I'll get a dry walk today which will be nice. Gotta get to the post office and maybe do a couple of more things while I am out. Then a chore when I get back.

Yup, it is a mess.

SIX! Nice to see you back! I was wondering how you were getting on with the home renovation!

Hubby FINALLY noticed what a moldy nightmare the shower is, so we're going to have a shower and window replacement. No chance of this being DIY, tho! There may be some structural repairs required because I suspect the shower stall has been leaking into to floor and/ or walls for quite a while. (At one time I did chisel out and recaulk dear daughters shower, should have redone ours a long time ago.)

Anyway, looking at replacing three windows, and one shower stall. Also adding a powered vent and possibly replacing the tile floor, depending on what we find when the shower comes out.

Trying to talk hubby into going with solid surface bc, as I may have mentioned already, I hate grout!

Busy researching materials, costs, etc and looking for local contractors. Have two solid leads so far, and spike with a Corian rep but will probably go with Swanstone .. assuming it's not too pricey compared to tile ... bc Swanstone is a little less expensive but in some ways better.

Also been online looking at colors etc. Bc the room gets a lot of sunshine all day long, I think I need to tone it down with blue. Did the guest bedroom that way and every who has seen it thinks it's fabulous.

Think I managed to sort out ONE of my health problems ... possibly not enough salt!

Erratic heartbeat. Blood pressure jacking up and down. Profound lack of energy and depressed mood. Rapid weight loss. Spoke with Dr today and she told me to aim for AT LEAST 1500 mg/ day. I know I wasn't anywhere near that, so I'm aiming for 1/2 teaspoon (1200 mg) plus one Powerade Zero. Anything more is to the good

I hope this works.

The funny thing is, hubby went thru the same thing about 30 years ago. They did all kinds of sophisticated tests on him and tried all all kinds of meds, but I was the one who dxd and fixed the problem.

I think JSF thinks salt is poison, but someone should tell him it's a vital electrolyte required to maintain blood volume.
