I will be offline for a few days while we pack up the computer etc to move. The house is now officially ours and the moving truck comes on Monday and delivers on Tuesday. So I am offline for a bit. Stay well everyone - no more broken anything. I know I owe some emails (especially to you sj) but am in the midst of boxes. I am no overdoing it though. Actually doing pretty well. Kelly You take care and don't overdo, I know that is easier said than done. Know we are all thinking of you and pulling for you.  SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. >I will be offline for a few days while we pack up the computer etc to move. >The house is now officially ours and the moving truck comes on Monday and [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Kelly Good for you on not overdoing it! It is so tempting to push too hard with a move and I imagine even more so when one has waited for the move as long as you have! Of course, you won't see this for a while...... but I'm waiting to hear about how you are settling in and enjoying the new place. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare We are moved in as of this afternoon at 3:00. Still have to go to the old house on Saturday and meet housecleaners etc. but that is to come. My sewing room is almost organized with the furniture, the couch is in the right place, the bed is made and clothes are hung up and I went grocery shopping, bought flowers and even unpacked a table cloth and vase, put real dishes on the table and we ate at home tonight (deli cold cuts, salads, chicken and cheese - nutritious.) I am not dying which means the rituxan is finally kicking in. Of course tonight I am exhausted and more than a few joints are sore. But not bad. Pictures in a few days. It is lovely - so bright, clean and new. Thanks everyone for the support. Feels so good to be in (and the last deficiency which was a backordered light will come off tomorrow. They are building the fence today and tomorrow and probably the next day and then the sprinkler system and landscaping goes in. So progress on the yard as well. Unheard of to be finished with no deficiencys and ahead of time in this market. Great contractor.) Anyhow off to have a bath in my real bathtub that I can get out of and I even have a handicap toilet again. Oh and not a single step on my floor (Pat's office and the guest rooms are upstairs. So things are looking great!!! Of course we will see if I am still moving tomorrow. Kelly > Good for you on not overdoing it!

We look at the world a little different than people who do not have inflam.arth. We set goals to get things done and feel good about being able to do them. Enjoy Kelly and lets hope for the best on the after effects. Harv Awesome, Kelly. It feels good to get into your own place. I overdid yesterday (still on the 10 mg pred taper). So today is just a downtime day. Don't you overdo and then have to spend several days recovering. Pace yourself as my hubby keeps telling me. DeeTee > We are moved in as of this afternoon at 3:00.

Have to go buy a toaster and maybe a towel but that is it. Yesterday was so beautiful here - sun out etc but today is dreary again. Was suppose to be nice all week. Oh well. On the other hand I am sitting here watching the men put in the posts for the fence - young good looking men. I might get to eventually let the dog outside - you know before Spring! Will try to keep your words under advisement. I do know how to do it. <bg> Kelly > Awesome, Kelly. It feels good to get into your own place. I overdid > yesterday (still on the 10 mg pred taper).

I just hope you didn't push too hard, trying to walk the dog out where the fence was going in! <weg> Enjoy your new house and milk the process of *slowly* settling in! But then you sew, meaning you KNOW once the sewing room is set up, everything else can wait! LOL I envy you the new bathtub. Our current bathroom is in need of major renovation and updating. We've done what we can on the surface, but they really need to replace the tub surround at the least. It's so grim, we avoid soaking in the tub, though it's something we both enjoy. Give me a decent looking bath and a tub and some Mr. Bubble and I'd be so happy! heehee SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Woooohooooo, Kelly!!! Am absolutely thrilled to hear you are in your new house and that all is going well thus far!!! How wonderful. May you enjoy it for a very very long time to come! Please be careful to not overdo it though. It (the house) doesn't all have to be organized in one day ya know! Also glad to hear the rituxan seems to be starting to kick in for you!!! Bout time you got a little relief!!! I'm headed for infusion #1 tomorrow - can't wait either!!! Rest and treat yourself to something wonderful and pampering!!! Hugs, Donna . . . . 1. ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2. J.K.M.A. Donna, hope the infusion tomorrow will work wonders for you, and right away!

