You are so lucky in so many ways. Isn't it wonderful how we can count our
blessings instead of always looking at the down side to everything.

Same as me... here and coping best i can...
I did hire a cleaning girl and it has been a 'life saver' for me for sure!
I am lucky to be retired with a man of 34 years marriage that is all there
for me.. and I know it! I'd say that says it all as we are living where we
want to be as first choice during our 'golden years now' and all is very
well!
of course it is taken on a day to day basis but today? it is a good day!

My hugs to you all in this ng of ours... it too has been a huge help through
the past several years with crises ongoing of their own volition .... nice
to see others having the same problems and then finding out how they worked
things out ... so let's just all keep talking and sharing our life stories
as we live with our illnesses.... my 2 cents worth fwiw!

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)))
