Re: A house

LOL - I can just picture that house! We had to change all the light fixtures
and faucets when we moved in here. Hang in there, Kelly, October is not so
far away.

Hugs, DeeTee

Well we won't be homeless (not that my husband ever doubted we would get a
rental house but I sure was getting discouraged. ) We have a rental until
October 31st but our new house will be finished by October 15th so that is
great.

Our new place is on the waterfront where the BC Ferries start to come in.
We don't see the docking but can see the Ferries swing around and lots of
sailboats. The side of the house that overlooks the water is all windows
and one large fireplace so is nice.

The yard is inaccessible to me but that is okay for 5 months. The house
has a large deck but the front and back yard are all hill with grass. 4
steps to get in and out of the house but I can handle that (2 and then
another 2.) If needed we can ramp it but think I can do it. I will not be
able to do laundry - that will fall to the housekeepers and Pat (tough
luck).

The house itself is a picture - yuck! It has turquoise fixtures in the
powder room bathroom, 3 bathrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs. The walls
and ceilings are 3" cedar but the light fixtures are right out of the 60's
or 70's. Big wood wagonwheel type with metal hanging on them. Yuck! The
carpet is rust and orange shag. Triple yuck. But its is clean, they will
take the dog and cat and it is for 6 months so it is okay. We take
possession May 15th and have until June 15th to move out of here.

So things are looking up. I am in an incredible amount of pain and
fatique but am trying to take my painkillers a bit more to reduce that. I
go see my rd a week tomorrow and will try to get the rituxan started.
Really need to ensure I am healthy before that. The shingles still have
residual nerve pain and itching. I also have a pain in my side which
comes and goes that needs to be checked out. Hard to tell these days where
the pain starts and stops. Trying hard to stay upbeat and managing okay.
I feel I am bitching but everyone around me says no I am not - must be
doing a good job of spreading it around.

Anyhow things are looking up. One less stressor in my life and am really
excited about the new house! Moving in October sure beats moving in
December!

Take care everyone,
Kelly in BC
