Sorry it's Been So Long

I've finished my ten days of amoxicillin, and only missed a few doses which I made up on the 11th day, and I am happy to report that nothing hurts and I'm no longer spewing, I mean coughing up or blowing out, colored phlegm and mucus. As a matter of fact I feel well enough to reschedule my PT appointments. I wonder how much taking three weeks off has set me back. Oh well. That's MS (only this time it's not) - two steps forward, time for a relapse. Or in my case, a sinus infection.

So Romeo is working out well. DH is allowing him into the living room - something he never did with our other dogs, and something I always hated. Dogs are pack animals and want to be with their peoples. Romeo spends a lot of his time on his blanket near DH, and he spends a lot of time near me in the living room. DH is definitely the top dog, because that's because he's the strongest. Romeo doesn't always obey me. His attention span is a little on the random side, but he is a gentle and very affectionate little boy.

We got a letter from the city today, complete with photos, telling us that we have to clean up the property. There is a vehicle in the alley behind our garage that had junk in its bed, and flat tires. It looks like it doesn't run, but (I think) it does. It was given to us, but we never had the title changed. Also there is a scaffold that DH made to help him to work on the roof (a project that materials were purchased for in 2004!), and a bunch of boards and crap and non-regulation garbage cans, and some used oil containers. Behind the garage is a pit - and easily the bane of the entire alley.

Then there is the front. We have a holly tree growing out of the sidewalk, there is ivy starting to get carried away, and a laurel hedge bordering the alley that needs at least 18" lopped off. I could go on, but you have the picture. I hate that this happened. It is so embarrassing to me, and there is nothing I can do about it. It will all come down to DH and DH is the one who is depressed. DH is the one who allowed this to happen. I have no money for gardeners. So DH has to be the one to put this right, depression or no depression. I'll let you know how it goes.

I went to lunch with some friends on Sunday, and it was really nice to see Lynn and Sue. I hadn't seen Sue for several years. I let the friendship slide because I just didn't feel strong enough to put myself out there enough to establish a new relationship. It was easier to let it go. To be honest I didn't feel I had much to offer. It was at a time when my MS was worsening and I was tired all the time. So I treated it like it was just ONE MORE THING.
One more thing that I couldn't handle at the time. How do I feel about it now? I'm not sure. Maybe better. I just don't know.

Sorority has a few things coming up. A meeting the first Thursday of May in which I will be installed as 1st Vice President. Then two days later, our annual Mothers' Day Luncheon. Then three weeks after that, our State Convention. Chapter will pay the $75 registration fee for me through our Sister Fund. But I either have to come up with some money to stay in the hotel, or hell, I don't know what, maybe stay home, get up at the butt crack of dawn, and drive there each day = not much fun. Much to ponder.

Good night, TTYL and Be Well,
