Joe (Tom’s stepdad) is getting his new knee tomorrow, so please say lots of prayers for him and the doctors. It’s been a horrendous year of recovery and frustration for him. He had a clean-out surgery a few weeks ago that was luckily successful so that he would be able to get the new one put in. The first one, back in February, wasn’t successful, and we need this one to be. No one should have to go through all that he’s been through this year.
As for me, I’m hanging in there. I’ve been struggling a bit with my insides lately - lots of pain and not much sleep. The happy news on the work front is that I got a promotion, so that’s great news. It’s nice to be recognized for all the effort I’ve been putting into this job.
We’re hosting Thanksgiving again this year, so we’re trying to clean up the house a bit. We got a new sofa & loveseat for the living room. That’s right - no more comfy couch. This new set is comfy couch 2.0 though - it’s got recliners on all 4 ends. Good stuff. We also got a new fridge, of the french door/freezer on the bottom variety. It’s really nice, and I like it a lot more than our old one. I’m a big fan of the layout.
That’s all I’ve got for now. I’m working from home today, so it’s time to get cracking!

Will pray for Pappa. I’m off to Mass now anyway so I’ll offer it up!
You’ll have to tell me all about the promotion. Can’t wait to hear.
And I’m sorry you’re feeling yucky. I hope hosting Thanksgiving isn’t going to be too stressful. Though I wish to high heaven I was in town. I’d invite me and Ginge over for summa’dat turkey…and the pierogi noodles! And I’d bring my buffet pants this time too. A girl can dream right?

Dear Anonymous - next time you and I are in town at the same time I’ll make a special batch of noodles for you and your best pal. Love, Aunt K

Thanks Aunt K!
I don’t know why my name disappeared.
