Good luck.

I have not received so much as a nibble on my latest barrage of resumes. July seems to be my 'fix-it' month. Whatever 'it' happens to be - career-related or random stuff around the house. I went to the hardware store for one little thing yesterday and left with half the store. At first I attributed it to the fact that I moved to this place in July, and it needed a lot of work. Then I thought it might have something to do with all the stress I have at work at this time of year - a need to feel some form of control over my life. I think that's the heart of it, but the more I think about it - this has been a theme since before I moved here, before I had this job. Something must trigger it, but I can't figure out what.

Oh boy, I feel so tired! Just did my annual stand in a marquee all day behind a bookstall, although I usually do two days, but I have handed over the responsibility to someone else tomorrow. I'm really getting too old for this. It actually began Friday night when we picked up the bookstall, having dropped the grandchildren off home after a sleepover, and drove 25 miles to the show site to set up. I stayed overnight and was up at 7 this morning to get to the showground in time to set up all the computer equipment. It was raining Friday night and we didn't want to leave the computer stuff in a damp tent all night. Tomorrow is definitely going to be a "put your feet up" day.

Mixed emotions. Tuesday we head back to Nigeria. The goodbyes don't seem to get easier. I am looking forward to the school year, but filled with anxiety about what 2 years is going to do to my parents. I don't want to be away that long. And of course, my kids. Argghhh. I don't want to go into the long explanation of why we don't just stay in America, let's just say this is life and it's happening.

See you in 2017... or sooner, but the next time we come I do NOT want it to be to bury someone.

friday came and we were all set. and i stopped it. he seems still lucid. i have to carry him a great deal. he sleeps all day.

but i could not do it.

selfish i know, but i keep thinking he will just pass in the night.

...

and thank you for everyone's well wishes and prayers. i delayed the inevitable. but i feel less guilt than putting him down early.

just saw this... I don't know about that being selfish.
I'm glad that you didn't. (in that distant, "I don't know the real sacrifices in these choices over where you are" sort of way)

I believe I have dealt with every random crazy person in this city today, and that's a lot of random crazy people. Full moon tonight and it's a blue moon, too. This explains much.

Friday = good

Cold = bad

Go to police station for license application = meh

I guess it all balances out...

My wife and I are selling our house, or at least trying to.

So we have had 3 offers and all of them pulled out when they look up polybutylene plumbing, which we have to disclose on a disclosure statement. So it appears the only way we can get a sale is to have the plumbing replaced.

Did I mention that the house is built on a slab?

I hired a group that specializes in this, so yesterday they cut out parts of the sheet rock throughout the house and ran all new plumbing. Today they send a sheet rock and painting specialist to fix the sheetrock and blend it all in.

Oh but this morning, what did I see but a wet spot on the ceiling that was growing (albeit not very fast) and a small leak in the closet of the main bathroom where they ran the new pipe. So I called and basically told the guy (I wasn't ugly but I was blunt) that I wanted it fixed today and the sheet rock finished today. He called back and was sending someone right over. But come on... this is what you do... at least do it right!

Sounds like a pain.

Off to a Militaria auction this morning, got an eye on two items that would look fabulous in my collection.

Holding thumbs that nobody else wants them...

It's difficult to find any kind of quality work these days. People aren't trained properly, they just don't care, they're using shoddy materials, or all of the above.

sorus- D'oh.. but bigger "D'oh" to having to deal with every crazy person in your city the other day. That sounds.. not fun.

I woke up feeling kind of discouraged, but... the plan was to get together with a friend for a walk in the sunshine with our (combined) 3 kiddoes, and we were able to... and that was awesome.
So I'm feeling pretty content now.

Here's some cheerful news of the week, though:
I finished my radiation therapy... and even got off without having to get any tatts.

wet spot on the ceiling that was slowly growing... yeah... that would pretty much horrify me.

Yeah!

It seems kinda anti-climactic on my end... by this point, the radiation treatment was not going too badly for me.

I've actually been told that sometimes we patients might get... what this one gal was describing as "separation anxiety"... from our health care professionals.. 'coz ya know.. seein' 'em five days a week for more than a month.

Great news on completing your course of therapy. Don't worry about separation angst, celebrate getting an additional portion of your time and life back. A bit less stress too, as you move closer to full remission.

Just keep the routine monitoring visits up. We out here will keep up the prayer / sending of Love and Light.
