"Home Improvements"

[totite]

Hey Shiny. Saw the title of your new thread and had to speak up. Check out my thread in Newcomers - H Unhappy and Left. You'll see that one of my H's major reasons for being unhappy is that our house needed improvements. Not that this is my fault, but since he moved out I have been painting, decluttering, and even demolished a wall last weekend! SO don't think that your methods are silly - cuz that means that mine are too.

My H is actually coming over tomorrow night to help remove the studs of the newly demolished wall. After that I am either ordering or installing laminate flooring. If this helps him feel better about our home and therefore better about me - great. If not, then me and the kids have all of these new improvements to enjoy. He even indicated last week that I was making it hard to stay away - between the improvements and the 30# lost in doing them - and I told him "good!"

And I have to agree with everyone - get checked out for gallstones. I think kidney stones have similar symptoms. Regardless, women ignore their health too much and need to seek help at the first signs and not when it becomes a major health issue. Call the doc...
