Thanks (((P))) for your supportive post. Ferris and Pablo are fine; they are each other’s best friends. They like each other more than the like me, judging by how much time they spend together. My friend Darlene and I went out for supper last night and then we went to the movie 12 Years a Slave, which was disturbing and raw. She is going to go with me on Monday when I go for my blood tests as I would feel more comforted having someone with me. She said it takes about 15 minutes for them to draw that many vials. I’m trying to decide what I should do today. I’m not going to do any Christmas shopping this year and will give cash gifts instead. I’m not decorating for Christmas either, and I don’t bake anymore. I don’t have any Christmas plans though my daughter has invited me to their home. I know that Danny wants to spend Christmas with me, but I will not be spending it with his family. His brother has told him that he should stop spending time with me, as I’m the one who left him, so it’s obviously over for me. If I choose to spend time with him, it’s not their business anyways!! It’s a mean comment to make I think. Especially from this brother who found out that his wife had been having sex with his lifetime best friend. He didn’t leave his wife, so who is he to pass judgement on whether Danny should or shouldn’t be spending time with me? Carole
