Home Goals

On Mondays I usually write about home improvements we do. It's a never ending process when you're a homeowner. It's usually a question of letting things be until it rots or fix things as soon as it's needed. 

We've listed a couple of things that need care and repair for our home. There are some things we delayed to this year, since it still works and doesn't need immediate attention. There are some things that need to be fixed immediately for safety. 

Here's what we need to do in the coming months:

1. Repairs

- garage faucet

- sewage is still blocked (neighbor should get it fixed)

- top of front wall (the cats keep scratching it)

- bed reinforcement

2. Cleaning

- gutters

- annual furniture cleaning

- paintings (by batch)

3. Painting 

- front gate

- Front wall

4. Install/replace

- garage light

- dead solar lights

- mailbox

- outdoor stairs 

5. On-time payments 

- fire insurance

- homeowners fees

- RPT

- utility bills

I really want to enjoy our home this year by not doing any major repairs. We nailed our roof issue finally last year, so I'd really want to enjoy, fix the house, decorate and focus on other fun things.

Nebulizing at Home

I'm truly grateful I wasn't warded for the lung infection. It showed up in the x-ray. It's been causing back pain and I was afraid it might be another PE. My pulmo reassured me it's not since my oxygen saturation is normal. It goes down whenever I walk around, but not as bad as when you have a clot.

I was ordered to get a portable nebulizer. My doctor said I probably reached my limit to bad air caused by the construction beside us. The tarp they placed are rotten and throwing trash in our property. It doesn't help keep out the dust anymore. The construction folks don't care even though we complained so many times already to the HOA.

Anyway, nebulizing at home is much better than doing it at the hospital while warded. The equipment at the hospital is really noisy and cumbersome. I'm glad my doctor advised to get a portable device. I'm able to use it anywhere at home minus any cables. It's also very quiet so I can watch TV while using it.

I'm feeling a bit better, but need to make sure I take my antibiotics and do nebulization on time. I feel woozy after getting medicated, so no lakwatsa for the meantime.
