This has been a lot harder than I thought.  It seems that once I gave the 30 some odd pounds of beef to my sister-what that left me with was a lot of salmon patties, a few turkey patties and 2 small steaks.  Both of which were enough to serve me for 2 meals each.  Oh-some chicken sausage.

Sigh.

Also, the hand surgery and torn rotator cuff have rendered me almost useless.

Thankfully, I’ll be going “home” on November 15-16th.  Everyone seems to feel the house has great bones.  Awful paint, but great bones.

The paint colors will be taken care of when I visit on Halloween.  First time I’ll be seeing my husband since he left on September 7th.

This is no way to run a marriage, let me tell you.

I’m just grateful that the house is in escrow and I’ll be with everyone in my new state very soon.

Still can’t drive very well, certainly can’t cook to my usual excellence and typing this is, well, painful.

Oh-don’t spend your money on Dragon Speak-it just doesn’t work enough to warrent the expense.
