So today was much better than yesterday.

Although apparently rodents have been feasting on my battery wires and that added ANOTHER thousand dollars to the already 2K repair estimate. John's job is just in the knick of time. We decided not to take his car in for another couple of weeks we couldn't handle any more bad car news.

He also got his epidurals, so hopefully his back pain will improve, and the MD has not called yet about his X rays for his foot, though we think there's something broken in there.

Lucy has one lady interested in her, who has a dog... so we'll see. Not holding my breath, but I would so love to have her settled.

Mom is better, though SEVERELY depressed. She can walk with a walker quite well now. But is still confined mostly to the house.

Grandpa should be out of the rehab in a week. And my uncle FINALLY (after 10 years) is agreeing with the rest of the family that my grandfather and my grandmother need to be moved to single story condo with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths (instead of the two story home with 4000 square feet and five bedrooms and three baths they have now). So that's progress.

I'm better too, stress wise. This vacation has sucked big time. But... with luck things are on a bit of an upswing. MAYBE Friday we can actually go out and have a little fun.

Thank you so much for all your support, and prayers, and assistance and dust.

Just wanted to share the good, as well as the bad.

Gypsy, I''m so glad that things are looking up, even if it''s not as far up as we''d all like for you. One thing at a time, though, right? The car thing stinks but at least it''s only a car -- the people in your life sound like they''re slowly mending, which is the most important thing. Sending you more dust for continuing progress and no more injuries, illnesses, or car issues!

Congratulations on the new job!
I do hope for a quick recovery for him. It''s not fun starting a new job lying on your back.
And here''s to having fun on Friday! I hope the other issues would start to look up soon.

YAY. Foot''s not broken. So just lots of anti-inflamatories.

Octavia, thank you so much honey you are so sweet. One thing at a time, indeed.



Thank you so much Choro, tomorrow he has to go into his new job to discuss details, and do some paperwork. So, after that we might get a little fun too. We''ll see.

We were going to go see Wicked in the city, but with the car bills, Nuh uh. Not this month.

Now he needs to kick butt at his new job, I need to keep mine, and everyone needs to stay healthy, and the economy needs to improve. One thing at a time.

Sorry about your mom, Gypsy, but glad to hear that Grandpa''s doing better and that your uncle has realized that Grandma and Grandpa need a more age-appropriate home.

Things are finally looking up - I couldn''t be happier if it were my family!

Aww thank you everyone. I want to reply in person but my computer is having fatal error issues (fortunately it''s not MY problem, it''s my work computer so it''s their problem) so I have to get off.

I will hopefully be able to get back on with our home laptop when John returns.

Many hugs and sincerest thanks. Will talk to you soon.

And if I haven''t reponded anywhere else, it''s because of this issue as well. Sorry.
