Hi all:
Sloan, thanks for the picture..pretty space you created. Pam, good luck with finding the decorations you want. I'm considering painting our bathroom because I'm tired of the brown the former owners chose. It's actually pretty but a bit cold.
My SIL did have a mild stroke. It has affected her speech; she is substituting words, like "hotel" for "hospital"; "alternet" for "internet"; and she is just making some words up. She was not aware that she was doing it, but today she seemed to notice sometimes. The MDs are treating her with blood thinners and tomorrow we will know more and get her on a speech therapy program. (Sandra, it's not the woman you met. She was his first wife; this is his second ex.)
Tomorrow I will be going with my brother, his daughter and her husband to transfer my brother to another health facility about 3 hours west of here. It is supposed to be the best one for him; we'll see.
My eating is OFF, but I'll get back on track as of now.

on losing 3 pounds. That's an awesome loss!
