Hi Hap,

->  HN> She is scheduled to go home tomorrow(fri)
->  HN> and I'll give her a call to see if it in

-> Then hopefully by the time you read this, your mom has arrived at home.
-> Hope she escaped the nasty weather we've had today--snow, sleet,
-> freezing rain. Not a good day/night to be out.

 HN> She made it home on Friday, and immediately
 HN> went out to the pharmacy and grocery shopping
 HN> which totally wore her out...but she's
 HN> very happy to be back in her own bed!

I know what she felt like--after my wrist surgery in September, we
stopped for supper and then Steve stopped or some ginger ale before we
got home. I needed the supper (hadn't eaten anything in 22 hours) but he
could have dropped me off & then run out for the soda. 20/20 hindsight.
And, after being gone for a month, it was good to get back to our own
bed.


 HN> Anne came home from School on Thursday
 HN> night with the flu. She's been home
 HN> ever since and even with a flu shot
 HN> and Tamiflu prescription she's having
 HN> a nasty time of it. She'll for sure
 HN> stay home on Monday and probably
 HN> Tuesday as well.

Feeding her lots of chicken soup when she does feel like eating? I guess
she picks the flu bug up easier working with younger kids but it's not a
fun way to spend a week.

->  HN> Dr appointments for Anne, and me
->  HN> and dental appointments. Working

-> We had dental appointments in early December, one less thing to worry
-> about in the transition time.

 HN> I have a dental appointment coming
 HN> up this week.

Hope it's as easy as my last one was, just a few x-rays & cleaning.

->  HN> I don't think she is particularly
->  HN> enjoying being unemployed...but she's
->  HN> doing what she can to remedy that
->  HN> situation.

-> At least she's not eating the fish she did reasearch on. (G)

 HN> Sea slugs...much worse than fish!

I don't think I'd want to try eating them.

-> Yes, and I did some creative cooking to make the food dollars go
-> further. Had to use our sourdough starter one day & we were well stocked
-> on bread. Decided to make a pizza crust with it, turned out to be quite
-> good so I did it other times just because.

 HN> I love sourdough, we used to
 HN> make our own, but since we now
 HN> use so little bread the starter
 HN> would be useless.

I'm still watching my carbs but not giving up bread. We have bought
sandwich thins so I can have a "full sandwich" instead of a half one if
I want. I'm seeing my doctor again tomorrow, don't know if she will cut
the insulin dosage again or not. Morning reading have been pretty good
except for the time when I was on antibiotics; it went up a bit then but
has come back down over the last couple of weeks.

-> -> Life's little pleasures..................

->  HN> Take 'em when you can get 'em!!

-> Why do you think I've got a stash of dark chocolate in the pantry? (G)

 HN> We are not quite that brave!

I've got the will power--and it's showing. I've got to take in several
pairs of dressy slacks so they won't fall down around my ankles. I've
got to make sure I wear a belt to avoid that problem. (G)
