Hi there, friends! How is the weekend going so far?
We have had lots of rain today in Central Florida- in fact, we've had a good bit of rain for the past 2 weeks. I spent some time at the kids' house working on the remaining cleaning chores, and ran a few errands in between downpours, but other than that it has been a quiet day.
Jan, are you in Texas or Florida or enroute somewhere by now? Hope you can post some pictures of your trip!
Linda, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the cast comes off next week, but I wouldn't bet the ranch on it if I were you!
I'm still in a pretty bad flare up- I think part of it is the wet weather. I've been avoiding going on prednisone to knock it out because that always raises my blood pressure, but I'm afraid I may have to if things don't improve in the next few days. I've got too much to do to be slowed down by this right now!
Texaslady, we must see most things alike, because you always hit the nail on the head with me! The sale of the house is indeed bittersweet for me- we watched every brick and board go up 34 years ago. That is part of the reason I am glad I am here while they all are emptying the house. I'm glad the kids are selling and moving here because I think it will be good for them, but seeing the house empty would be very, very painful for me. So many memories- good and bad. Can't wait to see my little sweeties though, especially my little guy- he's been needing more "grandma fixes" on the phone lately. Probably exdh being up there right now makes him miss me more.
Speaking of exdh being up there for the move, a word of warning, ladies- if you ever have to rent a truck to move stuff, don't go to U-Haul!! The 26' truck they reserved and paid for weeks ago was not there- they ended up being chased an hour away, the only place UHaul could locate a 26' truck in the area. Apparently, I have been told since, they have a habit of doing this. Then there is the truck itself that exdh had to take: the speedometer, odometer, temp gauge and air conditioning don't work.
And G has to drive this thing over 800 miles!!! He said the good news is the tires and brakes are new. The plan had been for G to take one dog with him while dsil took the other one in the car- but with no air conditioning in the truck, that is not an option. Since the dogs sometimes fight, dsil could have a long trip too dealing with both of them. I'm so glad dd and my little sweeties are flying down!
Well, I'd better go. Hi to
Joyce and
Janet(did I miss anyone? Sorry if I did- I'm half asleep). Have a good OP Sunday, everyone. "Talk" to you soon.
