-> Time to break out the recording of "Taps"  file?  We're done with
-> finals, have a bit of a break before classes start up again. Steve is

Oddly, no sooner than I'd ordered the new one, the screen went back to
normal.  I'm going to hang onto the new one though, because when screens
really do go, they can go catastrophically.

-> auditing Greek I with a different professor during J(anuary) term to
-> get a few concepts planted better into his brain. He starts on the 3rd,
-> regular semester starts about the 27th. I begin a 7 week one on the
-> 20th, then a week end intensive the end of March. I'd take another 7
-> week one but it would interfere with the trip I have planned for April.
-> 
Just as well.  That's one language I don't know much of, other than a few
culinary or theological words here and there.
 
-> -> 38 today but I don't think it got there.  Low tonight of 16, same
with
-> -> tomorrow. High tomorrow is to be right around freezing.
-> 
->  RH> That's warmer than we were.
-> 
-> Not much, and we've got snow/sleet/freezing rain coming in after
-> midnight tonight. Steve cooked some collards with a meaty country ham

How lovely.  It's a bit nippy here at the moment, highs in the 20s.

-> -> Mom doesn't object to the volume level so I think her hearing is
-> -> beginning to go a bit as well.
-> 
->  RH> Could be.

-> I wouldn't be surprised.

It always does diminish to some extent as we age.  
 
->  RH> Leftover stew is usually better than fresh anyway.
-> 
-> Most of the time, yes. We finished that stew yesterday. On the way home
-> from class, Steve stopped at the resale shop around the corner from our
-> house. He found (and bought) a Calphalon hanging rack for pots; it's now
-> hanging (and loaded) in our kitchen.

Woo Hoo!  I found a small consignment store here in town; I've bought a few
things there, and hope to off-load some clothes I got at the 99 cent sale
at the Sally this week.  There aren't any dressing rooms and everything
there is final sale, but at 99 cents each I'm willing to gamble.

-> 
-> I had my gall bladder taken out on a Thursday & was in church the next

Band-aid surgery allows that.  
 
-> ->  RH> wished she was a AA.  Guess what - God answered her prayers. :-)

->  RH> That's often the case.
-> 
-> And if all goes according to plan, the chemo and radiation will kill
-> every nasty little cell in her body. She will need support--food

Not to mention other ones.  

-> deliveries in disposable containers, maybe rides to/from treatments,
-> cute hats to cover the bald head, someone to make sure she naps when
-> tired, etc, etc, etc.

I don't know what they're going to do in that regard.  Her husband works
from home a lot of the time, which helps.
