Ärende: keeping cool
====================
Hi Hap,

->  hn> I tend to keep a lot of irons in the fire simultaneously

-> I think most of us do. I just finished supper prep--fajitas over rice
-> again. This time I'm using the rice blend and cooking it in stock on the
-> stove top. Since we're leaving soon, I didn't want to use the rice
-> cooker--it needs more rice than I wanted to cook to work efficiently.

 hn> I have 5 projects going today, not counting the
 hn> fun ones I want to do if I get the "spare" time!

Sounds about the way things are here. I've finished some things but
others crop upto take their place. Learning the new computer is one
that is on my plate now.

 hn> Not likely today, because Anne's mother arrives
 hn> tomorrow....but I always have the "list"!

Throwing everything else off balance? I know there will be at least one
trip to eat out for you. (G) One night you don't have to cook.

->  hn> Ours were just plain glass, it was nice that we could

-> And let in all the geckoes. Steve had to take several panes out to put
-> the air conditioners in--we noticed that the geckoes loved the small
-> spaces available then to go in & out of the house.

 hn> Gecko's is way better than rats!

Yes, even when they come tumbling out of the medicine cabinet at
11pm, startling you good! Never saw any in the pantry tho.

-> -> like to remember for when we (if we) eventually build a house.
->  hn> Old saying...We can't control the wind
->  hn> But we CAN adjust our sails !

-> Yes, and mine have been adjusted so many times--getting downright
 hn> tacky.

 hn> Sometimes that's what it takes to get upwind!

Yes, it recharges me, a second wind so to speak.

->  hn> I can do rudimentary sewing, buttons and mending tears
->  hn> anything beyond that, is beyond me!

-> Steve sews his own insignia on--that which is sew on now. He's done that
-> for most of his career for his BDUs; the ACUs are mostly velcro for

 hn> I did all my insignia sewing when I was in the navy, but haven't
 hn> needed to do too much since then.

None needed for the post office when you worked for them? What about
your Ms uniform?

->  hn> Very polite way you put it...yeh, it's
->  hn> quite not so polite (grin)

-> I try to put things diplomatically if possible. (G)

 hn> Good job!

Lke I told Rachel to tell David that scrapple was made of pig parts (G)
