Ha, ha. Really, I have had much better days than this week. But I am moving on from things.

Sue

Took my son to road test for drivers lic. He didn't pass. The first thing they had him do is 90 degree back up parking, hit flag. He has had permit for 2 yrs, is 18. Not a good driver. Problem is our 2 cars, one is manual transmition the other a huge SUV. Does better in my parents small car.Can't afford to buy a different car for a while. He also has high functioning Aspergers syndrome (Just graduated w/b aver. from H.S.) so I think he has trouble with all the stimuli. I feel bad for him but relieved also.

This week has been leading up to the 1yr. date (June 21st) that I lost my husband. It's been a long,depressing week.

Country bumpkin, I'm sorry for the pain you're going through now. Sending good thoughts to you.

Monday DD and I both went to the doc after days of horrible coughing and cold stuff. DD had "just" a cold (a bad one) but I had a sinus infection and got drugged up for it. The prescription decongestant was $60 and written for 20 days supply! I told the pharmacist if I take it for 20 days I'm gonna need an intervention! She gave me 5 days for $15.

We also dropped of my van Monday b/c the air would not blow, hot or cold, no fan. I like this mechanic, came from a good reference. But the problem was not what he first thought and it took 4 days to get it solved, and $650. Required taking the whole dash apart. Wednesday evening he called to say to pick it up Thursday, he was on reconnecting "wire 50 of 120." Good grief! I know I could never do that job!

Wednesday evening the air in the house quit! Part needs replaced, $900 job can't be done til Tuesday next week. Fortunately, it's just one unit, so only the upstairs is hot.

Today a relative called to ask to "borrow" money. I laughed. Best they'll get from me is a listening ear and any advice I can offer. This is the second relative in 2 months, evidently I have some relatives who have a false idea of my fincancial situation! Hopefully when I keep saying no they'll stop calling me. At least for money. ;o)

Oh, Bump ... anniversaries like this can be so hard. I hope you know we'll be thinking of you and will feel the comfort of our love and caring.

this was my first week back at work following my double mastectomy and reconstruction. No naps! DANG! Plus, even tho I was very careful about what I wore, so nothing rubbed on the big incision, it is still very painful from me having to sit UP all day in basically the same position. So I'm just sore and tired.

But next week will be better, yes?

On the good side, it looks like DS may be finding a job soon. A friend's husband believe he'll have a job opening soon, and has asked to talk to DS. BLESSINGS!

DH and DS have spent close to three days in over 90 degree weather helping a neighbor by cutting up a large tree (trunk = 58-inch diameter!) that blew over during a storm the first of the week, just missing his house. This guy is not much older than DH, but in extremely poor health and lives 100% on Social Security. He was just beside himself when DH stopped by to ask if he needed help with the tree. I thought he was going to cry! I've been so proud of my guys!
