    Well....call from Laura finally. She is not coming this week and I am not feeling well, but will try to get some more things done like mopping and running the vacuum.
    Disappointed.

      Here's some good news. I just took my monthly bath. You can take those clothes line clips off your noses.

      AND I just went to the store again. I forgot Sam's dry food, and it was all out, and I know she does eat it, so off I went.

      And when I got back, I finally pulled that driver's side window SHUT. I came up with the idea a few weeks ago, and am just trying it, and it worked!

      Better slow than never!

        Howie, good for you. You have been rather smart yourself today. See you do get things done.

        By the way, my driver's side headlight lens has moisture inside it. The young man who came over and polished my headlights looked one up on the internet. He does not know anything about mechanics but was just trying to get the best deal for me. He told me who to call to have it installed. The part was $90.00. I called the people he recommended and they advised me not to get the one he found on the internet. They said it might not fit. The told me they could get one and replace it for $390.00.

        They of course were talking about replacing the whole light which they said it would need. However, obviously I don't want to pay that much when I was not counting on it at all. Howie, any thoughts about what I should do. Could it be just the lens or are they right that the whole thing would need replacing and if I get one somewhere else that it might not fit?

          I would think if the headlights were left on for a while, it would evaporate the moisture. Leave the engine on, and the lights on hi-beam. Do it during the daytime, and no one would even notice.

            IVIG went well. I take two consecutive Ativan for it to prevent spasms. Lease me woozy but completely pain free. hat a blessing to have zero, zero pain for hours at a time. Still am pain free at home, Too bad the dizzy is part of the equation. Was able to do stuf at homewithout the w;c and thus not overwhelmed by al the stuff I tackled.

            I got a try a surf day with it.

              Sunshine, I am so glad that you had a pain free day. I hope that dizziness goes away.

                Great Sunshine, seems Ativan is your friend.

                  Saw the nephrologist today. He wrote new lab orders for the coming year...monthly and quarterly. He is concerned about fluid retention but not so much BP (which is what he is seeing me for). A1C is going up but so is my white blood count so he ordered a urine culture and said if there was bacteria he would write a refillable script for an antibiotic as "you know your body better than we do so you need to be able to jump on the treatment for it."

                  I feel as if my knuckles are dragging and am having a very difficult time the last few days doing basic things.

                    Cherie, I hope you can find a solution to the fluid retention problem.

                        I woke up this morning and the sun is shining strongly....it feels great. Cherie’s comment about feeling like her knuckles are dragging is so perfect a description. I hope we all can get our knuckles off the ground and smile again soon!

                          Hi all! It was pasta day! It's all finished, and all the pots and pans washed, and put away. Now it will simmer, and I'll eat around 5:00. I'm on my third mug of coffee.

                          Everyone have a great day!

                            Yes, Linda I agree. It would be nice if all of us were well and feeling good.

                            Cherie, sounds as though this Doctor works well with you. Even as a Nurse, giving a prescription for an antibiotic to be filled at your discretion is probably unusual. Glad you have him. I hope you start feeling better soon. Your trip will be so much more pleasurable if you do.

                            Hi Howie, hope your pasta was good and that you had a good day.

                              Because of all the rain we've had in Calif. this year, following years of drought, we have had been having what is being called a "superbloom" of wildflowers in various places. Most commonly it's acres of California poppies and lupine, but my brother sent this picture of the wild mustard covered hills taken from his street in San Clemente today. Pretty, but an allergist's dream!

                              I'm hoping the thousands of poppies that have come up in our front yard will provide us with our own personal superbloom soon.
