Hi Cat, Enjoy your time with your Grandkids. I am sure that everything will be fine with the mark on your leg. You are taking care of it and not ignoring it. I will be praying that it will be alright. I am sorry that your Husband is having health issues related to his drinking. We all know that the body can only take so much abuse. Maybe this will be his wake up call. It is out of your hands Cat. No matter what we say, we can’t make anyone change, they have to want to. It is hard watching someone you care about destroy themselves. I’ve been there. Being a CG, I firmly believe that sitting in the casino and not eating properly or exercising enough helped propel some of my health issues. Live and learn!! I am happy that you are not gambling as you are under so much stress. Take it one day at a time friend. Take care. PS you don’t need to apologize for not supporting other’s right now. You need the support!! You have always been one of the first to be supportive. Take time for you Cat!!

Thanks Carole for your post!! I am getting the home insurance and the last things that the underwriter needs done. I think I have a cold. I thought it was allergies but no!! I am not surprised as I have been running back and forth to the city and not eating very well or working out on a regular basis. My Grandson is spending the weekend with me as I promised my Daughter that I would watch him so she could spend the time with her best friend as it is her birthday. I am taking my Mother out for lunch today and then intend on spending the rest of the day resting. Carole, I will be happy when my Daughter and Grandson are settled in the new home. My Grandson is happy with his new teacher and his best friend is in his class!!!! It’s been raining here and has cooled down a lot. Have a great gamble free day everyone!!

Bettie, I am praying for your brother-in-law. It is horrid about our healthcare! Like I said before, it was a big eye opener when my Husband was ill. Hope you are feeling better today!!! Take care.

I am in the city today!!! The home inspection went well and there are no major issues. There are a few small things to fix. I was pleased with the results!! I enjoyed being with my Sister this weekend. We had a fun time!! I have come a long way in that relationship. A few months ago, we hadn’t talked in over 1 year. I am hopeful that we can move forward and the relationship will grow. Things change when you can put things in the past and move on. I am learning that living in the present makes life much more calm. I am also learning not to have preconceived ideas on the future. I just make plans and try to follow through, although it doesn’t always happen. I don’t feel like I have caught up on my sleep yet. The last few nights I didn’t sleep well. It’s hard sometimes to stop my mind from racing and relax my body. I am going to start meditating tomorrow. I think it will be helpful!!!!

Thanks Charles! I am excited but holding my breath till the home inspection and appraisal is done. I spent the day with my Mother and Sister. It was a good day!! Tomorrow we are going to have breakfast together. Monday, I have a lot of papers to fax concerning the house and then I am heading back to the city. I am going home Tuesday morning. It is my Grandson’s first day of school (3rd grade). My Daughter and I are going to help him carry all of his school supplies to his class and then I can meet his teacher. He will be spending next weekend with me as it is my Daughter’s best friend’s birthday and they have plans. I am tired tonight and plan to go to sleep early, for me. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Going home this afternoon!!! I am coming back on Monday afternoon to take care of some more business concerning the house. It will be nice to be home for the weekend.

I am ready to go home! I have been here since Monday morning and I want to sleep in my own bed. LOL!! I called the inspection company and they will be out to the new home on Monday morning. I am signing the new loan papers tomorrow afternoon. So, either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning, I am going home. I dropped off some paperwork this morning at my cardiologist’s office so I can have my prescriptions mailed to me instead of going to the pharmacy in the city to pick them up. The front office lady looked confused and was really rude to me. I explained the papers and she said she would give them to the nurse but acted like she was in la la land. Really?? My life depends on these medications. I could have a stroke or another heart attack if I don’t have them. (I have a supply and I won’t let myself get too low before I make sure the paperwork is done) She just had a attitude like she didn’t care. It really pissed me off!! Maybe she was having a bad day!!! Tonight we are going shopping to get school supplies and clothes and shoes for my Grandson. My Daughter has a table at a job fair as she is hiring a assistant to help her at work. Hopefully she will find someone!!

Hi Bettie! I am so sorry to hear how bad it is at work for you. It is hard to go to work when it is you are surrounded by negativity. That is scary about your health care and that no one can figure out the deductibles and that you have to pay 100% of your medical bills. I know, having a health issue and needed to take medication daily how expensive it would be without my insurance. Sorry that you are having to go through all this b.s. I know it’s easier said than done, try not to get too stressed as that doesn’t help your health. Take care.

Hi Carole, Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a great day. Keep avoiding gambling!!!

[lizbeth4]

I am wishing you luck on your job interview. Take care.

Thanks Monique, We got the house!!!! And at $5000 less than the asking price. Now we need to get through the inspection and appraisal. My Daughter and Grandson are thrilled!! My Grandson and I spent the day at the aquarium and then played some video games. He is going back to karate camp tomorrow to see his friends there as he only has a few days till school starts. I am tired today. A lot of anticipation and excitement!!

[lizbeth4]

Hi Cat,
I was thinking of you and just wanted to say Hi! Have a great day!

The house hunting was intense. We found a home that all of loved! (daughter, grandson, and me) Our Realtor just left as she came by for me to sign the papers for a offer. I am in another small bidding war as someone else wants this property. The good thing for me is that I am pre- qualifed and my financing is preferred by the seller over his. We will know by 5pm today. A little about the house, it is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, plus den. There is little that has to be done, a few small cosmetic fixes. The lot is a corner lot and huge. There is RV parking and a pool. We are keeping our fingers crossed!! It is below what we expected to pay. (the payments will be lower than expected) The neighborhood is awesome. I am spending the day with my Grandson. We are planning on going to the aquarium. Oh, my Daughter is doing a wonderful job packing and has accomplished alot!!!

Hi Carole, I would be concerned about the bed bugs also. Remember you showed me how to look for them in hotels? I do that now everywhere I go!! There was a guy that lived in the condo’s where I used to live but another building. He had bed bugs and the exterminator used heat to kill them. But he had to trash most of his furniture, mattresses, couches, ect… When someone bought that unit, they had all the drywall torn out and replaced. What a mess and so costly!! That is horrid that the hotel isn’t telling their customers what is going on so other places aren’t infested. I am so sorry to hear of the death of your tenant’s daughter. How devastating for her family. She was so young!! Something is fishy as she was dropped off at the hospital and took off. So sad!! Have fun with your Granddaughter’s!
