Hi Annie, Karrie and everyone else.

Annie, I hope you have had a good day.  It seems like the longer I am out of control with food the harder it is to get back on any kind of track with it.  Are you still thinking of retiring soon? 

Karrie, my dog seems better.  I just hope she stays that way.  I hope you and your dh go do something nice this weekend and that it helps you to take your mind off of everything.  You deserve to have some fun. 

My oldest son surprised us and came by this evening.  He had worked different hours at work and we had no ideal he was coming home.  I had to cook for dh before he went back to work today and our son ate with us too.  We had a heater we weren't using and ask him if he wanted it and he took it back to his apartment.  I also had a coffee maker I tried to give him but he didn't want it.  Hopefully he will be back on Thanksgiving day and we can all eat together.  Then later on my youngest son called from his dorm.  He sounded good and seemed excited about trying to get a job and talked about moving out on his own with or without roommates.  I want him to stay in college but since he won't I would like for him to live at home and get himself ready money wise to move out but he is going to do what he wants to do.  We will be here to help in what ways we can and if it doesn't work out we will be here to help pick up the pieces.  Maybe something good will come out of all of this in the long run.  So I have been blessed to talk to both the boys and I consider that a good evening.  I got in yds present for Christmas that I am giving him along with his money and got it wrapped and also got fil's gift wrapped.  It kinda makes me feel excited for Christmas.  Well I hope everyone has a good evening.  I am planning on watching some hallmark Christmas movies.
