I haven't done this iodine test, but want to thank you for the reminder. Dh and I both need to do this.
I don't know what is happening with your neighbor, but it is always good to recheck one's position and adjust as necessary. Take care of you, please? This is just a loving reminder and not a lecture.
I'm sorry to read of your continued financial burden. I well understand what that is like, the sometimes helpless and hopeless feeling that it will never end. It is situations and times like this, where a group of like-minded people would be SO appealing.
