Women's clothing sizes confuse me.I went to the store to find a suit for my brother for our friends' wedding. Had to find him a bright red shirt that fit. Finding pants that fit wasn't too bad since he can wear XL (not sure what that translates into).For shirts & jackets it depends on the fit. He can wear 2xl or 3xl. For the jacket he had to get a size 52 just fit over his shoulders. I also wear 2xl or 3xl tops in womens sizes depending on the style and whether they run tight or loose. In loose fit I can sometimes wear XL. For pants I generally wear XL. I think that translates to size 16 or 18 but sizes are so inconsistent it seems.
I really wish we had some decent Chinese food around here!Then we ate at a chinese place before heading home.
So.... the hole in the floor is in the dining room, and there food dish is about 15 inches from that hole.
I have considered making their food.
Yes, my daughter is helping him raise his children. They moved about a month ago to a 3 bedroom, 3 story apt, out of a 1 bedroom apartment. He has 2 other children that live in Florida.
NAC: I believe it's because I am on BP meds and have a history of asthma. So... for now, I'm chicken
OCD and diet, this comes full circle to the gastroparesis problem again. Although I do agree.
My entire methylation pathway is a mess. Started out with bioactive forms of m6 and b12.
I try to take magnesium bisglycinate but man, after 3 days I am nearly tearful. Probably because it relaxes me and helps with anxiety levels. I always forget to only take it for 2 days and then not take it for 2 or 3 days.
Functional medicine. The closet MD that my insurance may pay a small amount for is about an hour away. It's on the list of things to do at some point.
On a good note. I was going through mail and got some encouraging words from mail that should have been tossed in December and I have since straightened my tiara and quit whining.
I forget that I am a child of God, this evening I was reminded. HiS divine intervention and promises are always on time.
Thanks! On to the next project...Yay!
How do it go with the plumber?So, I had a plumber come yesterday, I knocked the kitchen sink drain pipe loose 2 weeks ago when I moved the kitchen sink back.
We had (or maybe still have) little tiny black mice in our house when we moved in. Ruby got some small traps and we caught at least 15 of them. We chauffeured them, one at a time, over to the boat ramp and released them. I don't know how good their navigation abilities are but hopefully they aren't coming back. Meanwhile, Ruby adopted numerous cats that have strolled onto our property. She catches them in a live trap that we have and gets the cats neutered/spayed. 3 of the cats are still here and I know the cats do catch mice. . .we see them with mice all the time.Also, I can't remember if I posted a pic or not, however, I found the culprit that made this big hole.
We all have those thoughts. What brings me back to reality is seeing how high the rents are! And you know they just keep going up.The other day, I was irritated over the kitchen drain and considered just selling the house and going back to renting.... let someone else have all the headaches.
You're making good progress! Your house is getting better all the time. One day you will look back and wonder how you had the energy to do all the stuff you have done . . .and then you will do more!I know I am just whining, but I just can't seem to catch a break with this house. I just want it to be a normal house with a completed kitchen, bathroom and carpet/flooring, but I don't have the money for all that.
I struggle with that too. I am actually an organized person but my stuff gets out of control and it ends up being organized chaos. My shop area looks like a tornado went through it but I know which pile to look in to find what I need. Actually my next project is to clean up my shop. I hate to throw away my scraps of wood because I might need them. Same with my nut, bolts and screws . . .which happens to be the punch line to a sick joke. Did you hear about the patient that escaped from the mental facility and sexually attacked a woman? The headline read, "Nut bolts and screws." Every time I see that in a hardware store I cringe!If I had the extra money, I would pay someone to come and help me go through everything and get the house into some sort of order. I feel like that would make putting systems into place easier. I just need less stuff
Yeah. . .stay away from the poison. I actually had that happen. I had put rat poison out in my garage (in our old house in California) and I noticed one day that the poison tray was pulled out from where it was tucked away...as if our dog had pulled it out with his paw. Well, the dog, Bosco, started acting weird so I took him to the vet (it was a Friday) and told the vet what I suspected had happened. The Vet said he had seen dozens of rat poison cases and this wasn't that so he gave Bosco a saline shot and sent us home. Later that night, Bosco was in such a bad condition that he was leaning up against a wall. He wouldn't lay down because I guess it hurt too much. We rushed him to the emergency vet (because it was now Friday night) and the emergency vet said it was definitely Rat poisoning and if we would have brought him in earlier a simple shot of vitamin K would have fixed him up but now, Bosco, needed oxygen and a blood transfusion. That cost several thousands of dollars.Back to the rat (fat rat), I wish I could put poison out but I am terrified that it would go into a different room in the house and one of the dogs or the cat would get it and then they would die. I am definitely not in a place that I could emotionally handle that. The dogs are like my children.
Get a live trap. They sell them in a lot of places.I did consider buying an animal trap and wrapping it with chicken wire and putting it underneath the house in the crawlspace and put dog food in it.
You too!Hope everyone has a great day!
