Very sorry to hear about your Sister havasu. Please tell her a complete stranger (me) said a prayer for her. She is right, we tend to get our priorities out of whack once in awhile, getting all caught up in what we think is important.

That's the drive behind my move. Money isn't everything.

Hey guys, I had no intention of posting a "downer" for everyone. She has had Stage 4 Ovarian cancer for the last 4 years. She was given 6 months to live, but with great doctors and great advances in chemotherapy, she is still here to talk about it. Her and her husband are currently packing their suitcases for a weeklong trip to Mammoth Mountain for some great skiing, so although she knows her end will be shorter than for others, she is living her life to the fullest. That is more than many of us can hope to expect, right?

I should probably clean that thing^ Too bad I have to pull the floor out of the bedroom to get to it.

I am happy, my alternator was still working but fluctuating and squealing a little. I figured I would rather rebuild it now then in the middle of nowhere. I gave my brother one of my work trucks so he wants to repay the favor so he is here all week helping me with projects I havent had time to do.

That is just so adorable!
In the TMI department, I've been having my period for over 3 weeks straight now. Apparently I started menopause last year-- it explains the weight gain, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, excessive sweating, and other unpleasant symptoms. In some ways I'm relieved, but if the bleeding doesn't stop I might have to get a uterine ablation surgery. The upside is that my cramps have not been as vile as they used to be and my mother now understands why I keep forgetting things so she's being a little more patient. The memory lapses have had some humorous results. Like, I put a frozen dinner in the microwave still in the box-- which is something I have never done before. Fortunately it turned out ok. Or when I went to put the milk away and I started to walk into the bathroom with it before I realized that the milk goes in the refrigerator. I tried to put it in the microwave and while almost putting something that was supposed to go into the microwave into the fridge instead. Supposedly the memory issues are temporary so I hope they go away soon.
In other news, my brother is about ready to throw in the towel on his truck, cut his losses, sell it for whatever he can get, and buy something else. The transmission just started slipping. The meth addict who worked on it screwed up all sorts of things on it but he found a new guy who is actually reliable-- but the parts are pricey and he saw how much our friend sunk into his truck and doesn't want to bother with it. And then there is the matter of an outstanding traffic ticket he has-- the ticket printer was running out of ink so it wasn't legible enough for him to see the court date or find out how to pay it. He looked up the number for the office to call about it and nobody ever answered the phone-- they don't have an answering machine. Not sure what he's going to do about it.

Zanne, I believe you are too young for plumbing problems. I'd recommend seeing a doctor.

Well, I am 40 and it is not that unusual to start menopause at this age-- but I did make sure to talk to my doctor about it and I will see a specialist if this plumbing issue doesn't clear up. A friend of mine had the problem for 6 months and had to go to the ER from blood loss several times before getting the ablation procedure.

My girlfriend just had an ablation and a D and C (must have something to do with electricity) a few weeks ago. It was an outpatient surgery and easy-peasy according to her. She did shut down the hen house for awhile though!

This same sister is in Mammoth Mountain as I type. Take a look at the snow, and her smile!

I had a great day today and I am beat. I ignored most all business calls. I spent several hours on the roof of my RV fixing bad seams and leaks and replacing my shower skylight. Then I spent several hours installing my gate openers and getting them working. All is good now.

But yet no pics of the gate? I'm ashamed of you.
