Looking to save on energy bills
I have done the Home Depot ceramic tile clinic and actually, layed a tile. So, here is the HD and Lowes clinic schedule for the month soon ending:

Lowes : Winterize your home Sat. at 1:00pm

Home Depot: Fuel Efficient Home Heating Solutions Sun. at 1:00pm

I am going, and hope to learn somethings.

2. I missed Sat. (my reconstructed ankle ached to the point of
taking a pain pill at 4:00am, I haven't taken one for 2months and it was only 1/2 a one. Cold (51 degrees and rainy here. So, I didn't go). Tomorrow the Eagles are playing a 1:00pm, so I probably won't make it.

I still have next week and plan on going. You will just have to wait a little longer, believe me, I want to go. I did a ceramic tile class there, (HD) and we actually, troweled the area, and laid a tile ourselves. I actually, believe they are worth the time.

Monday night they are having a FOR HER 2 1/2hr. how to update your kitchen clinic and I am going to that, God willing.

4. So, I went to Lowes today for the class and it was a confused mess.
Apparently, two dept's. were fighting over whose responsibility it was and no one had the info. It looked bad for the store because someone else had called looking for it for today.

Some one (HD or Lowes) is offering another such type class in Nov. They have classes on a week/monthly basis so hopefully that one will actually be offered when they say it will. This month I will be in on it from the beginning of the month so I could push the issue if there is a problem.

5. For you, anything. (Just kidding) You are a great sharer of info
so I will try to do the same! I can't believe this, but I still can't walk normal or carry weight from ankle surgery (7/7), then I think my Lyme is flaring up, viral pericarditis, (inflammation of the lining of the heart caused virally earlier this month), and tonight I tripped over the vacuum cord and maybe broke a toe on the same foot as the ankle, at least did a toe shoe ballet toe on that foot. The toe and ankle are throbbing like a heart beat.

It has been a really butt kicking few months. I was going to go to HUD tomorrow for their class, but I am not sure how well I will be able to walk. I just got off crutches last month (except for carrying things up the steps!), so I'll have to see.

The good news is I still have percocets left, I don't like pain pills so I take 1/2's most of the time, so at least if I need too, I'll be able to sleep tonight.
