==================
Hi Hap,

-> projects for the time we're here.  I've got a couple of boxes (same
-> size) of various recipe clippings, print outs, etc that will get the
-> same treatment.  I've started some of it already; there are some file
-> boxes inside those boxes.

 hn> Since a lot of my photo work was for
 hn> magazine and other publications, I had to keep
 hn> them fairly organized all along.

My dad did photo work for the newspaper he worked for, independent photo
work to suppliment that income and photo work for pure enjoyment (mostly
of us kids growing up but a lot of steam trains).  He's had quite a few
to organise because so many were mixed rolls (unless he was shooting
something major that needed several rolls).  He did all his own b&w
developing and printing at the news office; by the time he left, he was
shooting a lot of color.  His/my mom's income had also gotten high
enough that the supplimental work had been pretty much eliminated.


->  hn> This isn't considered major surgery (at least by
->  hn> the doc) but anytime they cut on me I consider
->  hn> it pretty major!

-> I'd call it major as well.  Not as intensive as the knee surgery I had
-> but still, pretty major.

 hn> I have my pre and post op appts set up now, and
 hn> they will call me a day or so in advance to let me
 hn> know what time to show up for the surgery.

Good, hopefully it will be in the morning--but not at the crack of dawn.

->  hn> than an hour! Home the same day and a couple
->  hn> of days of pain meds (I suppose) that I most likely
->  hn> won't take.

-> Take the pain meds; it makes a lot of difference.  I have been fussed at
-> by doctors who felt that I should be using more than I did/do now but I
-> do use them.  The discomfort caused by not using them will not make you
-> heal any faster; it may actually delay healing.

 hn> I'll take them the first couple of days, but
 hn> will probably stop using them fairly quickly.

Your choice.  Got some light munchies to take them with?

->  hn> I made a couple of meat loaves last night one for this week
->  hn> while I'm at the ball park and one for when I'm "off" my
->  hn> feet.

-> Sounds good to me.  You've got a few more weeks to add things like pasta
-> sauce, chili, stew, etc. (G)

 hn> Most likely some chili, and some crock pot stew.
 hn> Perhaps some roasted chicken as well.

Sounds like things are falling in line.  I had an intense week; this
coming week I've got to have a book review written up by Thursday.  I'm
glad Steve and I both aren't full timme students--one full time aand one
part time are hectic enough.  On Thursdays, he has a class from 3:30 to
6:20.  He'll walk home; I'll have had supper before he gets home.  Then
he walks me to my 7:00 class, comes home and has his supper.  He will do
whatever clean up needs doing (usually very light) and study until he
has to pick me up (in the car, I don't like to walk after dark because
of not being sure of my footing).  Last night he declared a study break
when he picked me up; we had to get some things at Wal Mart and got home
after 10.

->  hn> so she's planning to make a couple of days extra on the
->  hn> Portland trip to come up and visit! Other than that we
->  hn> will see her at Christmas time!

-> She's keeping quite busy but it's good that she will be taking the extra
-> time on the Portland trip to come up & visit.  We'd like to be able to
-> get out to NV and AZ this year but will have to wait because of the
-> other trip.  Sarah will be a year old in about 3 weeks; Robert will be 6
-> in November.  We've seen them twice already this year but ...........

 hn> Amanda is in DC right now and until Wednesday
 hn> (I think) and will be back in Davis for a couple
 hn> of days of meetings before heading back out
 hn> to the lab on Friday or Saturday. I hope to get
 hn> a call from her while she's there but knowing
 hn> how busy those meetings can be I won't be
 hn> holding my breath!

We talked to Deborah on Sunday; she'd just gotten back from a week on
Kaua'i--doing NG stuff mostly but some "fun" time.
