Ooooh, Baltimore! I didn't know it was in play -- not too late to think about Boston, sigh.

(I'm so sorry for your worry about mac. If I believed and prayed, I'd be praying for him.)

While the second interview goes forward, Rosemary is still in the hospital with pseudogout, and nothing they've done so far has brought the pain down other than palliative measures (i.e. painkillers). They're going to try her on stronger steroids, but they have to be careful because of the heart surgery.

Timelies all!

Finally in Pittsburgh for Confluence. Another long trip with Mr. S.(multiple potty stops, him getting bored/frustrated and throwing toys around). Rush hour traffic as we were getting close to the hotel didn't help.

lisah & I are very excited! It's really fun to explore your own city for someone else. And house porn. So much house porn.

But for now, emotional support time for parents of challenging kids.

All the best, msbelle. You deserve so much happiness.

Theo, fingers crossed!

Health~ma to Rosemary and child~ma to Sheryl.

Just got home from replacing my washing machine. It was an oldie, given to me by my SIL many years ago used then. Started smoking on the spin cycle. So we debated getting a new set, maybe stackables.

Then my Goggling saw a place called WeDaBest Appliances, and they had really good reviews. Stopped and saw my nephew who owns rental properties and he said that he had used them a few times and they were cool. Looked around and saw he had a Kenmore washer that perfectly matched the dryer I have that still works fine. Older, but they last forever. $150 cash, so with no 9.75% sales tax. Dude obviously knew his appliances and said he had tested it completely and warranted it and stuff. So pretty pleased! Now to do an actual load of wash....

the garage sale I though we were having in 2 weeks is now pushed back to the 24th. Still not too bad, but a little too far out for me to be making signs like I was thinking about starting. Still I am pulling things from the living room and kitchen.

msbelle, you are the hardest working woman in show business.

I get tired from just reading about what you've done/are doing/have to do.

I'm sorry about what you're going through with mac.

This too shall pass is also my mantra.

Timelies all!

Mr. S got up far too early considering when he went to bed, and has been acting badly all day. Sigh...

I had a really great day going to the beach with my mother. We were at the beach with basically all of the different kinds of people and they were all also having a great day! It was delightful.

Is replacing a shower faucet something a non-handy but willing to try person can do herself? Mine is starting to stick.
