Thanks for asking.I was telling a nurse ,she couldnt believe it .She said thats very odd..

So, How Did Your T'Giving Go?

Well, I know I am blessed when I got the call from my BIL's wife, saying she is the luckiest person in the world to have us as family. We had such a wonderful dinner. Good people, good food. I love leaving a dinner where I want to bring everyone home with me because the day was too short. My niece made mention that I was looking very stylish the last couple times she has seen me and I blamed it on our 'How not to look old thread!' (Of course, I admitted that I had splurged a tad on my wardrobe and hair - in celebration of Max's first paycheck, which meant a raise for me. We have another wedding coming up so it was fun to talk weddings, dresses and posture while the family bartender was mixing some kind of drinks. LOL! We spent the night at my MIL house and I got another wake up call. She is 85 and needs more help than she is getting. We must remember to use our dishwashers more as we age, not less. Also, dish soap should never live in the back of a cabinet, if you aren't using the dishwasher. Luckily, Safeway is really close. We stop by Safeway on our way home. We buy every thing we plan to eat at her house while we are there... Amazing that the rest of her house is sparkling clean. I am going down after Christmas to bleach her dishes and silverware; throw out her expired food, etc. All this said, do you know she is natural brown haired? Uh huh. She dresses nice too but her lower oven is now being used as storage. OK. After Christmas, I'll be on it. I love my DH's family. They are wonderful. Informed, happy, giving, educated, appreciating, fun. How lucky are we? We had the best day.

There are lots of choices for dialysis- in center hemodialysis three times a week (which I do), nocturnal in-center dialysis six or seven nights a week,ambulatory dialysis, Peritoneal dialysis done at home plus home hemodialysis. The last two require a medically trained "partner" and involve having a private sanitized room, a water supply and storage space for all the supplies. Hopefully anyone starting dialysis is given enough information to make a personal choice. And you can change methods at any time. I'm happy with in-center dialysis. The nurses and technicians do all the work and insert the needles, and they are right there if I have any problems. Sort of like childbirth-I chose to deliver my babies in a hospital.

How did your Easter/holiday go?

I'm sorry to hear all that Azzalea. I hope things are getting better. We had a beautiful day here. I slept in until 8 (although Gary was up early as usual), then I made brownies (which I decorated with pink and yellow easter eggs (designed in decorator frosting) and jelly beans plus mixed up my corn casserole to take for dinner at my sister in law's house. Then we walked to Easter Services at a small church just a block from home. We enjoyed the church and the services tremendously and plan to go back this coming Sunday. I don't know why we've never stopped in there before, during the 10 months we've lived here. There are two of these little churches near us. This one only one block and the other only two blocks from our home. After that, it was time to take the dogs on a nice long walk (did I mention it was a warm sunny day) and then pack up to go for dinner, which was at 3 pm. Although most of the yards here in town are still under several inches of snow, we did walk by one yard where crocus were blooming up by the front door. What a pretty sign of spring! We stopped at Walmart on the way, wanting to pick up an Easter Lily for Gary's mom, but the few they had left were pretty sad looking so we ended up with a pot of tulips instead. Just one pretty red tulip was opened and there were a dozen buds so they will last her a while, then she can plant them in the yard. We stopped by her house for a few minutes and then went on to his sister's for dinner. Spent a couple of enjoyable hours there, then stopped back at his mom's again to check on the sump pump in the basement. The hose had come unhooked so the pump was working but no water flowing and there was a foot of water standing down there. This is an old house with a primitive basement and it's like that every spring, so nothing new there. Gary was able to wade in and get it going ok. After that, we drove around for a while 'out in the bush' as Gary calls it. Just enjoying seeing the snow and the ice on Lake Superior melt. There's not much growing out there yet, but we saw a few deer and the birch and aspen trees are lovely (even bare) with all that pretty white bark. Then it was home for another walk with the puppies and a couple of hours of tv before bedtime. All in all a lovely day!

Going to go look at a house today! (long)

Sue, it has a heat pump, but also radiant heat in the ceiling, which I love. The realtor didn't know if it still worked or not, though. She's going to find out. I did have my house inspected but I don't think it did me a lot of good. There were still problems with it after I moved in that he never mentioned in his report. I have looked at a lot of houses in town, though, none recently other than this one. There aren't alot of big houses in the area I want to move. If there are, they're a story and a half which I don't want, even though they are super cute. At my age and looking forward, I don't want anything with stairs. The house is nice, but I have some problems with it. The closets all are loose on the bottom, not attached to floor tracking. Thought that was kinda weird. There are lots of closets, though, and I love that. The floor slopes in a few rooms, like the master bathroom, kitchen and garage. They redid the flooring in the kitchen and dining area but didn't cut the tile right, or put edging or anything around the edges so there are big ugly gaps near the edge where the flooring and cabinets/walls should meet. It's an old house, built before 1978 so I didn't think it was going to be perfect. I do love the separate rooms, living room, den, dining room, laundry room, and the bedrooms are much bigger than mine. I'd only have to run one line of fencing to keep the dogs in the backyard. There is a separate area completely fenced off but I would use that area for a garden. The hardwood floor is beautiful. It also has new windows. I also love the built in desk in the den, built in shelves in that same room around the fireplace. I think I'm going to call about getting pre-approved and then maybe go back and look at it again before I have an inspection done or go any further.

Sorry that woman still hasn't been told off. She is certainly a "bully". Only a grown-up-one.

Let's all hope she got the message loud and clear and that you have easier times emotionally during dialysis. I'm glad you spoke up about your feelings and also that you did it in private. If her behaviour does not change, at least if you have to take it further, you will be able to say that you tried to tell her to leave you alone. WTG Kim.
