Christmas 2008
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you are safe, sound and healthy. I wish I could head home for Christmas but see no possible way that can happen this year due to my financial situation.
This past year has brought about many changes in my life and I’m not going to expound on all of them. First of all, I have Fibromyalgia and that takes a toll on me each and everyday. I fight that and chronic pain on a daily basis, minute by minute, hour by hour. Some days are better than others and some put me to bed.
I’ve been job hunting, looking for a part time office job where I can be comfortable. I have also been looking for a place to live and found a nice little house I feel I can live in and be quite comfortable. It’s big enough for me and Lady will have a fenced yard.
We’re putting this house on the market the first of May and parting company, I’m going my way and he’s going his. Due to the toxicity of our current situation, I feel it’s in our best interests to divide things up and move on. If joe hadn’t taken me on a merry go round and misappropriated a huge amount of my funds, I would be in pretty good financial shape but that happened and I have to live with it. If he had taken care of me those three years I was so sick that most of the time I didn’t even know what day it was, I would have gotten better sooner. But, having been virtually abandoned and neglected during that time and being with him everyday has been building up a resentment I can’t get past. That being the case, it’s time to move on and hope that we can part as friends and leave it like that.
Looking for a job has been a new adventure and I have forgotten how to do and needed help putting a resume’ together. I have a pretty good prospect but that job won’t open up before March. But Josh, the company owner, is loaning me Quick Books so I can install it on my computer and familiarize myself with the program. Since I’ve been working with a highly sophisticated tax program, it won’t take me long to get the gist of that and have it all worked out and put me ahead of the curve when it’s time to go to work.
I’ve been trying to contact the Salvation Army to volunteer to help serve Christmas Dinner and can’t get anyone to return my calls. At least, I tried. I will be home alone for Christmas, joe is going to Charleston to visit his sister and I’m never invited. Oh well, that’s not my problem. I am planning to attend Candlelight Services Christmas Eve at a local Presbyterian Church.
I love each and every one of you with all my heart and wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year.
Love Always,
Dee

I'm so sorry for all of this, my friend. I am glad that you can move forward now and make a life for yourself. It seems so unfair that you should be in this position, at this point in your life. But, you are a strong and intelligent woman. Don't forget resourceful! I'll be keeping tabs on you. No one should be alone at Christmas. I'm glad you are keeping the perspective of the season and going to church. Keep up the faith, sister!

Hey Barbara, I'm doing okay and actually feeling better. I hated to tell my family and friends that way but, under the circumstances, I didn't have a choice. I'll be okay, I've been through a lot worse and survived and this too shall pass. I'm borrowing a boatload of money and using my Arkansas property as collateral due to the goose and his sticky fingers but that's okay too. I'm biting off a huge chunk but it's for the best and I'm already feeling better since I made the decision to move on. My health and peace of mind is worth a heck of a lot more to me that a lot of other things do. I just thank God I have a friend who's willing to help me out, I could easily be doing this alone. God sent Charlie into my life for a reason and I'm learning why although it's still tough for me to ask for help. I've been blessed since the day Charlie was sent to me, he's the glue that holds me together and gives me purpose. I'm really looking forward to the Candlelight services and communion. I've always wanted to go, didn't want to go alone and now, I'm going alone. Go figure! Merry Christmas to you and yours. God Bless. XOXOXO
