Thanks Wendy.  I know.  I had myself a little why me how unfair pity party.  But shook it off pdq.  It's a champagne and caviar life for him now. (well more of one than before)

Oh, this breaks my heart to hear this.  Praying for you both and hoping he has a good while yet to be pampered and spoiled.

Oscar - I'm so, so, so sorry about Tank.

Wendy...Were you able to get your preferred spot?  How is the decision made?  Is it based on seniority or drawing numbers out of a hat? 

Oscar...Good thoughts sent to you & Tank.

I picked up this book at the library called  the life-changing magic of tidying up by Marie Kondo.  Before I was even finished reading it, I am organizing my clothes in the closet and drawers, which I have been meaning to do for months now.  Interesting book and I have used some of the things she wrote, like folding my clothes to stand up in the drawer instead of laying them down flat.  I like how I can see it all at a glance.  Some far out stuff in there too, like anthropomorphism, but since I have read a lot of Feng Shui books too, which tells you even inanimate have energy, I didn't think it was too far out.  Who knows I might even greet my house when I come home like she does. I know I am happy to be home after a tough day.

Does anyone drink alkaline water?  I have been reading about all the health benefits it does for you so wondering if it is true.  Husband & I are going to make a batch tonight and start tomorrow drinking it.
 

Just so yas know Sun of your influence, I did get the Feng Shui book you recommended, got it last week.
