It's is still morning for Sue and I and for the rest of you, Good Afternoon.

Well, I am home alone today except for my little weiner dog, Tootsie. She is so much fun, I love her almost like a kid. She is behaving better than my youngest who is giving me fits. First, he has been going through a break-up for the last 6 months (maybe an exageration but it feels like more). This girl is playing him like a deck of Vegas cards. We keep telling him she is no good but he has his head in places that I don't want to think about. He has had 4 jobs in the last year he has lived here in our town. This last one was a good one at a casino with good pay and benefits. Well, he went to Vegas for his days off (Sun/Mon) to visit a friend. He was suppossed to be home yesterday afternoon in time for work and never showed. Wouldn't pick up his cell. At 3:00 I got a text message saying he would call in a minute. He didn't. His start time at work came and went. The casino never called so I figured he called and quit. Sure enough, at midnight I get an e-mail stating that he found a job and was staying in Vegas. I have not heard from his since. Don't know when he will come to pick up his stuff, all he had was 24 hrs. worth of clothing. (He must be wearing his friends' stuff, they are the same skinny size.) After the message at midnight I tried to sleep but my pain was sky high until about 3:30 a.m. I guess he will show up sooner or later and I am doing pretty well staying strong but this child has been my cross to bear his entire life and maybe it's time to just let go. Good thing is, I can't eat so maybe I will loose a couple of pounds - YEAH!

Tomorrow afternoon I am the guest of the MRI dept. at a hospital about 30 miles away. I have a brain, neck and back MRI scheduled so I will be one with the giant tube! Docs think I may have MS. I think "NO I DON'T"! We'll see who wins.

So, my dear friends, keep me in mind or send me an PM with advice about my son, but I know I need a little help letting go. I know this forum is for weight control but I don't know anyone in the emotional help forums and I can't just dump this story on strangers. It took me 2 hours to make up my mind to let you all know.

SHER - Get well soon, honey. That stuff can get dangerous.

SUE - Enjoy your shopping - HO HO HO

BILLIE - As usual girlfriend, you are doing too much so be careful.

BIZI - I am so sorry you are loosing a friend with a baby, yet. Shows you just how precious friends are.

I'll try to talk to you all soon,
Nancy
