Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  HN> Mom's a tough old bird, but she's on
-> ->  HN> oxygen 24/7, has COPD, and a bag. She's
-> ->  HN> about as frail as she has ever been..but
-> 
-> -> So how's she doing now? Giving the nurses their marching orders?
-> 
->  HN> Up in Rehab and hoping to get home within
->  HN> a week or so. She's not the Marching orders
->  HN> kind of person. But she's always been a
->  HN> hard worker.
-> 
-> Good, sounds like she is doing much better. Probably can't wait to get
-> home and away from hospital cooking.
->
She is scheduled to go home tomorrow(fri)
and I'll give her a call to see if it in
fact came about as predicted.
 
-> ->  HN> I'm on the computer more than the TV,
-> ->  HN> but I'm still on the "go" most of
-> ->  HN> the time and not online. I only get
-> ->  HN> to check in here a few times a week
-> ->  HN> right now.
-> 
-> -> I'm trying to stay caught up so I'm doing Fido before we hit the road
-> -> again. I know the day we fly, I'll up/down load but probably not get 
it
-> -> read until we get back to NC. I've an ortho doctor's appointment,
-> -> restock the fridge, etc the next day so it may go unread for a couple 
of
-> -> days.
-> 
->  HN> I get on when I can, usually a
->  HN> three minute look into facebook
->  HN> and my email...then it's on the
->  HN> go again. Am getting a bit more
->  HN> painting time in though which is
->  HN> good.
-> 
-> We got home late last Tuesday night and been working on catching up on
-> various things. Hopefully I'll get some sewing done this week. I am
-> beginning to do more than heat & eat (from the freezer) type cooking
-> tho, oven baked some ribs today for supper.
-> 
Dr appointments for Anne, and me
and dental appointments. Working
some events at the ballpark, and
a bit of painting time have kept 
me busy, when I toss in cooking
housework, shopping, and such I
end up with a pretty full week. 

-> -> Time will tell, and she may get her dream job next time around or it 
may
-> -> take another "settle for" one before the dream one comes in.
-> 
->  HN> She's young and has no responsibilities to
->  HN> anyone so now's the time when she can
->  HN> afford to do what she wants to do.
-> 
-> And enjoy it while she can.
-> 
I don't think she is particularly
enjoying being unemployed...but she's
doing what she can to remedy that 
situation.
-> 
-> ->  HN> Anne and I skimped by as well. And as
-> ->  HN> I pointed out to Nancy, I doubt that
-> ->  HN> food stamps have even occurred to Amanda.
-> ->  HN> I doubt she'd apply even if she qualifies.
-> 
-> -> We weren't thrilled with the idea but it was the only way we could 
make
-> -> ends meet. Did a lot of complimentary protien (grains/dairy/legumes)
-> -> type meals and little meats, the meats being ones that would stretch 
for
-> -> several meals (eg a whole chicken, cut up and use all but cluck). 
Bought
-> -> a whole pig once and had it butchered--used all but the squeal.
-> 
->  HN> You do what you need to do, and with
->  HN> kids you have to make sure they get
->  HN> adequate food and care.
-> 
-> Yes, and that's what we did.
->
And it's what you were supposed to
do so you did right!

-> ->  HN> even though it was a goodly sized bit of fudge.
-> 
-> -> Drool................................I might have stretched it out 
even
-> -> more, partly for the carb count, partly for the enjoyment of a good
-> -> piece of candy.
-> 
->  HN> It was good, and probably we could have
->  HN> stretched it out for another day but
->  HN> what we had was good and we enjoyed it.
-> 
-> Life's little pleasures..................
-> 
Take 'em when you can get 'em!!
chat with you soon!
