 NB>>> How's his mood...?  Is he taking it in stride ok...?
 RH>> I think he's somewhat discouraged at this point.
 NB>> Understandable... hope things are getting a little better by now...

 RH> Not really. He's been moved several different times, more testing, and
 RH> very few visitors so was in a very down frame of mind when we talked
 RH> last night. He's no idea of what the long term plans are, and at this
 RH> point, I'm not sure anybody does. His doctor there was to talk to his
 RH> regular doctor, don't know if they've done so yet. The saga
 RH> continues...................

And now it's been decided to move him to the nursing home... has that
happened yet...?  Are they figuring for rehab/strengthening or
long-term...  And is he accepting it...?
 
 RH>> that much any more so doesn't always think to look for a calendar
 RH>> and appointments.
 NB>> So maybe the calendar should be moved to someplace where he sees it
 NB>> more readily...  :)

 RH> Only other place would be in front of his computer monitor, and that
 RH> wouldn't work.

It could be on the wall above the monitor, or on an adjacent wall that
he might see as he comes to use the computer...  :)

 RH>> Still going thru and figuring what else will work for us. 
 NB>> That can be fun, though... even when it's more just dreaming... :)

 RH> Dreaming for some, saving up money for others.

Indeed.
 
 NB>>> True... but I've got no quarrels with the capacity of my oven
 NB>>> even as it is... plenty large for what I need... :)
 RH>> Not cooking a monster of a turkey or baking a dozen loaves of bread?
 NB>> Never did, really..  But a good-sized turkey, many a time... Usually
 NB>> only 2 loaves of bread at a time, but I think at one time I was doing
 NB>> 4, for some of my recipes...  :)  Room enough for that, too...  :)

 RH> I used to do 4 loaves, pull them out and put 4 more into the pans, let
 RH> them rise and bake. I'd do 8 in a session but that kept us in bread
 RH> for 2-3 weeks, important when you've got 2 little ones to take care of.

I only had the one little one... and a couple of older guys living with
us... So the bread went fast, but at least I had other "adults" around
to help keep an eye on the kid, potentially, anyway... ;)  One of them
was 26 going on 4, or so we said, given his level of responsibility...
nothing wrong with his intellect, just with his active maturity level.
He did learn some from us while he stayed here... and still sometimes
contacts us to tell us how much he appreciated our intervention.. ;)

 NB>>> Depends, I suppose, on how much is actually procrastination, and
 NB>>> how much is trying to get too many things done at once... ;)
 RH>> Some procrastination, some judicious postponment, some juggling
 RH>> and letting a ball or two drop...........................
 NB>> And hoping that the dropped balls are either rubber, to bounce back
 NB>> in when time, or wood, to at least not shatter to smithereens... ;) 
 NB>> Very familiar prospect...  ;)

 RH> I think we're all members of that circus.

At one time or another, anyway...  :)
