Hang in there egf while you're juggling all your family needs. You will never regret being there to do what is needed. I speak from experience and I wish you strength in your undertaking of familial love.

This morning I have an external inspection for the house I'm buying so hopefully that all goes well!

Thank you, and agreed. I've been very intentional in my choices to make sure I was nearby when these times came, and here they are.

I have a rep from a local company coming out to give me an estimate on a few minor repairs (replacing a couple of doors and windows) and then a larger fix. I want to replace the middle roof of my home with the metal insulated panels I have seen on line. That will entail big $$$ but I spend $1500 a month in oil in cold weather and I think this would cut it down by a third. There is a ton of work here for this company if they do good work so we'll see.

Holy Cannoli! That's a heck of an oil bill. Def worth looking into your options.

It's been a busy day at work so far and looks like it will continue to be so. Then I was voluteered to join a work team for trivia night tonight at a local pub. It's a fundraiser for our domestic violence programs so... go team! (I suck at trivia...)

Well that was an epic fail! When the rep started quoting me $3500 a window and $6000 to $8000 a door I thanked him for his time. I have gone back to Window World a cheaper option and I figure if they can give me 15 years a window it will work as that will be pretty near my expiration date. The Window World rep will be here on Saturday. The rep today did mention Foard Panels (made in the town next door) for the roof that would still need to be covered with metal but it is something I can explore.

I love the new orange/red metal roofs I am seeing on cabins around my locale! Good luck and I hope you find reasonable but very efficient windows, doors and roofs for your lovely home

I’m going to go and get my haircut. I’ve been keeping it short So that it’s more manageable. I like long hair but when I have it, I only just wear it up in a high ponytail.

Then I’m off to buy some clearance plants and bushes at Lowe’s. Lol.

I’ve already collected the fallen black walnuts. It’s my first season to harvest them and see if I can actually use them.

- wash a load of laundry
- hope that 4 overnight last minute orders show up, as they are needed for vacay
- fold towels
- change sheets
- take Brittany to the doggy spa/kennel
- pack a bag to carry on and a bag to check
- copy notes from my day planner with hotel, flight, restaurant info
- wash dishes
- get up at 6 a.m. (hopefully after some sleep)
- pack my medical bag with CPAP and meds
- shave (something I don't usually do but I will make the effort for swimsuits and shorts)
- take my weekly injection
- LEAVE!

Part of me really misses the days when I could throw a swimsuit and a spare outfit in the back seat of the car and take off for the beach. But no, I need my creature comforts and all the stuff that keeps me alive, and I really don't want to drive that far any more.
