I paid off one credit card so I could get the full benefit of a balance transfer at 0% interest until June. This may enable me to finally get that amount paid off nad keep up with the other one. I will only use the one and pay it off each month - unless I go berserk! I could not pay rent on the cabin and pay off the credit card so that is the only good thing about no longer renting the cabin. We miss it very very much.

Now have no hot water here in the city. I am hoping this might become a priority for R soon! At least we do have running water here.

The good news is that even though I am still having periodic coughing spells, some of which are dreadful, I did manage to get to the pottery this afternoon: 5 heart shaped small bowls, 4 smallish pitchers and a bunch of lids of which I hope some will fit the already dry jars I made a while back. I really need to make a template and make ALL openings and, hence, lids the same size! I can probably get these dry and fired before the Market on Sunday. I'll go back up in a while and check dryness and carry on to the next steps as possible.

I also talked for well over an hour with my friend and health consultant in PA - thanks to my new cheap long distance. Wonderful to be able to catch up with her and the doings of her wandering daughter. I, then, sent her my recent writings as I realized I might have done sooner were I thinking clearly.

Brain dysfunction. I am beginning to feel I am coming out of the malaise of these last 8 months, hopefully. Very heartening. Now to be very careful I do not fail to use my wonderful new mask, or the respirator when necessary - remembering that it is necessary!

Right now, while I wait for things to dry, would be a good time to look at recent article on environmental illness. A friend suggested I print it and give it to people so they can better understand my difficulties and be more understanding, and be forewarned when I get grumpy.
