======================
Howdy Ruth!
-> 
-> -> 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.
-> 
I often shot mixed rolls as well...but slides are 
easier to separate than negs are...but I used to
do that as well. 
-> 
-> ->  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.
->
As long as it turns out and I can 
walk without pain...and a cane
I'll be happy!
 
->  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.
->
I don't mind early...but I'd rather be second
in line than first!
 
-> ->  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?
->
Have not made the "snack food run" yet...if
I did they'd be gone before the surgery! (g)
 
-> ->  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.
-> 
Our days have gotten significantly 
shorter already. Soon Anne will go 
to work and return in darkness...
Baseball is almost over, only six 
games to go and then it's a long 
winter's nap...I'm planning to spend
a lot of the time in the studio painting
this year. 

-> ->  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.
-> 
Kauai is nice, used to be very quiet and rural.
wonder how it is now?
I'd still pick Molokai if I was to move there
again.
chat with you soon
