Since we saw each other last. . .. When have you said that to someone? Did you

catch that person up on your life after you said it? While I was offline or since I was here often the last time: I paid off my car. I'm about to pay off my mortgage. I'm still stressing because I have a bunch of insurances due and taxes in the next couple of months. Our vehicles are taking turns breaking down. His truck,my car,his truck, my car, his truck, etc., that all started as soon as my husband lost his job. He's on unemployment and I'm not employed very often. 2 days a week is about it. But it's better than none. I got a lot of money one week because I was able to find lots of work and between my medications and gas to go to work, it was all gone in 20 minutes. 5 minutes to gas up the car to full and 15 to refill prescriptions. That was disheartening. Most people think that now that my car is paid for and my house will be that we can make ends meet. We shall see. Insurances and taxes with him only making 1/2 the money, it's hard to know. I'd like to throw a "burn the morgage party" and thank all my friends that helped, but I need the money for my bills. Still, I'm happy I have paid off the car and will have the house paid off. Many people lost their cars and their homes before they could pay them off. I got bit by a deer fly and my face blew up. Esp. my eyes, my ocular rosacia got really bad and I'm on new meds. But I can see 20/20 so it didn't effect my sight and I'm doing great now. It could have been a lot worse, like I could have quit breathing or lost some vision. My eyes look like they aged 10 years in a couple of weeks (worse bags and more wrinkles), but I look better than when I was all bloated and disfigured looking. For the first time in my life, I'm making pies. The crust are edible, but they're not my Mom's pies. I've made blackberry, apple, and apple zuchini so far. I started wout with soupy pies, but I seem to have cured that problem. Creamy seems to be nice and slim now. He's giving himself a bath. He was a fat cat and he would wash his paws and that was it. He wouldn't wash anything else. He was greasy and matted. Everytime I brought him to a Dr., they had to give him a bath. I started rewarding him with a treat (actually, just some of his regular portions that I held back) when he washed. He's at 15 lbs and the Doctor said he's perfict now (he has a huge bone structure, my other cat, Baby is an average-sized cat and Creamcycle is twice as long). Cream is washing every part of himself. Quite a change from a cat that would walk two steps and collapse. Now he's even complaining that he's bored and wants things to do. I saw him run the other day. Our other cat pitter patterns, this one sounds like a gallooping horse. I missed my Mylot friends and getting to see where all my Georges went. Puerto Rico was sooo cool to see when I logged on. I still would like to do local money but unless I can figure out a way to get a grant, I can't print money, esp. when you consider all that goes into it and you need a local money changing/bank area and lots of logistics to figure out. My husband is going for walks every day and trying to complete some type of activity each day. There are so many things to fix around the house, that it's great that he's home. It would be better if we could somehow afford some of the bigger projects that really need to be done. He's taking everything in stride for now. But he's basically a positive person. Another one of my brothers is now diabetic. He has lost some weight and soon will be below the weight he needs to get off the medication if he can get off it. I think he'll be able to. I've learned how to run a cash register, not consistantly well, but better than when I started. I can also run a credit card machine. I've learned about some new products and it's fun to watch people in a gift shop. I've also brought people to the Doctors.
