    Morning all
    Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I went to my best friends house for dinner. We went to a senior center in the afternoon and served them a wonderful dinner. Jon went with me and was very good with the old folks and at the dinner with my friend and all her family. I have been going there for many years and it was very strange to be there without hubbs but I survived and next hurdle is Christmas. sigh...

      I am depressed, Nora. I feel like I'm going nowhere fast with this job hunt.

      Liz, hang in there. I know how hard the parent stuff is.

      Guess I'll head to the gym and try to get my endorphins going.

        NORA!!!

        There's birthday cake for Nora being served in the Café all day for Nora! Give her a :hug: and wish her Happy Birthday!
        Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
        Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
        Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

                Happy Birthday sweet Nora!
                Fenny - I can't remember....do you take anti depressants?
                Just in from my sales pitch and it went well. Yes, Nora, I am trying to get them to hire us to manage their property.
                I still have a headache. Guess it sinuses.
                Good to see you Lizz and Pauly and Dots.
                Hope you survive the afternoon Lizz. It's so hard.
                Love you all
                I love my family more than alcohol.:h

                      Hello everyone!!

                      Thank you for the birthday wishes and the wonderful cakes. I'm going to head over to the cafe with them so hope everyone joins me.

                      Got up and got ready for work. Decided that I felt crummy and better go to the Dr instead. So, I got some antibiotics and some cough med. Will be good as new.

                      It was really nice when my Doctor asked me how I was doing with all the stress of bringing Mom home, etc. I was able to say that I have not been drinking at all. It was a great feeling.

                      Well - just as I typed this, my brother stopped by. Guess what he brought me.......a small double shot bottle of tequila. :ambivalence: I just laughed and thanked him. As soon as he left, I poured it down the sink. I told hubs that my brother doesn't know and I didn't feel like sharing with him. I personally think that my brother is an alcoholic himself. He also brought over a tall bud that he drank while he was here.

                        So, Pauly had me thinking and I started looking thru old posts. Then we were talking about not drinking when taking care of a parent at the end, etc. So, I looked back to after my Dad died. I saw that had been doing ok before and then I did ok during and after. But, I think that I completely let my guard down and just gave up trying. In a span of 4-5 months, we lost my Dad, my Uncle (Dad's brother), my Aunt (Dad's sister) and my cousin (Dad's nephew). I used all of that as an excuse to drink. Well - no more. That is not an option and I just need to remember that.

                        Ok - enough serious thoughts.......it's a birthday party.

                          Where's Rusty? Did I miss her?

                          Mama - glad that your sales pitch went well. What's the latest on the house? Do you have another meeting set up with the attorneys?

                          Liz - how did it go today? I'm sure it wasn't easy.

                          Pauly - how are you doing - all decorated now? I keep thinking about your Charlie Brown tree. I think those are the cutest ones. So full of character.

                          Fen - you have been on my mind so much. I can totally understand you being depressed about the whole job thing. We are at that age where it is not as easy anymore. But, you are such an intelligent, personable person that I know the right job will come around. :hug: I'm sure that everything is so hard right now. I love you friend.

                            Molly - thank you so much for the Happy Thanksgiving wishes. I kept meaning to post to you but with everything that has been going on, I never did it.

                            JC - Love my cake. Thank you!

                            Jane - thank you for being such a great support to me. It's great following your lead.

                              Nora, I meant to ask how your mom is doing now?

                                Thanks for asking Cowboy. She's still got such a sore tailbone. She didn't fall on it but she sat on that hard floor for probably half an hour and I think she is bruised. She is doing ok. Confused which breaks my heart but she is such a happy, loving person. I want to be my Mom when I grow up.
