    oh, I am like Kim!! I had no idea I was claustrophobic until I had to have an MRI. It was the worst thing for me. I had it to check my shoulder- didn't know if it was torn or frozen. I was shaking SOOO bad she covered my eyes with a cool damp cloth and had my hands under my thighs. She had to stop a few times. She offered to stop and reschedule it but, I would need a driver. Dh was leaving the next day to fly to China with a friend for over 2 weeks. I couldn't wait that long to get some relief so Stuck it out. I remember trying to stay calm. I was so relieved when I heard her voice . Then she said I was doing a great job- she was HALF way through. I was shaking so bad when it was over(images were not great but good enough to see there was no tear-it was frozen.) I had to hold onto the railing out of the place and barely made it to my car. I sat in the car for over 20 minutes to stop shaking just enough to drive the 10 min. back to the house. I will NEVER have one again without being knocked out.
    Just the thought of having one while I write this is giving me the shakes/twitches.

    there will be no service of any kind for MIL- she has no friends or family. Only a niece and nephew in Osaka who don't ever want to speak to her again because of how she treated them. Friends all got chased off for the same reason.
    She will be cremated and her ashes along with dh's older brother will both be put in the plot with his dad. That is what she wanted. I know Louis(dh's dad) sure wouldn't agree with it. I am sure he enjoyed being away from her finally, even if it meant he had to pass away to get away from her. He will get a plaque with their names on it but that is it. I am sure we will be there when they bury them, at least I am guessing he will want to be there. Up to him.

    Good progress on your spaces! Our home has no blinds anywhere! Open windows to get as much light into this rather dark home.

    Yes, though I do have a protein drink in the morning its not every morning. Its just hard to eat a meal that time of day. I have decided to continue to do the work, log daily, get my protein in foods as much I can, and drink 90-100 oz of liquid a day. I shall be persistent!

    Well having another wrap for dinner didn't sound good so I made a sort of pasta/shrimp thing. It was surprisingly good. Granted not creamy, and the pasta wasn't as past-y as it is made with chickpeas, but I was satisfied!

    Full up to my brim.

    My Van - I am hoping that the fix will be no more than the coils, spark plugs and timing chain. Those were the things the RACT person suggested. He also said that if I had continued to drive the whole engine would have been destroyed when the timing chain snapped.

    Reading - thanks to Barbie and a couple other ladies here, I now read most of my books on Libby, the library app. This means I've got a book with me all the time. So I'm reading at bus stops, reading while waiting for the RACT person and tow truck, reading in waiting rooms, and more!

    I'm also thinking of reducing the number of books I own because I can get them via Libby.

    China - I was at the tail end of the era of setting a girl up with a china pattern when she got married. So I have quite a few pieces of the china pattern I chose, and several pieces from my grandmother's pattern. Also somewhere along the way I must have made the mistake of saying, "Oh, that's beautiful" when I received some crystal as a gift … and now I have more crystal than I know what to do with.

    Because no one wants any of this stuff anymore, so I can't sell it, I've got it displayed in a glass-front cabinet in the dining part of our open plan layout. The glass front cabinet keeps the dust off of it.

    @glypnirsgirl …

    I am reading/listening (I am vision impaired) to a most interesting book. I am listening to "The Next Conversation: Argue Less Talk More." I was motivated to listen to it because I have a "friend" who makes cutting remarks and denies that she had any bad intentions if called on it. The techniques that he recommends for dealing with passive aggressive behavior I believe will be helpful in dealing with lots of scenarios. Some of my favorites - looking at the person quizzically and asking, "Would you please repeat that?" He says that people are reluctant to repeat hurtful things, that what they are looking for is a reaction. Another favorite, "How do you expect me to react to that?" I expect that phrase to be helpful with my husband who is on the autism spectrum and has very little self-reflection.

    That book sounds good. I've added it to my "To Read" list in Goodreads.
