I need a hug.

We had a really crappy day yesterday.

Went to Dave and Busters. We sat at the table for 20 minutes. 4 servers passed us up-no service. No drinks-nothing. The couple that sat behind us in the same section sat down for no more that 1 minute and got served.
Went to the manager and politely told him how rude it was and I was never coming back. He gave us a 30 dollar gift card.

We were hungry so we went to a flippin Dennys. It wasnt crowded-but guess what... We got the same treatment. The manager wasnt there.
The hostess gave us attitude as we were leaving. She was acting like she had a packed house. 4 tables...oh no!

I dont get it. We were dressed nice. Polite. But we got treated like we were covered in shit.

We finally went to Cheddars-got seated and served food in less than 20 minutes.


Went to the mall-a kiosk lady gave me a makeover. I bought 50 dollars worth of makeup. Now Im having buyers remorse

Now that's what I want!

I could use a hug.

I may have given a certain person a completely wrong message, with no intention to do so I can only hope he could see beyond the surface

The past three months have been kinda rough for me and my family.
Being unemployed of course sucks, but adding to that my sister getting a divorce, my brother being in the hospital because of an aortic dissection and now my father wanting to divorce my mother because there's a new woman in his life(I live at my mother's place, which means I can't really escape being reminded of this constantly).
They have been living in a sort of long-distance marriage the past 4 years, due to my father having to work in another part of the country, but planned to retire together in 1-2 years at a house they own with my brother in the countryside. Now that won't happen.

So yeah, a hug would be very much appreciated.

That's a lot to be dealing with all at once.

It is tough knowing your parents are unhappy or struggling whether you live with them or 5000 miles from them.
My mom and step-dad have been living apart but still married seeing one another every few months. My step-dad decided a few yrs back to take early retirement,sell the house and move to another state while my mom was away helping her brother care for his wife that was dying of cancer.
Since she did not want to move where he decided to retire (close to his family, 900 miles from her family), they just decided to do their own thing, her traveling to see her family and spending months at a time away, him semi-retiring near his family. My mom now suspects he has had a girlfriend or two all of this time. She is in Florida visiting her sister and contemplating what to do when she goes back to him.
She was supposed to come back to visit us in the Spring since I have only seen her twice on 2 1/2 yrs but she has just had to have surgery.
She needs time to recover and now she said she needs to sort her life out before coming back.
It is tough because we have to communicate via computer and rarely catch up in real time with time difference being 5 hrs, we leave one another messages.
I am worried sick about my mom. At her age and being on disability in the states, she feels like her only option is to stay with my step-dad but live like they are living.

That is one reason I came to this thread for a hug.

*hugs everyone very very tight*

A huge event happened in my life. My father's too. It's been an interesting November to right now. He was diagnosed with the early stages of Prostate Cancer. He went to a very VERY good urologist, but being diagnosed, telling me, etc...it was very very hard. I think it really shocked him because my dad has been very healthy all his life. He rides his bike 10 miles a day during warm season, eats his legumes, cuts back on meats, etc.

He went in for surgery last week on the 10th. It was a long, long day. One I spent praying, making calls, writing endless poems, and keeping it together. I had a lot of support and love, though. And I felt like my dearly departed ma and grandpa were with me in the waiting room. Stage 1 is over and dad goes back to get the full story tomorrow. We are praying it is gone and stays gone. But no matter what, we'll get through it.

So...yeah...LLS needs a hug. *more hugging* And y'all can have all the extras for your troubles, trials, and tribulations too.

Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Wow. I can imagine this situation being very hard for you and your mother.

My extended family on my mother's side has been very supportive regarding all that's been going on lately in my family. I wish I could say the same about the relatives on my father's side.

I hang out with theatre geeks...so I am never in need of a hug. In fact, sometimes I with they'd leave me the funk alone!

PunkMistress said:

Thanks
I try not to think too much about these recent events, or else I wouldn't get any sleep. I'm just hoping for something positive to happen in my life this year.

I had a great day ~ spent with our kids and our grands
