The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Thursday gratitudes… Posted by Cindy on 8/7/2025, 8:52 am Please share!

Thrusday Gratitudes Posted by Delta on 8/7/2025, 10:09 pm, in reply to "Thursday gratitudes…" Mammogram is over for another year. Everything was "normal". Normal for me is that nothing has grown and no new cysts have formed. Even the lymph node under my arm that swelled up during the virus last week was almost back to normal. I'll take it. Because the city figured it needed more lanes on the highway near where a Buckee's is coming, they were working on it today and had the traffic detoured to a side road with no red light to get out on a major road. There were several trucks in front of us, so it took over 25 minutes to go the length of a football field, making me 10 minutes late for my appointment, though I had left home almost 30 minutes before the appointment for a 14-minute (normally) drive. I asked them if they wanted me to reschedule since I was late. The room was full, with only one chair left. They were very sweet and told me to stay, and they would have me back in about 20 minutes, and they did. They had cleared that whole waiting room except for 2 people when they called me back, too. Between a nap in my chair and going right to bed when I woke up, and being able to go back to sleep again, I got over 10 hours of sleep last night. I hadn't gotten that all week added together. I came home from the doctor and slept for almost 2 more hours. About time I got caught up. Did I tell you that we bought a new house? It was a bank foreclosure that we bid on over 2 years ago. It has taken so long that we forgot about it. We got an appraisal on it today for the bank and he said that he would go ahead and tell us what he will appraise it for when it is finished based on the list of things we are doing to it because he has already appraised several for us and said they are always top rated improvements not cosmetic things to hide what is wrong. We have decided to sell instead of rent. Looks like, although it is a total gut job now that it has sat over three years without a roof, and we are hiring out all the work to subs, we will still make a little profit. We were beginning to wonder since there is so much to do now. The temps have been near normal this week for the first time since mid-June. It has been so nice.

Wow is right! Posted by Joan on 8/8/2025, 6:51 am, in reply to "Thrusday Gratitudes" You bought a new house! I'm impressed! Congratulations on the mammogram report!

Wow!….a new house?…. Posted by Cindy on 8/8/2025, 2:59 am, in reply to "Thrusday Gratitudes" How crazy it took so long for them to let you know!! Glad you can make a profit on it. So cool!

At the time Posted by Delta on 8/8/2025, 3:50 pm, in reply to "Wow!….a new house?…." our grandson wanted to help fix it up and rent is from us with his sight on buying it if they stayed here. We didn't want another rental and we really don't want to do the work on it at this point. we are talking about selling our other rentals so we will most likely sell it while it is new again. About the only thing we are leaving is the brick on the outside, some of the studs in the bedrooms and the concrete slab. Everything else will be new.

Mine Posted by Paula on 8/7/2025, 7:48 pm, in reply to "Thursday gratitudes…" Walked today even tho it hurt Seeing clients Cooler temps for a few more days. I have missed the whole summer. It seems like it rained most of June and was super hot through July. Maybe I didn't miss so much after all. Got some financial stuff figured out SOMEDAY, my life will be more normal again. Normal isn't something I usually strive for but I'll take not lugging this vac around and having my wound completely closed "normal." random number spinner
