Hi Guys, It took me a long time to get used to living alone. It was an adjustment when Jen moved in and yet another adjustment when Isaac was born. I do miss seeing him when I get home. It’s depressing and I could just tear up. Part of what has driven my compulsive gambling was being alone. I do need to find other things to do when I get off of work because coming home is just real difficult right now. My Ga group disbanded. It’s a shame because that group had been together 20 30 years. There was a husband and wife team that were the real trusted servants for that group. When they decided to step back they brought someone in to be the leader. She was very nice but inexperienced. It’s a shame on all those long-time members that this group want of disbanding. I don’t blame anybody for the group not being together. If I could have committed to taking over the group I’m sure it would still be there. Well another long day at work tomorrow. I did get to see Isaac on the weekend. I hope I get to see him Thursday. I have an appointment with the dermatologist to look at my scalp. I use some old medication a couple of months ago and wound up with was blisters on my head. I went to Urgent Care and they prescribed steroids. I took them and they cleared it off. My scalp is still sore and itchy though. It’s very irritated especially at night when I lay down. I am scheduled for my gastric bypass surgery on October 2nd. I still have so questions before I go forward and at this point I’m not a hundred percent sure that I want to do it. Jenny goes for her injections next week and her body scan on the 17th. Prayers that her cancer has not spread. After the test results they will come up with a treatment plan for her. I think Jenny may have finally gotten The Isaacs insurance straightened out. He needs hernia surgery. these were things that were supposed to been accomplished in about a three month span but since she decided to move this guy here from Florida it is throwing a wrench in my plans. I will need someone here for at least a couple weeks post-surgery and I’m not sure how any of that’s going to work out yet. Betti

Hi Guys,
Most of the family came for a swim today. Got to see my baby. He loves the water. I got him a number of PJ’s at the Good Will. Like new and only 2-3$ each. Bought a Tonka truck for him too. I think he misses his toys. He was so excited to see his ride on train and the blocks that go in it.
Jen is still staying at her dad’s. He has a number of kids there all the time and Jen doesn’t want them to fight over his toys.
Have a great week.

Hi guys,
Well Jen is scheduled for Dr appointments next week for injections then her body scan.
She is on her way over so I get to spend time with Isaac today. There are a lot of things I should be doing but playing with my boy will be so much more fun.
This will keep me from the machines today.

Hi Guys,
So nice to see familiar names here on the forum.
Jen will have her injections and body scans in two weeks. Praying for a good outcome. We will know her treatment plan sometime after that.
She and Isaac are staying with her dad. She moved a guy from Florida up here against my wishes. I miss the baby so much. His stuff is all over my living room. It’s very difficult coming home to an empty house and baby things everywhere. I’m back to dealing with abandonment issues which is a tremendous trigger for my compulsive gambling.
My heart is broken over this stuff. My daughter is spoiled and selfish. she has no idea the actual amount of help that she’s gotten with the baby. My family and friends have been totally supportive. I certainly did not get this kind of help with her. I hope was that Isaac would help her get her stuff together. I was only 18 when I had her and I figured out pretty quickly what my priorities in life would be.
Take care,
Betti

Hi Matt,
Congratulations on finding GT.
Throwing good money after bad only creates more debt.
Been there, done that.
You could try to contact the creditors and ask for a repayment plan.
Just a thought.

Hello old friends,
I’m still around.
I wish I could say I was gambling free but sadly that is not the case.
I’m not obsessed and crazy about it like I used to be so that’s a good thing. Can I ever gamble normally? What is normal. Playing with fire I could easily crash and burn at anytime. Nice to see names of old friends on here.
Enjoying my beautiful grandson who is 18 months old now. Jenny and Isaac are both living with me right now. Jenny has had a reoccurrence of her thyroid cancer and we’re waiting for test to see what the next step is going to be. Hopefully the cancers contain to the fatty tissue in her throat and no place else. One day at a time, one step at a time.
I need to stop procrastinating and get back to house work.
I’ll try to pop back in as soon as I get a chance.
Take care,
betting

Hey kiddo!
Look at you, more than a year clean!
Laurie mentioned that you were asking about some of the old timers. Well I am still around.
I had to put down one of my cats today. Not fun but it had to be done.
I am a grandma now. Baby is 9 months. He’s a beautiful boy. Dark hair, blue eyes. He is a good boy too! My daughter is living with me. Tight quarter’s and she can be a real brat but life on life’s terms.
Well enough about me.
So glad to see you doing do well.
Take care, bettie.

Hi Guys,
Wish I could say all is peachy keen however life has throw a big curve ball into my life.
Firstly I have the most adorable grandson. Full head of hair, blue eyes, healthy and growing fast.
Jen, on the other hand, is having problems. She has thyroid cancer. She has surgery on the 2nd and that should have been the end of it. Sadly she found out Monday that the cancer has spread. They found it in a lymp node and on the fatty tissue in her neck.
She sees a specialist on the 27th.
She is scared. I am terrified.
I’m tired of being the strong one. This past year has been a rough one. So far we have come out on top.
Praying for the best.

Well no rest for the weary!
I’ve been up about 2 hours. The baby shower is coming very soon. I have had some generous offers of help cooking and getting the cake done by my niece’s sister in law. She does a beautiful job.
My daughters gf wants me to include her pre-teen girls however they have mouths like a sailor and are very hyper and hard to deal with. I did invite one of her friend’s daughters. I can’t uninvited her. This girl is in remission from cancer and I’ve not seen her since she got sick. I am sorry that I can’t include the others but again the mom has no control over them and i’ll not have the time or energy to deal with their nonsense.
Take care!
