Started out with chores, then errands, then an appointment with an alternative medical specialist about my shoulder, then dialysis, then more errands. Ended up finding a fabulous tavern with Guinness on tap, which will now become my home away from home, as it’s only a mile from the dialysis center, and they have free wi-fi! Managed to get caught up on my blog while enjoying a fabulous salad and a couple of pints of Guinness. Now THAT’S living!!

After an incredibly refreshing break, it’s back to the old grind! We left Melbourne Beach, taking A1A all the way down the coast just to see the sites (not to mention, our GPS actually said it was the fastest way!) stopping at the dialysis center to see if they might have an early chair (they didn’t), so Hubby and I headed straight home so I could pack up and mail out some books. Evidently, someone mentioned me on the HCTAA facebook page, and that set off a slew of orders, as it always does. They never let me talk about the book on their facebook page, always deleting me as soon as I turn up, but they allow all kinds of other people to constantly advertise their campgrounds. Never could get a straight answer why. I’ve even offered to pay them a commission for each order that comes in through their website, but they never answered me back. Anyway, I guess they can’t delete it when someone else asks if anyone knows how to get the book, can they? That took well over an hour to accomplish, then we headed back out to the dialysis center where I dropped Hubby off, then ran errands, including a stop at the post office, to kill the time. Got home late again, barely enough time to grab a little something to eat, watch a Downton Abbey or two (our current Netflix binge) and off to bed!

After a fabulous night sleep, got up in time to say good-bye to brother Karl, thanking him profusely for helping me knock so many chores off my list, inviting him to come up to Tennessee to help me clear out the house in April, which he seemed glad to do. Managed to get to my Euchre game at the senior center in Stuart, but had to leave early to drop Hubby off at dialysis. Ran errands before heading home for a short, quiet evening.

Dialysis this afternoon, followed by a nice dinner at Jeff’s favorite Mexican place in Tequesta with Karl and Hubby.

Another long overdue repair made today, Karl found a small leak in the water line to the icemaker and was able to make a quick repair on it. I was afraid it was going to be a major job, but it turned out to be very minor, thank goodness. So many things getting checked off my repairs list!

After a year of being entirely focused on Hubby’s health, I was delighted to get a communication from one of our regular clients that they want us not once, not twice, but THREE times this year! Yay! Just what I needed to buck up my bank account, and to keep us busy and focused this year. So glad to hear from them! In addition, we got another big job getting my washer pump replaced, and took Karl out to dinner in the evening as a thank you. Everything is looking up!

Another great day of doing repairs on the RV and my car, things are really getting in order now! Thanks, Karl!

Another day of mostly relaxing, with a few more chores accomplished by me and Karl, cutting down on my list! Yay!
