always remember it. Some day I'll pay it forward.