J.K.M.A. Thanks, Gwen. I know from last years round of infusions that it takes a few months to totally kick in, but I am just glad to be getting the infusions going so that in a few months the old joints will quit screaming so loudly at me! . . . Donna . . . . 1. ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2. J.K.M.A. Donna, I kind of understood that it might not take those couple of months this time around - that it might kick in faster since the med is in our body. Hope that is right. I got the impression that it is just the starting dose that takes a bit to work. Hope so. That is what I am counting on. Kelly > Thanks, Gwen. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > 2. J.K.M.A. I have my fingers crossed for the next infusion Donna. Will be interesting to know when they will repeat mine. I go to month six joint check November 15th. Then they decide if I can even have it again. Will be thinking of you! I know what a relief it will be if it works! Kelly > Woooohooooo, Kelly!!!

J.K.M.A. Well the fence guys are finished the posts and sawing the boards so things are improving. There is still a sea of mud etc but looks like improvement. Nann - I have been working on the sewing room for a bit this morning - it looks so grand. Going to sew pot holders for the sale next week - need some money for bulbs! Have finished 6 baby quilts and 12 pot holders and 2 Christmas Wall hangings so far. Only a week to go though and must do something around the house (like finish unpacking!) first. I figure though if I unpack my sewing room that gets rid of many many boxes. Will post pictures when finished. Can't find my cord for my camera right now (but have a computer!) Still few new house glitches but my bathtub is not one of them. It is so deep (and we got a heated floor put in there so it is so nice in the morning. So things are looking up. I am just still fighting a bit of soreness and tiredness but that should change soon. I know that updating and reno thing - had to choose for so long. Downsizing to a cheaper town has its advantages. The services seem great too. Went to breakfast, the bank etc. this morning. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Have to find a lab tomorrow morning though. Monthly tests due. Thanks Nann.

I hope all goes well for you and that all falls into place with the house and unpacking and such.

I've felt like such a lump for the past 5 weeks, but I am *finally* managing to do some stuff. I may succeed in getting the gardens and plants ready for winter before the first snow hits. I never dreamed how limiting it could be to have bending over bring excrutiating pain, but I'm now able to do so for brief periods reasonably comfortably. I got bulbs planted in the garden by using a hoe to dig a trench and dropping the bulbs from waist-high, adjusting & covering them with the hoe. They are spring bulbs, but the weather has been so strange this fall, they are coming up now. I s'pose they'll be ok as long as they don't try to bloom just yet. I still need to get the next round of crocuses scattered in the grass out front - that requires real digging though and the weather's been yucky since I've been able to do that. Surprisingly few folks plant crocuses in their grass around here, but every April people are most appreciative of ours blooming! This house we're in needs so much work, but it is a rectory, i.e. church-owned housing, and getting stuff down is a trial. The bathroom still has 1950s linoleum on the floor, so abused that it's impossible to get it looking clean. I finally bought some bath carpeting to cover it with, but bought a dark color a few months before our butterscotch & vanilla Puddin' cat with long hair moved in! At least my determination to buy a new vacuum finally got Mike doing most of the vacuuming for me! (wink, wink!)

But you sound like you might be overdoing it. I don't know how you are doing it at all with the way you have been feeling. I am amazed to say the least. I hope you can eventually get some of the work done on the house. It is a shame they don't take better care of it for you. Hope Mike Keeps vacuuming for you. Take care and hang in there.

(I did overdo it yesterday and hurt today, so this evening I'm just putting the candy outside the door with a sign to "help yourself". Some folks are ringing the doorbell anyway, boo, hiss! > I hope you can eventually get some of the work done on the house. It is a > shame they don't take better care of it for you. > > Hope Mike Keeps vacuuming for you. Take care and hang in there. He knows it's either he vacuums or I'll buy a new one! (ours is 27 years old, very good on the wood floors I've mostly had, but requiring some real work on this carpet.) I suspect he'll eventually decide it's ok if I spend the money on a new one! LOL SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare I hear you about getting bored and doing something. I have been so bored lately with reading and do crossword puzzles. I want something else to do but these darn muscle spasms won't let me do much more. I had to go to drs on Fri because of being so sick, she says virus and is checking into some female issues I am having. I get to go for a pap and mamo next fri. I don't want too. ;0( I am lucky, Jim does almost everything now. I feel sorry for the poor man. He does the vacumning, cleaning bathrooms, cooking, grocery shopping and other shopping, running, etc. So I have been blessed with a good man. Although the vacumning is not like I would like it every week, but it does get done a few times a year. ;-) SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you.

I let him know how much I appreciate him beleive me. I couldn't make it thru this without him.
