just another update

Well, here we go again.  Mike's pacemaker has been approved so we are just waiting to hear when the surgery is scheduled.  We took him to the dermatologist Monday and now he has a suspected skin cancer on his back.  Have to schedule surgery to remove it and get a biopsy.  I'm still waiting to schedule my stomach procedure and colonoscopy.  (Whew)

The carpet has been dried out, pad replaced and carpet reinstalled.  So far to the tune of just over $500.00.  I cleaned it myself and it looks pretty good.  I'm going to wait to have it professionally cleaned because it appears the AC has decided to act up.  Thank goodness it hasn't quit entirely but it isn't handling the 100+ weather we are having.  It won't cool down past 76.  Fortunately our HVAC guy is coming out today and praying it just needs freon.  We've been taking the hits lately and we need a break!

We started moving the furniture back into our bedroom yesterday and hopefully we will finish it today.  Slowly getting things back to normal.

I've been reading a few commentators on just what this presidency has done to the country and what the long term ramifications are projected to be and it isn't pretty.  So many destructive behaviors have now become legitimized such as lying, bigotry, xenophobia to name a few.  We have accepted this behavior from the most powerful position in the world. This is what has bothered me the most.  Once people don't care about truth, honesty, decency in general, where do you go from there?

Moving furniture in that heat can't be fun. Here's hoping the AC has an easy (and relatively inexpensive fix).

Dani - I agree with you about what my grandkids will inherit with the loss of any moral compass by the Republican leaders and how when you read about what happened Germany against the Jewish people you can recognize the attacks on the press and the evolution of how the President’s blatant lies and racial smears are not even addressed by the so called “Moral Majority”. Very scary...
