Another day another faux pas...but also a lovely card from a dear old friend

Last part first: my dear old friend, my only follower other than Hubby, well she really isn’t old, at least not more than six weeks older than me anyway, ha! I meant old in the sense known the longest since we were both toddlers when we first met. She sent me an online card for Hanukah, which was a great memory from our childhood when we in our neighborhood we would all celebrate our holidays together, and this was all my friends’ way before the advent of Sesame Street!
Diversity was our block on Gordon Drive in Paramus NJ, with I think, if I recall something like twenty six homes on it.
And we were all different, and yet mostly all friends or friendly, what a great growing up time we all had.
This is not to say that we didn’t have disagreements, of course we did, and yes we acted like we were family in every way!

First part now: I decided to call my cousins in Venice, not Italy you all know where… well to wish them a happy holiday too, and see how my uncle got situated; he had arrived last night from Vegas.
And I got my cousin in-law on the phone and asked the provocative question how are you, uncle so and so, his girlfriend etc.
Well. I was told my cousin says everyone is fine when they are not, and this is because he doesn’t really know or want to share, who knows…Then I am told both her hips will be operated on in two weeks this was a given and in my opinion I thought long overdue, since this problem is over a year old. Maybe you remember that she was the one who broke her hip falling off a ladder a year ago October when in her art class, and had to have emergency surgery that was real serious and she lost a lot of blood and needed transfusions etc.! Well, the surgery didn’t fix the problem. And her other hip cracked as well causing her constant tremendous pain and a need to give herself some type of personal injections to aid in the healing process for months!
So I was relieved for her sake that the surgery was finally being done, rightfully so, right?
Any-who, she complained about needing it and I said something stupid like you should be happy that you have insurance to cover it, unlike me who doesn’t!

Now I know that was stupid but I couldn’t take it back and then I stupidly went on, on about my dilemma which they both know full well about, but for some strange reason still don’t quite understand, is that clear?
She put her husband, my cousin on the phone and I basically did the same thing to him but with an apology!
But you know something I am angry at the ones who complain about needing the surgery for a problem that will be fixed by it, and that they do have the finances or the insurance to do it with…. SO SORRY!
What am I jealous? Or is it more simple than that am I just plain angry, you betcha! Life’s not fair; we all know that, what was I thinking?
I should be put away until I am socially acceptable.
The filtering system in my conversation ability is null, and so I suppose I will have to hermit myself more so than I am already!
But I used to love people now they just annoy me to no end.

On that night’s switcheroo of attitude I will bid you all a good night and to all count your blessings and I will too, ha! Still looking…
