Upset
I am feeling really down today. There is the problem as I wrote in my previous journal about my benefits running out and having to rush and find a part-time job. BTW, they are not hiring at the club I joined, so I am scouring the internet for a part-time job. Then there is my trip to NJ. I usually stay with my brother but now my sister-in-law is very sickly so it is not a good idea to stay there. When I talked to my cousin about staying with her she said Ohhhhhh! She did not seem so excited about it. So I decided to stay with my niece. I just got an email from her saying that her guest room is being occupied by her sister Karen. Also that my brother probably won’t be able to pick me up at the airport cause he can’t leave his wife for that long a period of time. The other day I got an email from my cousin that said I could stay with her, but I would have to rent a car cause she can not afford the gas to drive me around. I wrote back to her saying I would probably be staying with my niece. I cannot afford to rent a car. I got a reply back from my niece saying that she and Karen are mad at each other right now. I seems Karen is drinking again. She got a DWI a couple of years ago and lost her license for 2 years. You would think she would learn her lesson. So the room is now available. I feel very unwelcome. I wish I could get my money back. If I knew about my benefits running out I would not have done this in the first place. I hope this is coherent. I am very upset.

Hey....See if you can get a ticket to Michigan instead of NJ....I\'d love to have you at my place. We\'d have a great time and I have a room with your name on it. I am serious about this. I have a health club also but it doesn\'t have a pool.
Hugs and love......Beth
Ohhh.. I know you will manage to get this sorted.. It\'s bound to feel like a huge disappointment just now, but I know you will bounce back with an answer soon enough. Sounds to me like your family could really use a visit to lift their spirits a bit, with so much going on for them.. perhaps you should go and sort them out a bit.. This will all sort out and hopefully you will find a fabulous part time job.. I will be wishing for the best here.. big hug to you.. Inka xxx
Seems like Beth might have come up with an answer already... xxx
Beth, that is so sweet. I may take you up on that someday. I guess like Inka said I need to get this sorted out.
Well I hope this all gets worked out. Family can be hard sometimes. It is a shame that they made you feel unwelcomed.
Good luck with finding the right part-time job for you. I know how industrious you are and I am sure that you will find it.
I am going to call my brother today. I don\'t think he knows any of this is going on.
BTW, the letter came yesterdsy about my benefits running out. A little late.
Oh, anitaama!!! I feel bad for you!!!!! You will get it all sorted out..........and who knows maybe this is all a blessing in disguise............look for the silver lining!!! And I can\'t imagine anyone making you feel unwelcome..............especially your own family!!! It sounds like they could use a visit from you to \"sort them out!\" like Inka said!!! Big hugs my friend!!!!!!
Thanks to all of you for your support. I think I will feel better after I talk to my \"Big\" brother, He has always been my rock.
I will be spending most of the day looking for a job. Dr.Phil says when you don\'t have a job, finding a job is your job. You should work as hard looking as you would doing a job.
I am so sorry about all this hurtful feelings ! I hope a way round all this is found soon without much ado ! I think Beth is an angel in disguise !
Anita I know all this will fall into place soon .You are very meticulous in everything you do , You will sort this out in no time .Families can be a rock as well as a bit of a pain . Unfortunately all this coming on suddenly when you are feeling good and looking forward to a lovely holiday flatened you a bit !
Wish you to get a p/t job pronto and have your good feelings back again !
LOTS OF HUGS ...............Monica
I finally got back on line. I am sorry about all the problems you are having. Is it your insurance running out or what. I hope you get to go and spend time with your family.
I am ready for vacation, but with gas prices it is hard. Thanks for the hug and thinking of me. Good luck and hugs to you.

Yes everything got straighted out. I talked to my \"Big Brother\" and my niece. I think my niece was just trying to create some drama. I love her dearly but she can be somewhat of a drama queen. All is well and I will be staying with her. My brother will pick me up at the airport.
Great news! I am thinking you will have fun once you are there. Oh, Jersey tomatoes and corn! yummm
Cheap eats in the summer if you like the veggies.
I\'m sending you some good vibes towards the job hunt.
hugs, lindamae
You are right lindamae about the tomatoes and the corn. Nothing like Jersey tomatoes and corn. I was shocked when I moved to Tx and could not get good tomatoes and corn.
