  • Allie, my thoughts are with your Tracy, so much to think about.💖🙏 Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • I hope so! Once they take out the rotted part under where the dishwasher was, check the sub flooring, and joists, and put in new lower cabinets, whatever they choose will be excellent.😁👍🏼 Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • Oh yes! This has been an issue since I first noticed the floor last summer like around May! So if they had got on it way back then, it provably would have been an easy job. Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • Yesterday at noon, a friend came to pick me up to go out to lunch. She's the one I met a couple years ago, had Thanksgiving with, and I have gone out to my favorite ramen place with. We don't get together but a handful a times a year, but when we do there is always great conversations, and much laughing. I did something so…
  • Yep they did a good job. I guess there were a couple different flooring down. One was just put over the other. I told the worker guys that when they do demo the floor under the dishwasher, (after they take out the cabinets), that the kitchen needs to have a barrier seal in the doorways. They said they would do that.…
  • I do not believe they tested it. They were just worker guys, not scientists. Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • They did wipe it all down with a product that's supposed to kill it. Plus its covered now. We do not have any air filters. I expressed to the worker guys that if they could, to put in the paperwork that husband has had a liver transplant and is immune compromised. Hopefully that will speedup the process.

  • Looks heavenly! Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • Its like of a balance you have to have. The relationship between managementl company, the owner and us. If you complain too much, you could be labeled "difficult" and might affect a yearly lease status. Pretty much we put trouble calls in to the management company for important stuff only, water leak issues, our front door…
  • So some work guys came to remove the linoleum. It was a bigger job then they expected. Go figure! If you put a trouble call in May for a stain under your linoleum, and then 9 months later you tackle it, this is what happens. Under the dishwasher was a wet, black mess. They removed the flooring, applied a bleach anti mold…
  • Except it was like a rustic dark bread of some sort. I remember distinctly a dark brown brick.😂 Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • Heather, I'm saddened to hear of you needing hip replacement, but also very proud of you for being so "proactive" in your decision making. To be free of pain is your goal, and hip surgery is your cure. 💖👍🏼 "TAKE CARE OF YOUR WELLNESS, SO YOU WON'T DEAL WITH AN ILLNESS" (That phrase mulls around my thoughts when I make…
  • I have to tell you of one of my fails.👍🏼😁. It was early 1980's, I was young and careless and I used way too hot water and killed the yeast. Well that is my view of what happened. So instead of the bread being a loaf, and soft, it was maybe 2 inches thick and DENSE. I just let the failure cool on the counter and went out…
  • What a scary situation Rita! I am sorry that you had to go thru that by yourself. 😥💖 I wish our body's had little ticker tape printers that could print out in complete sentences what was wrong at any given time. That would be awesome! Stop all this guessing and wondering for the lot of us.💖. Healing thoughts and hugs!…
  • Lanette. Staying put is a good thing. Good on ya for listening to your gut instincts.👍🏼 Machka. Bringing up the trauma is just your body's way of noticing how far you two have come.💖. Even though it was him that experienced the accident, you are a survivor as well. You saw him at his very beginning. Crying about it, is a…
  • Lanette, I'm excited for you, I hope it all works out! Today's fixings lunch was a huge salad, and dinner was strawberries on toasted bagel. Both outstanding! The salad: Wild rice, lettuce, tomato, pickled asparagus, pickled olives, walnuts, mushrooms, bleu cheese dressing and tri colored tortilla strips. Bagel: toasted…
  • Chatted with both my sisters yesterday. They initiated the video chats which I was thrilled by. It really calmed me, my sons now overseas for a handful of years, I am not so stressed about it, but just melancholy. Last week I needed to vent about it, and texted my middle sister. Of course she didn't want to text, so I…

  • 💖🤗👍🏼
  • Nothing much going on these days. Quiet life. Husband did take me out for lunch to a restaurant we had not visited. It was called Krakens Cove so photos of octopi everywhere. I had fish and chips and husband had a steak sandwich. The owner served and took care of us. He was a nice guy and we congratulated him on his new…
  • Yes, my heart is settled, and it feels good. Its nice to feel truly happy. I deserve it, for the months and years of anxiety. He has already called once since he left on Feb 26th. I did mention that he did not have to call every week, but every so often is fine enough. He even made a contributing text in our family's group…
  • Well I have figured out a way to sleep easier without getting my hair in my face. I put my hair up in a tie, like a ponytail up on the top of my head. I look like the little kids in Whosville but at least I am not wrestling with my hair. Its only a bit longer than shoulder length, but its that long pretty much all over as…
  • Thanks for the recipe! I will try it! Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • Took cold medicine last night, as I felt like I was stuffed up in my sinuses etc. I slept from 9pm to 9 am! Medicine head! At 1:00 pm I made a slice of bacon, 2 slices of sausage patties, a hash brown Pattie and a big omelet with a slice of cheddar inside. It was all glorious and I most likely won't eat anything else…
  • Oh here's grandsons recent photo too! 6 months old now! 💖 Rebecca Whidbey Wa
  • Finally getting back to our quiet little normal. Dropping off eldest at Sea-Tac was physically taxing for me! We left at 10:30 pm and got to the airport at 2:30 pm. Son was in line to check in with AMC (airlift mobility command) from then to about 2:30 am when he checked his 2 seabag in. There were a lot of people waiting…
  • The leave both sailor sons took literally mended our family's mental health most definitely. I think it surprised my sailors how many family members reached out and came to the "family pizza night" event. They are an important piece of the complete family puzzle. I think my youngest learned its just easier to reach out…
  • Oh yes, I will coast through life on the fumes of this great past month!💖 On Monday my youngest called from Cuba too, his normal calling day. He was shaven and had gotten a haircut. We talked about his long trip home, and I thanked him for making the cute video of the toy Athena presented him, going on the plane ride from…
  • Well tonight we drop off eldest at Sea-Tac airport. I am kinda numb with emotions today. Just trying (and succeeded) to keep it light. Made bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs to put in a big breakfast burrito when he comes down stairs. Yesterday afternoon/evening, we all had fun watching "School of Rock" and then took…
