waiting

The last three weeks have been hard, but we are getting better.  We have made arrangements for a company to come in and waterproof the basement.  It will be guaranteed not to leak and the guarantee will transfer to whoever buys it.  So now we have to wait for them to come and do it.  When they are finished our realtor will clean up the basement and put it backon the market.  She figures that it will be about March 15.  I am hoping this time it works.  Fingers crossed. 

In the meantime we are trying to keep busy.  Bob has decided to make bread again.  He is good at it and it is really yummy.  He is also making a chest of drawers for my make up to fit under the bathroom sink.  It will be really nice when it is done.  But Bob is having a hard time working on it.  He reguarly has days when he feels too bad to work and just sits until the nausea passes.  I think it is nerves, but who knows?

I have been exercising regularly and trying to stay within my weight limitations.  The exercise helps with the stress and the weight.  And I enjoy it.

Bob wants to plan a mini trek for this summer - if the house sells.  Again, fingers crossed.

It is hard

Well, not only did we not sell the house, but there is a major leak in the basement which is going to cost significant money to fix.  we don't really have the money, but it is somehting we have to do.  so we will do it.  In the meantime, I am seriously worried about Bob.  this has been very hard on him.  He is already having troubles because the medicine he takes for his neuropathy has a side effect of depression, and this is not helping.  so we are keeping busy and trying to laugh our way through this.  I keep telling myself that we are extremely lucky and haven't really had any difficulties for a long thime.  this is just to remind us what it feels like when it is tough so that we can appreciate it when it gets better.  How is that for seeing the glass half full?
