Dear (((Cat)))! You have done an incredible job with your recovery. It’s crazy how we know exactly the outcome of what would happen were we to gamble, and yet we at times still want to indulge in it. I can so relate to occasionally winning our money back, and then going on to put it all back in, plus more, and walking away feeling like crap. And we forget that so seldom do the machines even give us the choice to walk away with our original money we walked in with, as they seldom pay. That’s part of the insanity of this disease. Nice to hear that you’re going to be with your son and his family for Christmas. I don’t know where I’ll be for Christmas this year. Danny and I have been spending some time together but he is still difficult to get along with. He’d like to reconcile but I can’t go back to how we were living. If he can’t get along with me without getting angry when we aren’t living together, we absolutely couldn’t get along living together. He gets angry over nothing and is argumentative over lots of things. I am enjoying living alone with my two cats. My new cat Pablo is such a joy!! He was a barn cat until he lost his eye, and then became a resident of the vet clinic that treated his infected eye. Now he lives with Ferris and I, and the cats just love each other. They spend 90% of their time together and I get the crumbs when it comes to the rest of the time. It’s OK though as I know they are happy together, which makes me happy. I’m at my daughter’s looking after my granddaughters while their parents are whopping it up in Vegas. My daughter and son-in-law are not gamblers and said the last time they went to Vegas they put in $40. They went ziplining yesterday and there are 13 of them that went together to Vegas. I’m off to put the turkey in the oven and to shower. Carole
