House Showing

Yesterday we showed our house for the last time in 2009 to a couple with no kids (still at home) and two horses.  They absolutely loved the place and want it.  They just have to sell their house in ???.  I can’t remember the name of the town they live in here in western Washington.

We have Jennifer looking at a house we found on the internet in Alpine.  It was built in 1974, which is older than I like, but if it’s in good shape and we can make it into something we can love….

But there are still the two big “IFs”: they have to lower their asking price on their house the sell it, and we have  to find something we both like to live in.

We put it in the hands of the Lord a long time ago, and so far, the dominoes are falling in order.  Oh, there’s another big “IF”—if they make and offer that we can accept!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

“I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas…”  Actually, I AM getting “somethin’ for Christmas; it’s your Dad who was getting nothing for Christmas, as per his request.  Since our company isn’t coming until Janurary 11, I just saw a bright red down vest that I want to see on him.  His work clothes are oh so colorless, so I ordered it and will surprise him with it.

My best Christmas gift (I hope) will also come in January—the implanted pump.  Since nothing has worked so far, it’s hard to get excited about this one, but if administering morphine directly on the spot from which the pain emanates doesn’t work, nothing will!

Christmas will be quiet as a mouse, not that we have any mice, so I’m trying to get Scrooge to take me out for Thai food that night.  He doesn’t see the need!  I see I’m going to have to forceful on this.

Have a safe, healthy, fun-filled Christmas.  We wish we were there, at each of your homes.

It Worked!

The morphine  worked pretty well.  I’ll give it another try next week to see if it was just a fluke.  It’s gotta work ‘cause what I’m taking regularly DOESN’T work anymore!

Next “Silver Bullet”

Went to Olympia to a special pharmacy to obtain some morphine which will be injected into the trouble spot on Monday.  All prayers welcome!  I don’t have many alternatives after this other than to rely on pills.  My insurance company must be tearing  its hair out!
