Knock that kinda talk off!  Even if you are only kidding!!!  You don't need
those kinds of thoughts popping up in your brain.

Things seem so much differnt these days than they did back in the yrs that
those of us who are happily married with wonderful husbands and grown
children......believe me everyone has had their bumpy rides in their
"marriage" or long term relationships....but know that their is a soul mate
out there for everyone (I truly believe that)  Some of us find them when we
are young and stay together forever, some take one or more trial runs, some
find them in later yrs and haven't had any trial runs.  But they are out
there!!!!!

Find a kid that is out of school for the summer and pay them to help you and
to do the things you can't do!  It will be money well spent and will lessen
the stress you feel because it is not done and you can't do it.  If I had
the extra money I would hire someone to help instead of placing all the load
on my husband.  But I don't feel guilty because I used to do it all and
raised a child that I home schooled and worked a full time job....so I
figure it is no different for him working all day and having the other stuff
to do <g>

Listen to all you happily married ladies with wonderful husbands and
children!  Jeez it makes me feel like I'm missing ALOT!  It's no fair!
My cats aren't even nice to me!  I'm not likely to ever have a husband
or children seeing as I'm already stricken with Lupus and APA, (I'm not
sure if I'm sad or glad about that), but I can't even get my Mom to
help me out around the house!  Not even for money!  Yesterday I took a
head-first plunge out a plate glass window!  And today I dropped a door
on my big toe!  Maybe I should go roller skating and put myself out of
my misery!  {sob} ;-)

I know that summer sends many of us in different directions. So before
everyone leaves ... ... ...  how about a quick update?

We are in compliance with the city as of Friday morning. We still have the
final coat of paint to put on the porch but primer was enough to satisfy the
city.

I worked in the garden today and got many of my perennials and annuals
planted. I actually got some sun on my face and it looks a wee bit tanned.
That looks so odd for me. I did have my big western hat on but it still got
some sun somehow.

With the pressure from the city off of us it will take a little while for me
to catch up on every thing else that needs doing but at least the stress is
gone. My body still aches and I think time will fix that problem. The
neuralgia is still a factor and has not totally let up. I know without a
doubt that it is tied to a lymphnode in my neck. I wonder if they can just
remove a lymphnode. Would it cure the problem?

We are headed into hazy, hot and humid. Tonight (right now) it is 69F (about
20C)  degrees and 71% humidity. Spring weather in gone!

(((HUGS to ALL)))
