Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

FLY BY HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxx

One day at a time works wonders.
Hoping that your weather is improving. I see signs of Spring! Tiny purple flowers popping up here and there.

You and hubby and Koko remain on my mind, in my heart and in my prayers.

Hi, Addy. Sorry I am late, but,

Happy Belated Birthday!!

Sounds like you had a good day with your mom.

Good Morning and thank you all for stopping by, I love the hugs:)

I have had problems with my shoulder so PT thinks it is too much too fast and has cut back on the weight lifting. I have this lump she says is a muscle knot from using my muscles incorrectly to lift my arm all those weeks. It causes pain everywhere when I have 2 pounds weights:(:(:(:(

Work is crazy busy and I am glad I have Koko or I would be staying late at the office for escape from reality. I have been emailing clients from home in the early morning trying to fix "problems" this week and I can see where this is all going, I did the same thing when I lost my Tinker cat after 21 years. I dont want to make that mistake again so Koko is my savior in that regard.:):):);)

Zoe's birthday is next week but the ground is still frozen so we wont be spreading her ashes yet. I expect next week will be hard. I still cry every day though not as long and I still see her tiny body in that oxygen chamber heaving so, trying to breathe and I get so upset. I find this all still very difficult and expect it will take a very long time before i can cope better with the pain of losing her.

We are trying to decide what upgrades we should make to the house so we can sell it. We have our must do list and we are thinking of upgrading our kitchen counter tops. Our kitchen is a galley kitchen and we are trying to figure out how to make it more appealing. We like it just the way it is but buyers seem to expect certain things these days.:confused::confused:

It is a sunny day and Koko and I got our long walk in this morning. He is such a good boy and he sure seems to enoy "visiting" people.
The other night he had all his toys strewn at the front door. I call our front door his "dog TV".

I have a bit of a sinus infection going on so have not been around much. Some days it is hard for me to come here but then I miss you all so much.

love you all

Take care of yourself. Koko is the best medicine for you. Such a sweet little boy.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo

Addy, big hugs. Don't be too hard on your self. There are going to be days that are particularly harder for you and it feels like you know that, but you also know that it is important to step back and Koko is an excellent reason to be able to do so. When it becomes too much, take some time to yourself.

So, house issues, kitchens and bathroom upgrades usually are the largest return for your money on selling a house. So as far as bigger expenditures, that is where I would concentrate. Anything else could be throwing good money away, if you aren't going to get it back in the sell.

Other than that, touch up like paint and accessory's can make the biggest difference. Before you actually put it on the market for people to come in and look at, stage it. Look at magazines to get ideas, but staging usually involves, removing anything that looks like clutter and personalities. You aren't selling your personality and your home, you are selling the buyer, their dream home, so they need to be able to see that potential when they walk through. I've done a bit a staging for people selling their homes. Neutral colors on walls, use color in accessories. It's interchangeable that way.

That is pretty much my immediate thoughts on home to do lists.

Yikes that shoulder sounds painful.

Crikey, we jumping straight to HAPPY SUNDAY this week, got an armful of hugs right here for you... oh and a bacon sammie! xxxxx

We went to price out counter tops and one supplier was giving a free sink- I told hubby I did not want that double basin sink, Koko wont fit in it if he needs a bath, I like the sink I have now or one long rectangular sink.

We get to the car and hubby looks at me and says- but we are moving- the sink is not for you. Why would you turn down a free sink?:confused::confused:

I turned and just stared at him. "I guess I forgot that part":o:o

The sink is not for me??:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

This is not going to go well:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::(:(:(:(

Well, it's not for you, true, but it still has to be functional while you are there. :)

I have seen a double sink, and we have it in fact, where one side is much larger than the other side, making the second side, the like, vegetable cleaning side and the side we have a garbage disposal on.

Btw, Molly fits into the big side perfectly. hahahaha

I guess they only have one sink style? Maybe you could ask them, if instead of the free sink they want to give you, could they instead, knock off on the price of a sink that you would rather have. :)

This is not an easy task.
