 -> place.  We are *packed solid* in here.

 HN> (grin) happens every time you move don't it? 

Except the move to housing from the Cho.  We never filled that place.  We never

really filled the cho either, just had to get the boxes stowed in the tatami 
room cabinet.  Tiny cho kitchen though!
 
 -> honestly?  Thats more trouble than it's worth as you cant find anything
 HN> later.

 HN> It's WAY more trouble than it's worth! 

(Having them unpack the boxes).
Definately.  Books are the only thing I normally had them unpack but this time
we werent sure where to put the bookcases so just had them stack the boxes in 
the garage.
 
 -> Resting now.  Most unpacking will start tomorrow.  I'm just too beat to
 HN> do more
 -> than a little more today.  I type a bit, do a small item or so, then sit
 HN> back
 -> down.

Will do!  Thats why we stopped.  Sleeping on our GOOD bed last night was 
wonderful!

 -> The packers were really cool.  Chuckle, they even took a break just as

 -> noticed I'd been standing too long out at the truck (marking off boxes).
 -> 

 HN> Trying to get you to sit down and get outta the way? 

Naw, one of the family has to account for each numbered item as it comes off 
the truck.  There's an art to that which you gain having done it several times.
I'm so good, I can mark as fast as they can unload.

As soon as we found the good computer chair, they unwrapped that and i just sat
as needed for the rest of it.  I can't stand too long or sit too long, but by
bouncing up and down as needed, am fine enough.
 
 -> much furniture (yes they will do that for you too but it's hard when
 HN> you've

 HN> and 
 -> stuff like that in the relevant rooms).

 HN> Hmmm bed has three legs going down and one leg going up? (grin)

Yeah, but the real stumper is the exercise stationary bike.  Oh a loose end, I
took the cultech to the bike guy here along the way to get our glasses.  He's
got it in the front window being refurbished.  Bike riding on a smooth trail is
one of the few things I'm allowed and the Doc said to get back to my old habit
of shopping that way but no backpack on my back of over 10lbs.  That nearby
Harris Teeter is all residential area all the way up to it and I talked with
the
manager briefly on shopping with a backpack.  He's cool with me putting the 
stuff in to weigh it.  I'm just to stop by as I come in and warn them.  I
talked
to the bike guy and he's ordering the side mounting rearwheel cultech kit for 
baskets.  Each will hold one standard paperbag size.  They are a bit pricey
here but the bike guy as i mentioned before, is doing my work for cost of parts
so overall, I can afford the baskets.

 -> Slight break, made our bed.  Sent Don off to have a few beers with the
 HN> buddies.

 HN> I'm on a course of antibiotics for a few 
 HN> weeks ....no beers for me! Even worse, no 
 HN> wine and no scotch!!
 
Humm, been on antibiotics quite a few times.  Some are fine with alcohol.
 
 ->  HN> I really do like teriyaki salmon and halibut, very goood! I like my
 ->  HN> teriyaki sauce to be not too sweet though! 
 -> 
 CS> Same here, so when I do make it (the rare time), I used a japanese mix. 
 CS> Sold in little pouches like gravy packs (McCormicks etc). 
 CS> You add sugar to taste to those as they have none added in.

 HN> I'd love that as I could add a bit more ginger and less sugar!
 
Yes, adjust to your own needs.  Easier when they do not add salt or sugar.
One thing I dislike on many spice blends is they put salt in as the main 
ingredient so if you want a heavier seasoning, you get too much salt.

 HN> AND she's coming home for Christmas!! Arriving the 19th!!
 HN> I have only one thing to say! 
 HN> NARF!!

;-)  Have fun!
