Good luck with the walk through. It looks like you have prepared quite a bit.

I'm not worried about actual the walk-through. I just like to have the apartment cleaner than usual when I'm expecting any kind of company. I swept the floors yesterday, but didn't swifter them because I expected Todd, from maintenance, and Corey to track in sand when they came in, and I wasn't going to do it twice. I was right... the floors are a mess again, so I will take care of them this morning.

Todd plunged the sink and it seemed to fix the problem until dinner time when the kitchen sink backed up. Not happy. Corey decided he was going to plunge it, and wouldn't stop even though he was making the problem worse. I finally got the plunger away from him tho. Now when the BR sink drains, the kitchen sink backs up, and vice versa. I will have to call maintenance again.

It was in the mid 60s and sunny yesterday, so we spent a lot of time out on the deck in the afternoon enjoying the nice weather. We hung out with some of our neighbors for a while and had a good time :)

On his way to bed, Corey said it was ridiculous that he had to set 3 sets of alarms to wake up in the morning... maybe he should have set a 4th, or not had 15 beers last night because I woke him up at 5:30am and he was late AGAIN. This kind of drinking is not new. I don't know why he is suddenly having these problems waking up for work now, but he has to get his s- together and realize that alcohol is the real problem.

I think I was so f***ed up yesterday because my electrolytes were off from taking the mag. citrate Monday. I'm feeling much better this morning. It's like a cloud has lifted. I think next time I should do the Mirilax colon cleanse instead of the mag. citrate.

sound like a good idea, maybe try for once a week????

I swept up, but I didn't mop the floors. I'm on strike until people stop trapesing through my apartment tracking sand in. I can demand Corey take his boots off at the door, but I really can't give other people s*** about it like that.

The sinks are fixed... at least for now. I forgot to ask Todd to open the kitchen window for me and fix the screen while he was here tho. It's in the upper 60s right now and it would be nice to air this place out because I think it's stinky in here.

Nobody has come by to do the walk-through yet. Maybe I can get someone from the fire dept. to open the window a crack for me. But not open enough so that the cats can fall through the screen.

I weighed 149 even this morning. So, I'm down 16lbs since I started the diet January 10th. I'm down about 19lbs overall. I had started to wear my size 12 jeans again back then, but I fit into size 8's now. I'm still wearing 10's because they're more comfortable tho.

congratulations kay for your ability to stick to your diet and lose weight.
you have done so well. does corey notice, compliment you?
((((HUGS))))

congratulations. is this the first time corey's drinking is interfering with his work? Is he worried enough to cut back? My father got drunk on just a little.

I looked at the label on the mag. citrate, and it said that you shouldn't take it if you have kidney disease. It was on my med list when I went to that yahoo nephrologist who dx me with kidney failure (stage II), and he didn't say anything about it, but maybe that was the problem... why I got so messed up after taking it this time. My last eGFR put me at stage III, so maybe that was what made the difference.
I will TRY to make myself do the Mirilax thing once a week. The problem with it is that I never know how long it's going to take to work... sometimes 10-12hrs, sometimes less, but up also to 24 in the past :o


Corey says he can't tell how much weight I've lost because he sees me everyday! He has said only once that he could tell I was skinnier, but he teases me because I'm still wearing the same sweats around the house and they're kinda hanging off of me. No compliments tho... MEN!!!

He has never had any work-related issues related to his drinking before. He's what you would call a "functional alcoholic." My mother was like that.
I think a BIG problem right now is he starts drinking SO EARLY... sometimes right when he gets home from work, and that could be around 3'oclock (or even earlier), so by 8pm he's SMASHED. I told him he needs to stop doing that, and I told him his drinking is starting to catch up with him, and he obviously can't drink like he used to and wake up to get to work on time the next day. He agreed. We'll see what happens. I'll be on his ***** a bit about it now (but not drinking in general cuz I know better than that) because he's putting his job in jeopardy.

The fire department didn't come yesterday. It was the fire alarm company. They just checked the sprinkler in front of the door. I offered Janet and George free reign to check out the rest of the apartment, but aside from Janet peeking into the apartment, they said they didn't need to because everything was new and our apartment was clean... they said were looking for property damage and people who are smoking in their apartments. I think the fire alarm co. was just an excuse to do walk-throughs. They were in the apartment next door for a long time, and there was a lot of conversation. And I could hear our upstairs neighbor b****ing at them.

I have to buy a bunch of stuff off of Amazon today, but it's all stuff we need (sheets, new pill cutter, Feliway, something I forget but it's saved to my wish list). I still don't like the idea of doing it tho. I feel guilty spending the $$$.

I have to do laundry today. After last week's hellish experience, I don't know where I should go tho. I know that earlier is better wherever I go, but I've been ignoring the clock, and have been procrastinating. I have to get into the f***ing shower!!!

maybe he is scared now about his drinking. now he obviously isn't in denial. I didn't know you had kidney problems. I am so sorry. You must always feel like you are walking a tight wire. Can you take a prescription drug for your problem?

My bipolar, drinking, pill taking brother finally cleaned up his act when he got a job that does urine testing.
He's now getting good pay and his star is still rising in that company.
