Thank you SO much for caring.....
It's really rough right now... for the most part, this group is my "shoulder", besides my pals.... but, for the first time in my life, I haven't run to food to get me through a problem..... infact, I haven't even thought about food, it's funny, I run for my bottle of water... the other day I was so weak and just had no strength at all, I think it was Sunday, later that evening I was talking to Tracie, and she diagnosed me as not having enough water, it was then that I thought, "I hadn't had any water at all!!!" My mind had been so wound up in what was going on here that I hadn't even thought about what I was supposed to be doing, let alone eating.... HA! when has that ever happened!
At this point in our lives, John and I really don't know what we're going to do, financially, when he went back to work, we thought things would be wonderful, they always have been, when you work at the same job for 25 years, you just expect it to be, but, now, he's at a new job, and the pay is almost half of what it was and our obligations have not changed and we just don't know what will occur next month, or each month after that.... we have to wait until the temp for hire period is over to see what they will raise his wages to and go from there, until then, his dad has said, " don't worry, we'll get through this"... so, that's what we're going to do.... "not worry"....
But thank you my friend, I appreciate you very much for your caring heart.....
BIG hugs!!!!! And lots of love~
