We had a great meeting with our Hunter Douglas sales reps. They've been doing some free business coaching with us the past year and I would have to say it's working as they say we are their top dealer on the Western Slope. They used to really push for us to have a store front - something we are not real sold on as we enjoy working from home. Now they don't push that as much. There is a dealer in Montrose, CO who has a store front yet our sales are higher than theirs. And they have all that overhead. Hunter Douglas is by far the superior product out there so that is the customer we aim to attract. The customer who wants quality not the customer looking for the cheapest blinds out there. Basically you get what you pay for.
I had my 6 month check up at the rheumatologist and all was well. I had lost 20 pounds since the previous visit so she was very happy with that. I told her our medical deductible had been met so she ordered the xrays that are necessary every 2 years - chest, foot, and hand. The chest xray was fine and the foot and hand xrays showed no further deteriation from the arthritis (basically looked the same as two years ago.) That was great news. I asked if I could go down on my dose of methotrexate but since Joe's surgery is coming up she said it would be better not to as stress can kick the whole RA into a flare up. I have another appointment in 4 months.
We finished our Foundational Class. So glad we got that in and so glad I finally got to hear the whole class. I thought the teachers did a great job. Still nothing quite like Dr. Wierwille and the Ambassador scene or the Session 5 of CHIST IN YOU! CHRIST IN YOU! CHRIST IN YOU! -- the hope of glory. But there was only one Dr. Wierwille. The students were all very blessed and we have 2 students signed up for the next class. We should run another class in March or July for sure.
I went to my primary doctor because my sinuses have been really bothering me for two months and kind of irritating for about a year. She gave me amoxycllin. It's helping a little, but she said it was a tough area to treat and I may need to be on it for a month. So I just keep on taking it.
Ben had a Service Learning day at Corn Lake where they took water temperatures and did some clean up of the area and a lot more. He had a fun day with that. I love that kind of learning.
We have one week of school and Ben's birthday next week. Then it will be Driver's Education and Thanksgving week. Then we will celebrate Joe's birthday early and go to one more week of school and then off to Denver for surgery. Ben starts basketball practice next week also. Lots and lots going on.
