Yeah, Pax, we know DH would only be a carrier, after 10 years of being on Plavix, he would have bled to death if he had the actual disease! He stopped taking it before his clavicle surgery, and never went back, with the OK of his doctor. And, I also don't have any of the issues listed. I really hope they don't have to go down the IVF route, as nothing is showing up yet.
We are being realistic about the house. Most likely, we would not get an offer this fall, so it's not like we haven't already expected to move before it's sold. We just hate spending our investments for retirement to fix the septic. They do have a special loan program for people in this situation, but, we really don't want to have debt. We know we are lucky to have access to funds to pay for this, but it sucks when you are this close to retirement. DH's bonus will cover it, and we can re-invest some $ in February. A few years ago, DH would be beside himself now, but he's learned some things from me about mindfulness!
Blueberry, we will move before we sell. We had planned for that, anyway. The rennos are going on schedule, but poor DH is having to be there, like a foreman, since we are using Lowe's for the major stuff. When we remodeled this house, we had a person from the place doing this.
Emily, I was thinking about you, when I saw the weather, this morning. I know you are not on the west coast of Mexico, but I hope the storm doesn't take any unexpected turns toward you.
I bagged my ride today. It's 48 and extremely windy. Had my down jacket on when I went shopping. The sun is only half out, too. Thinking maybe I'm the one who is nuts, since I saw people riding in shorts and, a runner in a sleeveless top and shorts. I know you get hotter running, but, in no way is this a sleeveless/shorts day. I don't mind the temperature, but the wind really bothers me. We were supposed to do a metric Sunday, but it is going to rain in the AM. It's on the south shore, a new area to ride in, but I am not going to travel 1+ hr. to ride in the rain. We'll do at least 50 miles tomorrow, and hopefully get something in Sunday afternoon.
