If you're wondering..........

I'm still here....

Just haven't had much energy this week...

The cold I thought I got rid of last week seems to be popping up again and I feel yucky all over, with a low grade fever and sinuses that are killing me.

Been taking naps when Boo-boo does, which helps, but boy, those 5-days-a-week-babysittings are gonna kill me.

The latest in the Bugs saga:

She finally caught a helpful soul at her mortgage bank who explained a few things to her. He also gave her step by step directions on what happens when you decide to walk away from your home. Which is something she is probably going to do.

So she stops paying her mortgage. She will have approximately (from what I understand) two months to get her shit together, and get out (before the sherrif throws her out)

She has been packing like a mad woman, cleaning and tossing. She's hiring a lawn service to cut all the grass and plow the backyard. She's shopping around for a storage company to stow her belongings while she looks for another place to live.

She dropped a major hint the other night. Her new friend and his mom offered her a place to stay during the "in between time" It sounded like she wants to take them up on their offer. We offered her the same time after time, only to be stonewalled, but in hindsight, this might not be such a bad idea.

In the meantime I ask no questions, give no advice unless asked (Ha!), just to keep my own sanity. It's working so far this week.

Boo-boo seems to have shifted a few gears. She has grown a few inches while we weren't looking, her vocabulary is expanding rapidly, I can see a few molars popping through, and she is developing a little attitude :>)

Talked with my sister earlier today, She was thrilled The Netherlands Field hockey team won the Gold in the Olympics. My sister, who has dyed her hair for...ever....has been letting it grow out and popped up with a beautiful head of gray hair. An amazing revelation.

No word on the wheelchair...I don't feel like getting assertive about it, it'll happen when it happens...

Time for my nap...

SGMKJ!

So you're the one that gave me this stuff! Tisk, tisk! I'm using Musinex, Zyrtec, Coricedin HBP and I don't know what else to try and continue breathing. Think I'll go take some more. Cough. Cough. Hope you feel better soon.
