@hellie jo wrote:Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. Unfortunately I spent my birthday in the hospital..I was there for a week.and I was miserable.I am now waiting for results of my bone marrow biopsy.My body just don"t want to produce any blood cells.Had 2 infusions.But I am hanging in there.
Okay, that's supposed to be a hug, not an assault, but you get the idea. 
It's a pretty day here is SE Michigan. My day so far has been productive. I went to the pet cemetery this morning and put new solar lights down for 'mom and the boys'. I've been going for 30 years and this was the first time that the grass was so overgrown that I almost walked past the dogs' graves. My mother's dog is buried there and I was more or less guilted into buying the grave next to it 5 years before my dog died because Ma didn't want her dog to be surrounded by strangers.
I couldn't even visit until I paid the office staff a visit to find out what is going on. Let's just say I can't even visit the dead without starting something. I asked if there was something I needed to know about the cemetery part of the operation (there is also a boarding facility). When the guy asked me why I said because in the 30 years I've been coming here it's never looked like hel* before. It was my understanding that this cemetery is guaranteed to be a cemetery after I'm long gone and frankly there are standards for how it will be kept in the contract I signed and still have.
I learned that the landscaping family that maintains the cemetery grounds had a death in their family and apparently the cemetery is having a hard time getting a response. I said, look I appreciate how it is to have these kinds of contractor issues because I'm in vinyl fence purgatory - have you tried the 'your not getting paid' approach yet? If this is going to be problematic perhaps you can dig up what's left of my loved ones, cremate them and send them home with me, where they will rest in a cared for environment.
Now I'm gonna have keep an eye on that. Sigh.
After that I went to Target and picked up an online order. My HVAC company sent out a tech and I had the annual A/C inspection/tune up appointment.
Short of one pathetic text from the owner of the fence company at 11:15 am stating he would be here in 2 hours 
I got nothing on the fence front today.

@Bird mama I admire your knowing what and how to say something when dealing with every so and so, I usually always think of the words after the moment, am much better writing.
DD and boyfriend were having so much trouble with the landlord in the house they were renting that they moved recently. He wouldn't repair things, the roof leaked so there was mold in the house, etc., etc., etc., so I told her to go to small claims court, but being young and not courageous enough, neither of them would even tell the landlord that they would do that if things were not fixed, dumb of him because he will have to fix everything in order for anyone to move in.
So very sorry to hear you were in the hospital during your birthday. I hope your test results come back ok. Take it easy and take gentle care. Keep in touch.
