Today was a great day...

 Today was a great Sunday.... last night while putting together Stevi's bed set that we bought from RC Wiley 3 years ago..(It was a floor model so it was missing pieces...) It fell apart and was not going to happen.  Following my sisters lead, I got on Craig's list and we got her an Ikea canopy Queen sized bed and box spring with mattress for a great price.  Jay went and picked it up while Stevi and I went and saw "21 Jump Street" with our friends Stacy and CJ, then the four of us had lunch.  For a movie review... I would recommend it.  It was laugh out loud funny.  I have never seen Channing Tatum in a comedy but he did great.  I think this may have been the only movie he has been in where he didn't take his shirt off, but besides that it was great.

Afterwards we went across the street to Campo's which is a locally owned restaurant that just opened.  I am still not sure if I will go back.  The menu was minimal and the gourmet pizza was just okay.  

Afterwards Stevi and I went bargain shopping because our guest bedroom and Stevi's bedroom now have queen beds in them so we needed new bedding.  Jay and Stevi are still putting together the bed for her so ours is still on the floor but for a Sunday...Shopping, a movie and lunch with great friends is always a great way to end the week.  Thanks Stacy and CJ for the friendship and laughter, love you both!

3-5 days to pack up and GIT!

Our landlord has been incredible.  The new place will be ready for us by Wednesday, which has had a rush put on it, by our new landlord, and our current landlord is doing everything in his power to help us move as quickly as possible.

 He came in and looked around and we talked about the washer hose breaking and how it was handled, or not handled correctly and how sick Stevi has been, including the fact that Jay and I have had a weird respiratory issue going on, he not only gave us what we needed deposit wise to get into our new home, he is hiring help for us to move, including 4-5 workers and a U-Haul to get it all done in one day.

 Today the Mold inspector came and got samples of the air quality, took a hamper that I had kept the rags in that unbeknown to me was covered in black mold spore and fuzz and disposed of it and also took samples of the mattresses and couch.  He is coming on Tuesday and pick up all of our throw rugs and area rugs and is taking them to a professional cleaner to get them treated and cleaned.

 I have a list of what I need to do in 5 days, I already contacted both schools so I can get Stevi's transcripts sent to Reno High School, my Mom is coming over to help me pack, they brought us boxes and wardrobe boxes today also to get started right away.

  The amount of time we have to move isn't much but almost perfect.  We are able to move her out of this toxic environment, whether the biggest culprit has been mold or stress,it's being handled and  this week is mid-terms ,so Monday starts a new quarter.

 New house, new neighborhood, new school and hopefully we can find an end to this sudden illness and all the madness and depression that has been happening.  One thing at a time.  Stevi is having her biopsies done on April 9th, so that will give us a definite answer about Celiac's Disease and also her Antibodies and her Immunities are being tested.  That will be 2 weeks into our new fresh and clean environment, so hopefully we can get her off of some of this medication and see our happy, active daughter come back........

I have more change coming.......

It's been a great fun filled family summer so far. A lot of playing at the pool and relaxing, and as this summer comes to an end, so does another very short chapter in my life.

I am a creature of habit and I don't like to move around a lot. As of September 1st I will be moving to yet another location to do hair. As many of you know, I closed my salon, Salon Moxie after 5 years in February and moved to a good friends salon in transition. It has given me 5 clear headed months to think on what is important to me at this time in my life and help me decide where I want to be. In a mellow nice relaxing environment. The salon I moved to was great, don't get me wrong, but I have been doing hair for 20 years and have worked in big salons and in my own small salon. I often said if it didn't work out, I would just open a little studio that would be just me.......I have found an opportunity to do just that. There is a new building that offers Salon Studios at 2990 Sullivan Ln. right across from Wildcreek golf course. As always, you can reach me on my cell phone at 775-830-8025 for an appointment, but until August 30, I will be at Divine Creations. So hope to see you at Studio 6 sometime soon!!!!
