Rags,

   That's GREAT news about your A1C, cholesterol and blood pressure!!!! Okay if I join in that happy dance with you?!?!?! :) WAY TO GO!! Keeping that stuff under control can be tough!

And Susan, a cleaning lady, huh? I used to be a nanny and the family I worked for had a cleaning lady too....not sure why as the house was always just so. I think the mama would clean before the cleaning lady came...but then again, it was a professional family with professional decorators, etc....in my opinion, it wasn't a house that was lived in, warm or loving. But anyway...cool beans for you!!! I wouldn't mind someone coming here to do the floors...which really would be better off if they were swept and mopped daily. I do sweep daily but the mopping...well, maybe once a week. I do have a friend who has been after me since I was diagnosed in December...she said she would come help with anything regarding organizing and cleaning...she loves to do it. I mean LOVES. I have yet to take her up on it, I suppose I just think it's my space and my mess, I need to tend to it. Speaking of which, today is laundry day here on the mountaintop. It's supposed to be 93 degrees by the end of the day so I'm doing bedding and hanging it all out on the line. AC and fans are on high, curtains have now been closed as the cooler morning air is now steamy and hot.
    I am going to yoga tonight and am way excited about it. It will be the first time in 3 weeks!!! So...I'm getting dinner around too so Pete will be able to eat when he gets home instead of waiting for me.
    Also, there is a chair sitting in my living room in the middle of the walkway. It's been there for maybe a month now with promises from DH to move it to the shed and later to the Salvation Army or local thrift shop. I am sick of looking at it and of it being in my way so I'm going to push it out to the front door and leave it on the porch. Maybe he'll see it then. I seriously think that he has the ability to NOT SEE things sometimes. It doesn't bother him so it's not there. I wish I could do that!!! I'm sure I do though as we all do....human nature I suppose. ;)
   Ramble. Ramble. Ramble. Time to get busy.
Later Gators!
