On the up side Jeffrey has been here a week now.  Took his car in today and got the oil changed and antifreeze put in radiator so it doesn’t freeze this winter.  He has a lot to learn about living in part of country that winter happens.   That said we are unpacking and getting used to each other on a 24/7 basis.  I really think this is going to work out though.  We are doing some reorganizing of the house and shopping for new furniture.  We found a cool place that has a great sofa, but haven’t ordered anything yet.

On the down side I had to go to the ER last Saturday because I though I was having a stroke.  The left side of my face quit working, though fortunately it turned out to Bell’s Palsy and not a stroke, but it was scary though.  I am still symptomatic and probably will be for a few more weeks and I am adjusting.   I can’t blink or completely close my left eye and because there is little muscle tension in the left side of my face chewing is annoying because food tends to accumulate in my cheek.  I guess it can last for several weeks so I’m just being patient.
