Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> I know what she felt like--after my wrist surgery in September, we
-> -> And, after being gone for a month, it was good to get back to our own
-> -> bed.
-> 
->  HN> There are few things in life we take
->  HN> so much for granted and are so happy
->  HN> to see after a long absence than our
->  HN> own bed!
-> 
-> Even a short absence makes us realise how much we miss ouw own bed. Just
-> got back last night from an unexpected 5 day trip up to NY--the wife of
-> Steve's oldest brother passed away unexpectedly last Monday. Services
-> were Friday so we drove up Thursday, returned over Sunday & Monday.
->
So sad to hear that. Never a good 
trip to have to make. 
 
-> ->  HN> Anne came home from School on Thursday
-> ->  HN> night with the flu. She's been home
-> 
-> -> 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> Several contributing factors, and yes, I did
->  HN> make a chicken soup...but she was not very
->  HN> hungry for most of the week. She also had a
->  HN> severe sinus infection as well as the flu
-> 
-> Misery loves company. I saw that she's now beginning to perk up again,
-> and hopefully able to eat & enjoy some of the soup.
-> 
She stayed home for the week
and we went through 6 gallons
of distilled water for nasal 
rinses! 

->  HN> and could not taste whatever she was eating
->  HN> or drinking. Which does not help to stimulate
->  HN> any appetite.
-> 
-> No, not when you're feeling bad.
-> 
-> ->  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> There is no such thing as an
->  HN> easy dental anything.
-> 
-> Compared to drilling & filling it was easy.
-> 
Not for me...walking into the 
dentist's office is the hardest thing
I have to make my self do. Everything
that happens there is horrible. I come
home from the dentist's office in shock
and usually go to bed for the rest of the
day.

-> ->  HN> Sea slugs...much worse than fish!
-> 
-> -> I don't think I'd want to try eating them.
-> 
->  HN> Blech no! She's keeping busy working on about
->  HN> 5 publications she has "in the pipeline" and
->  HN> was too busy to keep up with while she was at
->  HN> Cal Public Lands. This weekend she and boyfriend
->  HN> are going back out to Bodega Bay for a visit and
->  HN> Amanda is having a meeting with her Phd advisor
->  HN> on publication work.
-> 
-> 
-> So she's busy, but not found a new job yet.
->
Still busy...still no job..she's
putting out a lot of resumes, and 
making some phone and video interviews
but nothing back yet (that I've heard
of at least).
 
-> ->  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.
-> 
->  HN> We use the Sandwich thins as well..and
->  HN> look for higher fiber ones as well.
-> 
-> So do we, and those without white flour. BTW, my last A1C was 5.6 and
-> I'm now down to 8 units of insulin.
->
Congrats!! Good work!!
 
-> -> ->  HN> Take 'em when you can get 'em!!
-> 
-> -> -> Why do you think I've got a stash of dark chocolate in the pantry?
-> 
-> ->  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)
-> 
->  HN> You're doing very well indeed...buy
->  HN> some suspenders!!
-> 
-> Actually, I'm going to give those slacks away as taking them in would
-> take more time than what I've got right now. The project is a lot more
-> involved than I originally thought, once I looked at the construction
-> better.
