not_hathorLast night my husband talked to our friend up at NIU, checking in to see how she was doing (she'd fallen and fractured her wrist in January, plus of course the NIU thing); ironically she'd just gotten home from helping her mom sort flood damaged stuff from the river ice-jam two weeks ago! So after scolding her mildly for hitting town and not calling us, Husband asked her to call our friend (the one with the DJD and protruding disk) and try to talk some sense into him, since SHE'D undergone fused Vertabrae surgery about 15 years ago. See, Husband and Bruce were best buds through Jr. and High school; and Sue, Bruce and I all were English Majors at the same Liberal Arts college --
Any way, tonight Bruce called us and practically the first thing he did was to thank us for asking Sue to call him! She'd also called another local college pal, who then called Bruce too! Long Story short, Bruce seems to be feeling a whole lot better about the whole situation; when he came to supper Saturday evening he was in a VERY morbid mood; so atleast something good came from the weekend!
Tonight we finished putting together the cherry veneer bookcases for the living room and wrestled them into place. We figure large heavy books on the lower shelves and DvDs on the upper shelves, which means we can started hauling boxes and tubs down from the attic and in from the garage and just maybe! we'll find the blasted Title to the Mobile Home so that we can actually LEGALLY sell it!!! Right now, we'd be happy just to recoup the Lot Rent costs for the past three months. It IS livable, especially now that spring and warm weather are around the corner, but it does need work; and while we'd really prefer to sell to someone who'd live in it, we're afraid that we'll end up selling to the Park management who will most likely tear it down, because there are so many other empty trailers in the park in better condition that aren't being rented...
Okay, change subject, I don't want to go to bed depressed again!
Anyone got a fun meme I can filch?
