Wednesday evening

Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your good wishes about my foot. It is much improved. The pain is gone and the swelling is almost gone as well. I took my last Aleve last night. I hope that is it for awhile now. If this is gout ( and even the specialist I saw 2 years ago wasn't sure) it could go away forever or come again. You just never know. I am glad to be getting back to my normal routine.

Margie--I will second everyone else about the swim lessons. Lauren and Jacob have been taking them since they were babies and they love the water and the lessons. Jacob especially. He is so excited because he can move up to the same class as Lauren now that he is 3. Makes it easier on Karen too. In this class they get in by themselves (without mom or dad.) It took a few different classes for Lauren because the first teacher she just didn't like. I never took lessons but I can swim a little. I love the water. I still love going to the Jersey shore and going into the ocean. I can't believe Gavin has autism. Too many experts want to pin that label on kids. You should push for the speech therapy though. Mostly for his self-esteem. I liked Crystal Gardens and the SW trilogy. Hope you enjoy If You know Her.

Sandi--good for you getting to leave work early. I am a big believer in naps! About hospital payments. The hospital we use here will let you set up a payment plan. It is very helpful for the patient and ensures that the hospital will get paid.

Amanda--I don't like the heat but hopefully it will be out of here after a couple of days. Phils had a good game last night. I hope it continues.

Cady--I will have to do some research on the pain patches but hopefully I won't be needing one anytime soon. I agree with you and Donna about Tell Harlequin. Most of the books I would not have bought on my own. Enjoy your vacation to NC--one of my favorite places! I haven't been there for years. That is a long trip. I thought it was long from here which takes about 8 hours.

 Trudy--sending prayers and hugs your way. Sounds strange about the credit union bringing a suit against you. Thinking about you.

Donna M--love the pictures as always. It is easy to unsubscribe to Tell Harlequin. I'm with you the books are not ones I would have chosen myself.

I finished reading Fever by Joan Swan. It was very good--romantic suspense with just a hint of paranormal. It is the first book in a series. There were alot of characters to keep straight but she was setting the stage for later books. I liked the h/H relationship but it was hard sell at first. He was a prison escapee who took her hostage. But it developed believably and had a good ending. I am not sure what I will read next but I do have a lot to choose from on my tbr piles.

Have a good rest of the week!
