Whirlwind and Kidneys

There's so much I haven't recorded the last two months and I have to put it on the shelf and not get anxious.   Documenting our family is so important to me, when I fall off like this I have to remind myself not to let it bother me.   Adam graduated pre-school last night and Abbey this morning... Growing up so fast.  They both did so well.   I have some great photos.

Work has begun on 3 Bittersweet Lane.  Overwhelmed a little by paint choices.   Things are popping up.... Mold under the master bath may mean an unplanned rip out of a perfectly good  bathroom.   I threw the kids in the car this afternoon and rode up there to talk to Kevin about a few choices.   Abbey picked her room color right away... Never indecesive.  Sweet 16 pink.  But I kep forgetting to take photos  ARGH!   I even brought my camera today.   I love the house more every time I step in.  Todd feels the same.  The kids call it the new house and live to run around it but we didn't have a working toilet until this week.  Adam shared with me last week he was worried about moving to a house with no potty and no power.   We told him we'd have both before we went back, but I could tell it weighed on him.  Today he thanked Kevin 'for fixing my potty'.  Very seriously.   

 Landscape work has begun, too.  The property was such a mess!  I can't believe I didn't take immediate before photos!   It's magical in the back and the kids love it.

My blood pressure is great. But... There is still blood and protein in my urine.  I'm being sent to a kidney specialist.  I start to panic.   Kidney failure??  Doctor says no.  But she is wondering if I have an underlying kidney condition causing the crazy Bp.   I'm too young for all this.  She says my body is acting oddly.   F-ing story of my whole adult life.   Maybe I am victim of agent orange as my mother insists.    I don't want to die at 62.
