Not a lot today.  The evil one is back and making everyone miserable.  Nothing changes.  She still hasn’t announced that I am leaving.  So, I cannot say a word and in essence, she has taken all of the excitement of getting a new job and turned it in to nothing.  Oh well.

When I weighed this morning, I was the same as yesterday.  I don’t deserve to stay the same and I am thankful that I did.  It was really icky outside yesterday when we got home, so no walk.  But I did get up from my desk today and did about 20 minutes walking.  Our series of buildings are a quarter of a mile from one end to the other, so I did half a mile.  Not bad for my first time and the first time since double knee surgery.  I’ve been babying my knees and using them as an excuse too long.  Hmm….I’m still scared to walk down steps, I’m still afraid of falling, but I should be able to walk, right?

We are going to the seafood/prime rib buffet on Thursday night at the race book.  Of course hubby went overboard and bought three cards.  Since one is entirely quarter horses, it took about two hours to handicap.  I have marked the other ones and will finish up either this afternoon or tomorrow.  They will be done in plenty of time for Thursday night. 

MIL told my hubby’s ex wife that I got a new job and big raise.  So, hubby gets an e-mail yesterday from the ex asking him to pay for his son’s car insurance.  I swear that woman.  She makes almost as much as my husband and I do together.  The son has come to us for money for college books, which we happily gave him.  The son asked for a car, we got him one.  He asked for tuition money, we gave it to him.  When his car needed repairs, we took care of that too.   I knew when MIL told my husband that she was having problems, we would be hearing from her.  The woman has never been able to handle money.  When she was married to my husband, she was addicted to shopping and put them heavily into debt.  When they divorced, my husband scrimped on everything and paid his half of the debt off.  She re-financed her house until she was at the 110% of the value, blowing the money on trips, shopping, new car, etc.  We are very careful with every dime.  We budget for everything.  And my husband is a financial whiz.  Oh…I give up.

That’s it for Tuesday.
