[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 570274, member: 84"] I know Tony is not the man you used to talk about here, for certain. Could be lots of things going on. Strokes, small or large can change personality either on a temp basis or permanently. After his small stroke Fred had to have the trazadone, we simply couldn't live in the same house with him peacefully without it. Gawd I hated it when he let his script run out. On it, he was the man I married. You know, if all Tony is going to do is yell and argue and make your holidays more miserable than even normal, why don't you see if you can snatch a motel room for a few days of peace and quiet. A xmas gift to yourself. Shut your cell off. Tell the desk you want no incoming calls unless it's an emergency. Don't answer the door. Maybe you won't want to do it on xmas, but how about right after? I am not my normal xmas self this year. Frankly, I could care less. I bought gifts but I can't say I was my usual excited self about it even when I found good deals. I decorated 2 days ago.......only because I *had* to do so. I could've easily skipped it this year and not missed it. I'll be doing dinner because.......well, I'm clan matriarch and that is just what I do. Can't say I'm into that either. Noise, more noise, I clean to have the house trashed again.........ehh blah. Some is because I'm missing Fred more than ever this year. It doesn't feel like xmas without him here doing his phoney bah humbug routine and pretending he didn't like it. Some is because of my nest egg missing, and no it wasn't found......not in pieces or otherwise. I did not do a darn thing with it, and memory issues or not I know damn well I returned the envelope to the safe and locked it. I was not in a hurry when I removed the cash because I knew easy child was coming and I didn't wait until the last minute to take cash out. Maggie did not eat it either. That whole affair just sort of took all the wind out of my sails. I haven't rallied from it yet. I'm cleaning and going through the motions. phht. Tomorrow I'm applying for work when I should be baking. woot ho ho ho. phht. Oops! Sorry, was supposed to be making you feel better. ugh I'd do the motel room. You need a break from the never ending Tony and Buck drama. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
