Motivated

The white board lists keep growing. Tom wakes every day at 6:00 am to motivate and encourage us. We are both rushing forward and slowing up at the same time. The house wont sell in a day. It probably wont sell period. There is no place to rush off to be at the moment.

Today our his nephew who is in construction is coming to fix all the fixes in the house. I have done some improvements, ripping out carpets and putting down new floors. Tom hired this young man to finish my work, do the details I didn't do. Fix my errors. The house will look lovely when finished. The pealing vinyl in the kitchen will be fixed as will any exposed gaps in the molding in the hallways. I made a very thorough list.

I work today. Hopefully my list is detailed enough.

Trevor is coughing. Its a dry unproductive cough. I cringe when I hear it. I can't help tensing up when germs are in the house. he is still going to school. Not sick enough yet to miss it.

Riley is very cheerful. His energy is good and so is his color. I am hopeful that with the decrease in meds these days, his numbers are going up. March 10th is our next blood draw. It will be the first blood draw since we started to change and decrease his dosage levels.

I went house hunting in Longview on Sunday. I saw half a dozen small ranches, half the size of our home now. When we land on our feet, I am planning to turn the house we go to into a rental for us later. Half the houses we saw were dives, barely standing, with rotting walls and uneven floors. You can tell some people are still holding on to the fantasy of 2006. I will continue to look.
