Sounds like you had a good time.

I don't blame you for not wanting friends to spoil you. Back to that "who owes who" thing we were talking about a while back. Even with friends, I think it can become too lopsided if you let the little things add up.

We did. Usually when I see her it is for just a few minutes before she goes to her next client.

I'm fair certain that she wouldn't expect anything back. I just don't feel like she should be wasting money on me is all. She's got her children, grandchildren and her husband to think about.

Well... you should probably consider seeing about it. At least this summer anyhow. Sounds like you really enjoy her company. Maybe you shouldn't wait for her to initiate something next time.

Those are the really good friends. Maybe you should let her do it. It sounds like she and/or her husband were fairly successful and I'll bet she gets a kick out of it.


You need to get new shoes, Brenda. If you're not going to let your friend buy you a pair, you gotta bite the bullet.

I've worn plenty of shoes down to the nubs and had tons of holes in mine too over the years, but I'm not getting any younger and getting around isn't getting any easier. I know you've already got some mobility issues and you've got to take care of those feet.

Just a thought.

Also, I second the notion of getting shoes that work for you. Bc of chemo neuropathy and a bunion, for a couple of years after chemo I did everything... walking the dog, gardening... in indoor/ outdoor slipppers. Yeah, they covered my feet but had no cushioning or support. I think that's when my knee problems started.

SIX, that remodel looks primo! That's amazing! But you're right, the wiring looks scary.

Been running my *ss ragged with family Dr appts. Gotta see if hubby can get his back pain fixed, it's really disabling. So I'm going to schedule another injection for after his sinus surgery, and all being well after that he gets radio frequency ablation, which could last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years before needing a repeat. Daughter has some issues too, so she's going in for testing.

I used to think that being retired I should be able to get more projects done. But then I considered that taking full-time care of two disabled ppl (three, if I include myself) is the equivalent of a full time job. So I guess I should cut myself some slack.
