My pet peeve is watching these 20 something first time home buyers moaning that the house doesn't have an "Open concept" or that the 5 year old kitchen cabinet doors have curves and there is no granite or stainless steel. "We will have to replace everything!" Obviously they have more money than we did at that age, but do they really want every house to look identical? My favorite house was the one with the most quirks. I like having something to decorate around - either to highlight or to try to distract from.....lol. Maybe because I have always had to.... but too much of a blank slate is really intimidating to me. My own mother told me yesterday that the leaded glass windows in my dining room look dated, and of course, the picture frame paneling in the den. When they become the trend again is when I will consider getting rid of them!

I wanted to give an update on my lingering shingles residual pain in my hip. I have been taking amitripitiline and tramadol 25 mg at night for a different condition. However it has helped reduce the intensity of the pain in my hip from the shingles. It has not completely gone away but it is much less painful and doesn't itch as much either. I am not happy about taking the tramadol nightly but since it is helping multiple problems I guess it is worth it.
