Hi Hap,

-> Irene helped with the ones in eastern NC but didn't get them totally
-> stomped out yet. Those things are no picnic to deal with.

 HN> Nope, we get them every summer and
 HN> they are never fun!

But so neccessary for forest clearance tho! Better if man didn't
interfere but he does and makes them worse to a certain extent.

 HN> For us that IS a heat wave! Temps today up to 88 so far!
 HN> Still I'd be in tee shirt most of the time anyway..I
 HN> am sure I have some long sleeved shirts...if I could
 HN> find them! Wear socks to work..but since I've not
 HN> been working the ballpark this summer since Anne's
 HN> Cancer, I've been wearing sandals most of the time.

Sounds like what we've had but a major cool off is in sight. I do keep
socks, long sleeve shirts, snow boots, all that stuff on hand as it's
needed during the winter.

-> but haven't yet. Biggest issues holding us back are cost and where to
-> keep it when not using it, considering the lack of storage space we have
-> here.

 HN> Many folks have their generators "wired in"
 HN> like Cuz'n Burt...and run by natural gas.
 HN> But those are home owners not renters.

Doubt if our landlord would look at it ass a favorable idea tho. He's
accepted a lot of our home improvement ideas--storm doors,
guttering--but doubt that would fly with him. Save our food tho, if the
power went off. Now we'd have to find & buy dry ice.

-> -> Ian's informing us about real goulash. (G)

->  hn> That as well, he was a stickler for
->  hn> it being "proper".

-> I tried one once from the Paprika Weiss cook book. Didn't look appealing
-> (grey-brown color), taste was OK but nothing spectacular. I could do
-> better by improvisation.

 HN> He had a point up to a point...but for
 HN> those of us who like to vary from the
 HN> "flight plan" of a recipe we'd be classed
 HN> as heretics!
 HN> Which did not bother me at all as long
 HN> as the results tasted good!

Pretty much the same here. Give it a different name and all's right with
the world.


->  hn> Nope, next infusion is on Mondays again..and will
->  hn> stay with that, and Dr appt on Fridays.

-> That will work. I was supposed to see my regular doctor yesterday, eye
-> doctor next Friday. First, eye exam got pushed back to the 23rd, then
-> other appointment rescheduled for the 16th. I'm wearing the lenses I got
-> before we left HI 5 years ago so will probably go for new, and
-> computer/sewing ones as well.

 HN> We've had some of the appointments changed
 HN> to fit the Oncologist's schedule, but for
 HN> the most part we'll be infusion on Monday
 HN> and Dr on friday for the next 11 weeks or so.
 HN> Then we'll deal with the radiation folks.

At least you know what you're doing, when on those days. (G)

-> So far she's relatively comfy with this
->  hn> second round!
->  hn> Much less fatigue, but I am there
->  hn> to keep an eye on her!!

-> As well as cook all kinds of enticing meals for her. (G)

 HN> Yes...there is that as well.
 HN> But I have to eat too, so it's
 HN> not an "extra" effort!

But you're cooking more to what she wants to eat. Sounds like overall,
you're doing well as long as you make sure the pepper is out of her
portion.
