Hi, Penny

The basement apartment seems very grounding, especially after the upheaval of moving here to Portland. You’ve done a great job in making it look very nice. I’d like to suggest a dehumidifier for the clamminess. The moisture might encourage mold, which will not help your health at all. I lived in a basement apartment once, and the dehumidifier pulled out about a quart of moisture every day.

I enjoy reading diary and how-to entries. Thank you for continuing to find time to write.

AND YOUR CAT!! Omigod, he’s almost identical to my most beloved cat, who died 6 weeks ago. Tell me, does Little B. have mismatched eye color?? My cat used to bring cabbage leaves, rose petals, and once even a pouch of tobacco as gifts. Pictures of him are on my 9/26/07 blog entry.

Good luck to you.

If you’re thinking of ways to make some more money, you already write, so are you being paid for it? I was looking online and found a source that pays me to write…so think about that. I have a first assignment to put down 10 ‘how to’ articles, which I know that both you and I could just bang out this weekend, and I’ll get $15 for each one…a bit low for now, but it’s only how to, not a dissertation…and I’ll be eligible for more assignments. I know, ‘how to’ stuff doesn’t get down to the whole human experience, but the ‘how to’ gets people there that haven’t ever tried, and now they know HOW. So, with all your job searching, think about this. I’d certainly like to know how to find trustworthy mushrooms!

Hey Penny! Hang in there! I have some medical conditions of my own that I have been dealing with over the past ten years (Hypothyroidism) and when I lived in Portland I had amazing health insurance (my ex works at Powell’s books, maybe try to get a job there!). I went to the naturopath a lot and was getting treatment that ended up making my condition a whole lot worse than it had ever been, and since I moved back to Ohio and don’t have health insurance anymore, I have gone back to self treatment, which had worked pretty well for me in the past. My ex is great because he keeps on me to keep up with my vitamins and self-treatment, because I am very very lazy when it comes to routines of taking pills and such… It’s definitely a great thing, though, to have people that care enough about you to want you to get healthy and will keep reminding you to stick to your treatments! Good luck and keep us posted!
