    • About Me

      I am married and have a wonderful husband and 2 great boys ages 20 & 16. I came to DS looking for support with my heart problems. My lastest being rhythm problems. I had a heart ablation done and so far so good. I just try to take one day at a time.

      From nixfix Saturday

      Hi sweet Jan. I can finally say the *s* word now. It snowed Thursday. I received about 3 inches. It was a wet heavy snow. My driveway needed to be plowed. It's suppose to warm up by nest week. I'm hoping the snow melts by then! My 2 dogs loved the snow. They just sniff and sniff outside :) They are too cute ;) How have you been Jan? I hope all is well with you! I'm doing well. I'll be going out for coffee with dad today. I did a lot of housework yesterday. So, I don't have too much on my agenda today. I hope your football team wins tomorrow. Enjoy your weekend!! Huge hugs, Katey XXXX

      From nixfix Thursday

      Hi Jan!! We might get snow today! Blah! It'll be a mix of rain and snow. We might get an inch. I'm not ready for this stuff. The good thing, is the snow won't last long. We'll be back in the 50s soon. I've been doing lots of yard work by raking my lawn. It's exhausting. I had my lawn mowed, and the leaves got mulched. It's easier to rake the leaves. I've been doing well. I still have my panic attacks, but I try to control them the best I can. I still have coffee dates with dad. Mom is happy and healthy. I can't believe the holidays are almost here. Soon, I'll be decorating for Christmas! I pray things are going well for you!! I think of you often! Have a wonderful day!! Katey xxxx
