    This will get done I HOPE by this weekend.

    Broke down and went to the Dr today because I was not feeling
    any better. The results are:

    No flu, and no Strep throat. What I do have is a bad case of the
    "bug" that is going around plus a double dose of ear infection, and
    mild sinus infection.

    I honestly can't remember (outside of having surgeries) when I
    was so wiped out of energy.

    Hope to be back to a semi-normal (? if that is even possible for me)
    functional state soon.
    Awwwww {{{{{Louise}}}}}!

    Sorry you have been feeling un-well, Louise. I can relate as I have been I'll for the past two weeks and even though I am better, I still have no energy and can't shake the sinus headache. Hope you get well quickly!!

    Same thing happened to me. And she even named who it came from! I spent a loooong time making it and then the very next month -- off it went. Like you, my feelings were hurt and I was more than a little shocked. I know that space is limited in some homes, but if you don't like something or don't have room, maybe consider re-gifting it to your guild?

    SP, sit tight. It's only the 7th. I haven't put your package together yet, but I will very soon. Will probably mail on Monday.
    Had a very good meeting with the new lawyer yesterday and we left feeling more confident than ever before. That was followed by a good meeting with the SBA inspector. Fingers crossed! We also got in contact with two builders who do modular homes and are hopeful that we will find an affordable solution. I had to get the assessed value from the city and county and was shocked that our teeny weeny cottage on a 40x100 plot was valued at just under $450,000! More than a little crazy -- and I cannot imagine anyone paying that much for it pre-storm.
