LBTC-I keep meaning to post this then forget. :rolleyes:
You sound as though your energy is up. Are you having more frequent good days? I am hoping so. :) I am glad you were able to get out and ride. :cool:
Yeah, been thinking about it since mine on the 24thQuote:

I felt sorry for them but since my mutt and I needed a place to live...not sorry enough to say "psst, if you'd move out, clean the clutter and crushed velvet paintings, paint the joint and at least reface the cabinets you'd get much much more."
They had an awful realtor who'd put it on the market, didn't sell, lowered the price, on the market again, didn't sell, dropped the price and so on till I came around and said "hmmm, dirty, greasy, dingy, needs paint, new floors and drawers .... but....potential".
I just refinanced which lowered my mortgage from :confused: :mad: :( :eek: to more like just :eek: , got a small equity loan...let's see what Trek can do. It's time to nest. Place looks like I went through a break up, loss of a parent, then trained to do back to back AIDS Rides ... cause I did.
Oh, and I've been through this before so it's not the first remodel but Spazzdog!! I'll need design help. :cool:
You described my house/kitchen perfectly...two differences, location and you are doing something to better the kitchen. :pQuote:

Thanks for asking, mom! :p I am on day 11 of pretty darned good energy, considering. Perhaps the new drug is helping already. Blood tests all returned normal results, so there is no direct explanation for the terribly low energy I was in. I'm just so glad to feel like me again! And, boy! Do I ever have a lot of stuff to do at home and at work and in the yard and on the bike, etc, to catch up from that month long drag!Quote:

Knot - glad you're home safe and yes, sorry you have to go to work.
CWR - thanks! I'm liking feeling better already
Oh, and spring is in the air, and the herons are back in town. If you already get my picture a day, you already got one picture. I'll be watching for perfect light again, and driving the whole 3 minutes it takes to get there some night this week for more pics. They are such amazing birds - somehow they are graceful and regal looking, while still being gawky and geeky. heehee.
Hugs and butterflies to all of you!

Thanks Spazz, you have an incredible eye.Quote:

...and this is mine next door.
It's overcast today but you can get the idea. Took the boring ivy out and agapanthus which is just a home for snails.
So far I've planted azalea, abutalon, pineapple sage, yarrow, wooly lambs ear, miniature roses, nasturtiums as ground cover, the lavender is happiest of all there...the idea is more privacy for me, get the whole shebang lining the front walkway. The birds like it and who knows it could ad curb appeal.
And I helped!
I pointed at a patch of dirt and said "dig there"!
Yup, I'm a big help...:D
