My Rant

You don't need to read this. But I need to put this out there before I bust something.
Some of you know how my sister pulled the rug out from under me a couple weeks ago. Well, I heard from her today. She was talking Thanksgiving, and I blew apart. Yes, that's exactly what happened. I have never in my life been so hurt by anyone at anytime as I was when she made me happy and then pulled the rug out from under me within 24 hours. I've done what I can to get over the hurt, but it's still there.
I told her I was having Thanksgiving with my boys. She said well, that's good. I'm sorry I offended you. Oh yes, I blew and I ended up hanging up on her. I couldn't stay in the apartment, so I left and found my peaceful place. You see it pictured above.
It was quiet today, just the way I wanted it. I needed to sit and think, pray, and think, and run thoughts through my mind, and try very hard to get over the hurt. After that I went shopping. I needed milk, and I was out, so I knew it was a good time to get it. I got a few more things as well, but I didn't go overboard, mostly because all I wanted to do was ride the mobile cart through the store and look, and if I found something I've been looking for for a long time, then yes, I bought it. So I'm armed with Christmas cards. They had just gotten them in and only just started filling the shelves, so I had first pick, at least it felt that way. I bought three boxes.
So if any of you want a Christmas card from me that I don't already have an address for, PM me your address, and I will be getting cards in the mail in the next couple days.
So together with the time at Bay Beach, and the time in the store, I am feeling better, but I'm still melancholy. I don't know if I'm going to interact today. I'm thinking about watching a movie. I'm not good company right now, even for myself, so a movie might help. I thought about buying a book, but I couldn't find anything I wanted to read, mostly because I have one to finish writing. It's always like that when I'm writing. I can't read when I do.
So anyway, this is a bit disjointed, and I'm hoping I can get a handle on this and get over the hurt that is eating me alive.
I hope you all are having a much better day than I am. I will interact, hopefully before the day ends. I just needed to get this off my mind. And it's good I did, because now the tears are starting to fall and now healing can take place.
Later.

I checked a lot of your discusions and never found out what happened with your sister in the first place.
Anyway, just remember that we don´t chose our family, we chose our friends.

@cindiowens I´m sorry to hear that. I have had things like that in my life, but I´m thankful to say that I have wonderful friends who have been there by me.

A while back, her sister suggested that they have Thanksgiving at her place. Then the next day, she called her and had changed her mind. Broke Valerie's heart.

@marguicha Yes, I think her sister should be a bit more kind toward her.

She told me it would be good for me to have Thanksgiving at my apartment and 24 hours later she pulled the rug out from under me and told me my apartment was too small when I told her it would work. You'll find the post called Status.

@AmbiePam Yes, so being hurt from her statement a couple weeks ago she called today about Thanksgiving and I told her I wouldn't be coming and I also told her what I thought about feeling like the black sheep in this family. It didn't go well and I needed to get away for a while.

Well, I don't know as yet what your sister said the other day, but I 'll go and take a look for it. That image looks like a nice place to have to hang out with when the need arises. Is it fairly close to your house? I didn't realize you were so close to any body of water other than the Y.

@just4him I looked a bit and then got waylaid. Will look again. I didn't realize that Green Bay was near the area that you called Washington Island recently. I did take a look at where that was in relation to Wisconsin and Michigan, but didn't look at nearby cities.

Green Bay is at the base of the thumb and on the Bay of Green Bay where Bay Beach Amusement Park is located, where that picture was taken this past 4th of July. There's no swimming allowed there any longer, but back in my father's day there was.
The post I referred to is called Status.

Sorry you are feeling hurt and upset today. You have every right to feel that way. You just need time to yourself. I think watching a movie will do you good. I hope you feel better soon and are able to heal quickly from this hurt.

I don't know what happened but I hope you are able to get over the hurt. Siblings can be so awful sometimes. I am glad I don't have any. Hope you find a good movie to watch that is entertaining and will help you leave reality for a couple of hours.

@just4him .....Never have watched them. The books were too complex for me. Too many characters.Fantasy seems to be like that.

@just4him I may have read it, but I read through your comments on here to see what she had originally done. I just don't get why family members have to intentionally hurt each other. I'm glad you'll see your boys, and if she cannot come, maybe you can get together with your daughter that weekend. :)

I don't know if you read 'Status'. I wrote it Oct. 16. That explains everything. I'm very happy I'm having Thanksgiving with my boys. It will be a very nice day for me. I might even invite my daughter. I doubt she'll come because she always goes to her mother-in-laws for the holidays.
I also have the link on one of the comments if you want to read it.

Crying always help relieve the anger and resentment. It also is cleansing, and afterwards our minds are a bit clearer. You happy place is lovely. It reminds me of mine a bit.

Water is always so peaceful. I could sit there for hours and today would have been perfect for it. The weather was beautiful, very uncommon for November. I think we were in the 60's. I agree, tears are cleansing, and I'm glad I'm finally starting to cry so I can get over this hurt and move on. At least she knows where I stand on what she did.

I'm not. My oldest called my son while he was here a few days ago and I asked him then if he would like to come to Thanksgiving. So I'll have my boys and it will be good.
