Happy Thanksgiving with a little whine...

[Guest guest]

Good Morning,

I sppreciated the people who took the time to answer my post

on, " how bad will this get. " It was a combination vent and inquiry

about personal experiences. It is strangely comforting to know that

I am not alone on this journey.

My pain is so bad today in my hands that I have to type a sentence

and then rest. My poor swollen little hands look like they have had

a lot of tough experiences. I spent 23 years waitressing in fine

dining restaurants and I carried those heavy oval trays. I was an

excellant waitress in my day...I went back to school when I was 46

and graduated when I was 50 with a degree in Marketing. I was never

really able to use it very long, but education is never wasted. I

tutored at the school for awhile and I have thought about doing that

again. I am qualified in several areas, but I mostly helped with

writing classes, speech, math and basic accounting.

I am going to be enjoying a joint Thanksgiving dinner with my son's

wifes family. I am making three pies for it and bring the wine. I

am making a traditional pumpkin, a pumpkin cheesepie and a raspberry

swirl cheesepie. I am looking forward to some good food and good

company. Gentle Hugs and a Happy Thanksgiving to all. Penny
