The box set of The Sopranos replaced gambling for me , for a while , Libbie. I treated myself to it and got hooked. The only time I would watch it was with hubby and son. I never watch TV or DVDs alone. I very seldom watch TV. I suppose I was too busy "watching" slot machines…The Sopranos sure provides a buzz….my daughter bought me Mad Men. I watch it occasionally, but Im not hooked on it. I would love to see Downton Abbey. When winter sets in , I will get the set.
About my retirement thoughts, Libbie. I have given over 8 years to this job. The workload is increasing. The hours are increasing. The annual leave is being reduced. My boss is leaving . My health is below par. I’m getting old!. These would be my reasons for leaving. When I get some sleep, I will post my reasons for staying….
I won’t make any hasty decisions, but a Cat said, God shows us when the time is right. I believe that. There are ways we learn how to "read the sign of the *****" . It comes with life’s experience.
Gambling has cost me sooo much. I have worked for nothing for the past 8 years. It all went on debt repayment and I still owe over 40 grand!
I will think about that tomorrow!
It’s 1 am now!
Don’t bother travelling that distance to gamble Libbe. Think of that lonely drive home!
