I saw you posting - does that mean your moving day is over and your internet
working Rose?

Hopefully it went well and you are just resting today.  It is a holiday. So
leave the worst f the boxes and the dissertation and rest and read junk
books if you have them somewhere accessible. Rest and pet the cat so he gets
used to his new home. did your shower get done in time??  Was thinking of
that on my holidays but couldn't post.

Today is the second day packing day for me.  Realtor is coming in on Monday
so time to again purge so I can downsize and start packing stuff that I
don't need to make a difference in the looks of the inside of the house. My
moving day will hopefully be in August before my infusion but will see what
I can rent in Steveston.  I hope to have to make only one trip over to look
for places - maybe the end of the month after the quilting lady's road trip
to Washington.  Time is going so fast now that decisions to sell, legal
seperation etc have come through.  Counselling for the 2 of us on how to
handle the end are next Thursday.  We will leave the divorce for later - who
knows maybe in 10 months if I haven't moved on and he has figured out what
is going on with him with his counsellor then he can come court me and go
through counselling together.  Instead at the moment it is over.  Too many
tears in the 3 months after he left and too much pain.  That is just since
leaving.  Too many years of this before to convince him he needed help.  So
right now neither of us are ready to begin again - time to heal. So that is
why I have been quiet (as well as being in Seattle for the week).

So rest today Rose and let us know what happens at the rd appointment.  Will
be thinking of you with a cold drink in hand today sitting on a lawn chair
(is that possible??)

Take care,
kelly

Kelly, practice what you preach and take some rest, too.  If possible, put
the lawn chair out in the new place and admire all the good points.  (No
picking out the negative side - we are strictly positive today).  Thanks for
the support you have given the rest of us.

I am actually doing well today Navy.  I have wandered my garden, thrown out
4 bags of garbage, sorted out 3 huge huge boxes for second hand store,
almost done 1/2 so my sewing room, sold my serger for cash quite by accident
and am about to take a nap.  After my nap no work - only quilting and a
drink!!!!  I deserve it.  No negatives at all today. It has been a tough
couple of days.

My mom comes on Sunday thank goodness now.  Pat comes tomorrow to ding out
his office and empty the wheelbarrows of all the weeds I pulled before
Seattle.  Will hire a young man for Friday to come and work in the yard to
tidy it up and haul some boxes to the car for second hand store, haul away
garbage and haul boxes from where I have put them in the house into the
garage.  I am gathering all my miniature dollhouse stuff as I go and putting
them on the dining room table to be photographed to sell.  It sounds like a
lot but really isn't.  I have empty boxes everywhere and I just keep putting
things into those boxes as I go.  It is actually quite organized in a way -
have done this so many times but never purged as much as this.

So off to the rest.  navy - everyone here supports me as much as I do them.
Seems some times that in the past 4 years I have always been asking for
support between the enbrel reaction and the recovery as well as the rituxan.
I love sharing anything I can that makes things better.  It is a tough row
to hoe so to speak.

Hope you are feeling a little better today.  Just watch it doesn't turn into
pneumonia - get in fast if you are having trouble breathing too much.

I took the third 10mg tablet at noon.  The nurse told me to go back on the
30mg until I see the doctor.  I feel so much better now.  Very little
shortness of breath.  Thanks for the advice.  I would have called 911 if I
did have too much trouble.  They can get here faster than my son can.  They
can also decide if I need to go in.

Hi Kelly and all,
First I am sorry to hear that things have progressed towards a legal
separation or divorce. You know what is best for you though, and know
what has brought you to this place. the decision you will make will be
the best one, I am sure. Life is short, and we all deserve to be
happy. Who knows what the future will bring; it may be that you get
back together, or not. whatever the outcome, I hope it results in a
better place than you are at now.

I was without cable or telephone service until yesterday, just before
I had to leave for my appointment with the rheumy. He suggested that I
schedule my next rituxin for after the surgery but before I leave the
hospital. I am not sure how I will make the follow-up visit two weeks
later, but I will manage somehow.

This house is huge. I love it though. the shower is being installed
right now. it is quite a process, and the former owner/builder of this
house has been working on the shower for 3 days already since I have
been here, and also before I moved in. it is quite the process. it
should be useable tomorrow. in the meantime, there is a shower
downstairs. I may rent out the basement in the future as it is a huge
space, is finished nicely, and would be a waste to leave empty. I had
not been downstairs before since there was no railing and I could not
go down. I was surprised when I saw it as it seems huge.

I have not yet sat outside with the cool drink. I have been so tired
and the pain level has been high. I did go to see the fireworks on
Canada Day, but otherwise have been either unpacking or doing similar
things. this house is big, but it is still hard to find a spot for
everything.

I am so glad to be connected to the real world again though.
Kelly - 03 Jul 2009 17:29 GMT
So glad to hear your move went okay.  Will email or phone later in the
week - heading out right now.  give yourself a day to relax as much as
possible and try to get the pain and fatique under control.  you have been
in the middle of a whirlwind for so long Rose.

Glad you are back connected - feels horrible not to be able to communicate
doesn't it.

Sounds like a fascinating place.  When you are feeling much better, I would
love to see some pictures.  I've always wanted a big old house with a
squeaking swing on the porch to sit in in the evening and watch the
fireflies.  We don't have fireflies down here any more.  I think I saw one
or two a couple of years ago.  They do a drive through spraying at night for
the mosquitos and I think the mosquitos took the fireflies with them in
their death throes.  Darn.  That is one of the fondest memories I have of my
childhood is catching fireflies and watching them in bottles and then
letting them go again.  As for having the big old house, I'm afraid I am no
longer capable of taking care of one.  It's a shame to have a house like
that and not be able to keep it up.  Hope your shower is done soon.  I
didn't realize how refreshing a shower could be until I couldn't take baths
anymore (durn UTIs).  It was so nice, after getting sweaty, to feel clean so
quickly.

I hope you get your shower done and soon. Boy it sure sounds like you really
were pushing it. I hope you can slow down now and get some rest time in.
glad you love the house. It sounds like it will be good for you. hey the
basement might be good for hot days to cool down some.

glad you are back with us. take your time now settling in ok so that you
don't overdo it.

Darn is right.  I remember at age 7 and 8 living in Virginia and
doing exactly what you described.

I never saw a firefly after we left Virginia and came to California.
Some folks say they never existed west of Texas.

> I feel the boys missed out on alot because of that.

I'll have to ask my 2 boys who spent time in Delaware and Virginia
in the '80s if they saw fireflies.  Never thought of the subject
until it popped up here a couple days ago.  <G>

On the way home from church yesterday, we passed a heavy equipment
rental firm with a banner:  Big Toys For Big Boys.

I immediately thought of this thread.   <G>
