We had to come back from the beach a day early because I got an appointment with a new doctor about my hip problems. So when we got back I sent to see the new doctor we got there and they told me that this doctor that I was going to see does not do the type of surgery that I need, so they need to send me to a different doctor. I am so tired of my hip hurting and not really knowing what to do about it. I hate taking the medicine everyday. I just forget to take it so often. So we went home with no answers and could have spend another day at the beach.
For the next two weeks it was pretty quiet. I was the principal for our Saturday school. I loved it. It was quiet and I got so much work done. I just had to make sure that everyone was check in went to class behaved. The students where not a problem at all. Jay had to take CJ to her volunteer hours at the museum on the 3rd Saturday because I was working, but that worked out great.
Sunday CJ had Hebrew school but we skipped choir practice because CJ got invited to a BBYO event. I had never heard of BBYO. It is B'nai B'rith Youth Organization and meant for teens that have had their B'nai Mitzvah. It is an organization for Jewish teens of all denominations not just Reformed. It is to help them with leadership and their Jewish identity after B'nai Mitzvah. The event was at an escape room. There were only 2 other teens there and they were already members of the organization. They were both seniors in high school, but CJ was able to keep up with them in the escape room and had so much fun that after the even she could not wait to join.
I finely got in to see a doctor about my hip. I have a labrum tear in my hip. because with the other doctor we have tried the shot, I have done physical therapy (walking) on my own and the pain is not getting better just worse the doctor told me it was time for surgery. I know that. This was the 3rd doctor that I have seen over this hip pain. He wanted to get me in before thanksgiving but I thought that was to soon. Then we talked about maybe December 31st but that was just a maybe. We settled to January 14th and I would take 2 weeks off work. It was nice to know that my leg was going to finely get fixed. Not exited about having to have surgery but glad that someone was able to tell me something and get it fixed.
The morning that I went to the doctor my friend and CJ's social studies teacher who lives in Williamston offered to take CJ to school for me that morning. As I was taking CJ to her house were were talking and I mentioned that Mrs. Field's children live in Minnesota and New York. CJ looked at me and said, "I did not know that Mrs. Fields had children." I said, "Yes, and grandchildren." CJ then responded, " While I know she had grandchild but I did not know she had children." I just laughed and said that you have to have children to be able to have grandchildren. CJ is so funny.
Thanksgiving came and we were suppose to go to the beach, but since Jay still did not have a job and it would have cost over a $100 in gas just to get there we decided to cancel our reservation and just stay home. The camp ground was so great that they even gave us our money back. This give us just a little more to spend on CJ for Hanukkah and Christmas. Jay and I agreed that because he did not have a job yet that we would not spend a dine on each other for the holidays. That was hard for me because I had one really great gift in mind for Jay. But we agreed that this was best. Specially because he was not receiving unemployment and the unemployment hearing kept being postponed. So we did not know if he would ever be able to get unemployment.
At one of CJ's Step team practices they decided that they would do a Christmas show and needed Santa hats. CJ was given the task of finding Santa hats for the team. She found some on Amazon but they were cheap looking. I told her coach that I could make them and they would be black and gold the school colors and better quality. So I spent Thanksgiving break making 16 Black and Gold Santa hats.
We had a very nice Thanksgiving, because we decided to stay home we sent a message out that if anyone wanted to have Thanksgiving with us we had plenty of food. My friend Lori stated that she would love to have Thanksgiving with us but they had a big Turkey to. Jay said that if she gave him her Turkey he would smoke both turkeys and we could have a nice Thanksgiving with friends. It was so cute we meet Lori half way to Anderson and picked up her turkey. We were joking about exchanging goods in the parking lot. Thanksgiving with friends were so nice and peaceful.
The next day we got up and drove to Biltmore. We wanted to start off the Christmas/Hanukkah season with seeing all the Christmas lights. It was a very nice trip and all the decorations were beautiful. Poor Jay had his gun in his pocket and at the last minute notice that before going in the house he was going to have to go through a medal detector. So we walked back to the car so that he could put his gun away before we got into trouble or not able to go through the house. Jay was surprised that they had medal detectors. Boy has the world changed lately.
Tuesday, Jay finely had his hearing for unemployment. He said that it was a 45 minutes interview and the judge was great. He said that Cross Country did not do well during cross examination. A couple of days after the hearing Jay received notice that he was considered wrongfully terminated and would begin to receive unemployment. Soon after that judgement came in it seemed like Jay started getting calls for job interviews.
