Yep, (((
MadHouse))) -- your name is definitely fitting today, isn't it? How old are your children, besides 17 & 11?
My ds & family are living in his grandparents' house which is approx 50-60 years old, and part of it may be older, actually, b/c they remodeled some years after they married, while dh & his dbro were small children. They have a horror-house basement also, which is unusable at the moment. DFIL had a stroke in 2004? 2005? and from then until his death in 2011 and dmil's death in 2014, only emergency fixes were taken care of. Dmil just let things go unless it was a serious problem for her daily routine. DS and ddil & dgs moved in in 2015, after the house had sat empty for a year. It's just one thing after another now for them. They had to replace a heat/air unit last week.
(((
Dee))) How frustrating!
(((Cathy's dh))) for the dentist -- b/c sounds like he's definitely got enough on his mind with all that's going on there.
(((Twins))) -- keeping you close in my thoughts and prayers.
And I know there are others, as MadHouse said, needing hugs tonight. I hope tomorrow brings brighter news and happy moments for all of you!
For myself, today has not had much in the way of ta-da's...
Spent most of the day watching a college baseball game with dh, which lasted almost 4 hours, which we won, and which put our team in the college world series for the first time in 22 years...
but in the words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that, b/c there's probably at least ONE of you who knows who we were playing...
Spent a good part of the rest of the day on chat support with FitBit.
My FitBit will show that it is charged while on the charger, but when it is back on my arm, it goes dead. Support thinks (* hopes, I suspect *) that charging on the computer rather than the wall adapter will solve the problem.
Cooked supper and cleaned up the kitchen.
Currently doing laundry, need to iron a pair of shorts for dh to wear Wednesday.
And dh says rain is predicted in Atlanta Wednesday.
Oh well. We have great seats, covered by the upper deck, but rain will not be enjoyable for dgrands if they have to sit sit sit through a rain delay. And dgs could probably not do the zip line if it is rainy/stormy. He was sooo proud of himself for "using his courage" and doing that last year. Anyway, we'll have fun, I'm sure, just spending the day with them all before they go visit ddil's family for a week. I know it seems like we are with the dgrands all the time, but we don't really have a lot of time with ds, so dh really looks forward to this ballgame trip every year!
