If I weren't so tired, I'd go to sleep

It's been eons since I wrote anything here. Sometimes life gives me whiplash. There is so much going on at one time, that to sit down and take time to rewrite what I'm dealing with seems like staging a recent car wreck so someone can take photographs.
So what HAS happened since I lkast wrote here?

No suspect or resolution to my brother's murder. It has been determined that he was struck with an object that caused the skull fracture which killed him. Blood splatter patterns determined this.

Lenny had two hospitalizations for what could have become dialysis dependent kidney failure. Thank GOD we got him in just in time. His nephrologist says one more week and he would have been in renal failure.

Matthew is, and ever will be the light of our lives. Every day is more amazing, more challenging, and the greatest blessing imagineable.

My candida Albicans is well under control after a year of staying on a restricted diet. I cheat a bit here and there now, with no down days. Except for bread and yeast. OOOoohhhh how I crave bread. I dream of a crusty French loaf, with a quarter pound of cold butter to slap on and chow down. But ... it's the one thing that causes me to ache as if I have the flu,sleep for 15 hours at a time, and have such wicked brain fog i behave like I have Alzheimer's. Of course I've TRIED to cheat. But i pay. And it's not worth it.

No move to North carolina. God told us in sooooo many ways that we are meant to remain here. We finally listened. Since then, life has just gotten better and better.

Remodeled both bath, and they are GORGEOUS. New kitchen countertops,cabinets, pass-thru bar to the patio, recessed ceiling and lighting, new kitchen chandelier, and soon, replacing the carpet I detest in our MBR with wood laminate.

Matthew has taken two D-Backs baseball camps so far this summer, and will take his third in two weeks. he is doing beautifully, and showing interest and ability to develop as a pitcher.

Lenny is as always, the Love of my life. My soulmate, my biggest aggravation, my joy and laughter, the reason I need valium, the person I want to grow old with, and the person who will make me gray faster than Matthew. I Love that man so much.

I'm ohsoverytired, now. Sleep.
