More Stuff

Your comments convinced me to work on more parts to "our" story. But, first, I wanted to catch you up on a few current events.

My dreaded adrenal test yesterday went off very well! My hesitance and fears were unjustified. There were NO ill effects throughout the procedure. It was a piece of cake I actually slept through most of it. I'll learn the findings on the 27th.

In my outing, I sent off 2 packages via UPS (printers to daughter & Nance). I set up an eye appointment—haven't had an exam in a while, but no problems. And picked up an Rx from the pharmacy. My eye exam will be this afternoon—I think I'll beat the deep freeze headed this way, but will take big down coat, in case.

The truck brakes are still a humongous puzzle to Midas—they've consulted everyone they could think of. But they're still seeking answers. 

Sister Linda (addict enabler) called from SC seeking info to get a computer today. It'd be great to have her an email away, again. 

Cessna Wichita will lay off 2,000 (announcement on TV). Son working for Cessna will not be at risk, (supervisor) but I need to call him to ask the ramifications to him. The "crunch" is getting close to home.

Other son suffered a broken water heated which ruined the floors they just worked so hard installing (sigh).

Daughter & hubby have taken in a 5 year old girl (Danny's niece's child) from social services—it is temporary for now, but might become permanent (new granddaughter?) Mom had 4 out of wedlock, (all different fathers!) and suffered terrible postpartum depression, with attempted suicide after most recent. The other kids have been placed with their fathers.

An eye exam today went well—getting new lenses my Rx hasn't changed much, but I need more prism, to eliminate double vision.

And, finally, we will be getting a new kitchen floor, range, and dishwasher next week—will complete our kitchen. Will send pictures.

Huge hugs around!

Wow you lead a very busy life Katy! Your daughter is a blessed individual for taking in his niece's child. How sad for the Mother, I hope she is getting counseling for this condition. Maybe she can get the kids back after she gets better. We are shopping for a new range too, what kind did you go with? Would love to see the pics of the kitchen. Di

We got our range at Sears—Mel (does all cooking) is really excited for it. It has a center burner (5 burners) which handles a griddle, and the burners have different temps from the griddle down to a low simmer. It's a gas range with cast iron grates—just what Mel always wanted. We got it for a song! Hugs

So glad your adrenal test went well yesterday. Can't believe your still having problems with the brakes. Our friends are too!! What a wonderful thing your daughter is doing. God Bless her. Wow, your kitchen will really look fantastic now. I remember the pictures from before and thought it looked great. What type of floor are you going to get?
