I was thinking Xmas tree stand when you said it, and wondered why your stand needed a seat

Yeah- I can now confirm it was a seat for a tree in the woods tree stand!

My SIL sent me a pic of how the crockpot turkey meal we brought over today came out.
Looks better than ours! (With string beans! )

Sweet dreams friends

My Dad is expecting a call back from our Empire representative Josh by Tuesday the very latest. We were very grateful to learn today that for an extra fee of course, but still, Empire will help my Dad clear off furniture probably the day before installation. We will get that confirmed. That would be a tremendous blessing. Empire does move and put back furniture itself. Once we have a set date my Dad can call a couple of recommended housecleaners to come after Empire is completely done.

As soon as we know for sure when our major floor work will be done (we are counting on having it and the apartment cleaned within two weeks) my coming home will be so much easier. Plus, we would have time to figure out bathroom options and obviously inform the facility and find out what assistance they will offer. I would also call my insurance once we have a flooring date.

Meantime, I am so hoping my roommate situation might be taken care of by the middle of this coming week. That would make staying here enormously healthier.

There is always hope that a personal situation will resolve to allow me and my Dad true peace and the possibility of my getting more therapy coverage. We would know this by mid next week too. I just want to clarify that for both of us this would still be the absolute ideal. No question.

Regardless, what matters is that we are moving posititively forward.

Hugs to all.

They have counter top reverse osmosis systems that I may look into. That way I don't have to worry about cutting into the water supply under the sink. I really worry about leaks.

The counter top RO systems look interesting!

We have a leak stop valve (https://www.amazon.com/Express-Water-Shutoff-Connect-Connection/dp/B01KKOK8ZW?ref_=ast_sto_dp) for our RO system. If the valve detects water leaking, it will shut off incoming water supply. So far, so good -- no leaks and no standing water under the sink!

Mona I hope things work out for the best. If your insurance has home care that would help out alot.

theluckyrabbit Thank you for the info on the undersink RO systems. It is a work in progress and I am slow making decisions. LOL!

Pea That food looks delicious. Definitely something to make for dinner.

Judique Hope you are having a nice trip.

Good morning. It is 41 now with temps heading to around 54. It was chilly yesterday afternoon at the soccer field. I felt bad for Ethan's team as they only had 5 kids show up, the minimum needed and they all had to play the entire game. They were tired. We went out for dinner afterwards at a Hot Pot restaurant. You cook your own food in soup broth. Not a fan. Today I am heading to Jeff's for a visit. I have been to the gym this morning, ran the dishwasher, and will do a few other things. Kate invited me to join her and her mother for bridal gown shopping. It is the day after I get back from Sedona which is OK if I get back on time. It was nice of her to ask me. I am still on the fence about going anyway with all the flight issues and they will only get worse as time goes on. It doesn't look like there will be a resolution anytime soon. I cannot afford to be stuck in Phoenix after the trip as I need to be back to work on Monday. No one does my work except for a few daily essentials. If I cancel I will still take a few days off and maybe head to NH for a couple of days. The tour company has a couple of other programs I am interested in so I can use the credit for one of those. I believe my friend and her friend will still go. They are retired so have some wiggle room in their schedule that I don't have.

Have a good Sunday.
