Today at 1400, while sitting in the VAMC waiting room for a doctor's appointment I became a home owner without having to use my VA Home Loan (gratefully we are getting to hold onto that benefit in case we need that loan for emergencies in the future) that the purchase was recognized and logged into the Government's computer database... on the near horizon, my next trip to the doctor is on 7 Feb. to go in to see the eye doctor for a two year check-up and get a new pair of glasses. Dr. Rappaport's nurse called me this morning to let me know that they will be increasing my thyroid dosage, and that my vitamins and other supplements have been helping me greatly! The hot tea in the evening after dinner and when i take my meds have been showing improvement!

But knowing that I was finally able to buy the house that i've wanted to buy since i was 16 years old. Yeah, it took me 30 years and ten days (yes, that's right, i was able to finalize the purchase of this house ten days after my 46th birthday, when the original closing day was suppose to be on my birthday...)! The past five months have been wrapped up and tied up thanks to all that went into buying the this HOME for my family. it's something that i am both grateful for and still extremely Gob-smacked...

The only thing that would have made this perfect would have been to get to see the boys, to give them the box of toys, books and movies that i've been getting for them over the years. Doctor Joshi said that i look so much better, so much healthier... and that he was so incredibly pleased to see how much improvement in my health over the past six months that has come just from the ability to get some sleep.

Now, I just need to find a decent mattress for the hospital bed!
