...Barely tolerable, I daresay...

Hubby did, indeed, get almost all of the stuff he wanted back yesterday.  Two items were still missing and the guy had the nerve to say he didn't remember Hubby asking for them.  He says he'll bring them back to the house and call Hubby when they're there.  Quite a turnaround from telling me that he took EVERYTHING to the dump, isn't it?  I would like to know where the fault lies in this fiasco.  Did the realtor screw up or did the cleaning man disregard instructions?  Those are the only two alternatives I can see. 

It amazes me how people see things how they want to see them.  Neighbors are coming to the realtor telling him that Hubby told them he'd give them a deal on the house.  Hubby is more diplomatic than that.  He told one man that he could make first offer on the house if he was still interested, but that's it.  Somehow that became a deal on the price.  Why should we take less than we can get for the house that has caused so much trouble in the past 4 years?  Hell No!

My dear Muffin died 3 years ago today.  I still miss her terribly at times.  It still hurts me to know she died alone in a strange place because I was in FL.  I know there wasn't anything I could have done for her and I was spared the agony of seeing her in pain, but not being there for her or myself has been a weight on my heart.  I hope there is a Rainbow Bridge and that she waits there for me, but if there isn't and I'll truly never see her again...

Oh God, I'm a sodding mess today.  First a really wrenching story to read (I knew it was bad before I started it, but... whew!  Good story, though.) and now memories of our first furbaby. 

I think I've lost 3 lbs this week with the you-can't-eat-anything diet.  I was symptomatic all day yesterday and only got relief chewing on Tums Smoothies.  I guess I can rejoice in my good calcium intake.  I'm OK so far today.  But then, I've only had a banana and saltines and it's 4:30.  I am so tired of this GERD and worried that it's something worse.  The Prevacid doesn't seem to work as well as the Aciphex did when I started it.
