Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  HN> When I'm without Anne on a trip, I tend
-> ->  HN> to NOT do things...I get done what I need
-> ->  HN> to get done and then go back to the hotel
-> ->  HN> and stay in my room. I'll get take out food
-> ->  HN> or do a drive through at a nearby fast food
-> ->  HN> place, but not really go and "do" much.
-> 
-> -> I've been with other people--family or friends--and missed Steve but
-> -> usually been busy enough it's not been too much of an issue. Now I 
take
-> -> electronics so we can stay in touch easily too.
-> 
->  HN> When Anne is along we tend to go
->  HN> exploring more, and take walks and
->  HN> such...when I'm alone I do not tend
->  HN> to do that at all.
-> 
-> I wouldn't do it for the safety factor. Steve and I do some going off on
-> our own--the trip to the Big Island we took in 2004 was a package with
-> specific tours on specific days. We were on our own for lunch a couple
-> of those days. On the "circle island" tour, we had a good sized group
-> (needed a bus); most everybody split for the fast food joints or a
-> seafood place near our drop off/pick up point. Steve and I went into
-> town a bit further (Kona) and went to a Greek place we'd spotted on the
-> way to the drop off point. We had a good meal; the restaurant folks
-> complained about poor food, service, etc & what can you say about fast
-> food? The 2nd time we were on our own for lunch, we were dropped off at
-> the Hilo mall. By then we were down to about 8 people, us and 3 older
-> couples that came in together. They all went to McD's; we hit up a
-> Korean place.
->
I'm not talking about going out wandering around
in the dark at night...I'm talking about taking
walks and exploring the touristy places and 
such during the day. Same goes for the exploring 
for interesting food options...When I'm without 
Anne it just does not seem as enjoyable.

-> ->  HN> Yep...for her spring break we are going to
-> ->  HN> go to Sandy Eggo for a week. Touristy and
-> ->  HN> relaxing, pampering and enjoying. Sit under
-> ->  HN> a palm tree and look at the ocean.
-> 
-> -> But not AZ & baseball. Still, time with her better than no time with
-> -> her. Enjoy some CA seafood while out there.
-> 
->  HN> The Mariner's will be starting their regular
->  HN> season when we are on vacation, so not AZ
->  HN> baseball even if we had gone to AZ.
-> 
-> Oh well! I guess they're starting on the road or you would be at the
-> stadium instead of San Diego. (G)
->
They will be starting in Japan actually!
But right now, I'm watching the first
televised spring training game :-)!! 
So far we're whacking the KC royals
pretty good!
 
->  HN> So far so good..nothing major
->  HN> from the shot so far but we'll
->  HN> wait another week to be sure.
-> 
-> Better to wait and be sure than plunge in to problems.
->
Yep and being able to identify which
med is giving which side effects.
 
-> -> As long as neither one produces a delayed reaction kind of
thing......
-> 
->  HN> I figure (and the Dr agrees) that any
->  HN> thing that's going to show up that will
->  HN> carry any impact will probably show
->  HN> up in the first two weeks. The only
->  HN> exception might be "cumulative effects"
->  HN> like we saw with the radiation..but there
->  HN> is nothing we can do to prepare for that.
-> 
-> Is there that possibility?
->
Dunno...but we're taking that possibility
into account. 
 
-> ->  HN> She is being very careful, and
-> ->  HN> hopefully that will pay off.
-> 
-> -> Let's hope so but remember that bacteria and virii are sneakly little
-> -> bugs.
-> 
->  HN> Yep, but I'm keeping on top of it!
-> 
-> Handy dandy fly (and other bug) swatter?
->
Good hygiene mostly, eating right, good rest
and doing our best to stay healthy!

-> ->  HN> out today, but only one more day till
-> ->  HN> the weekend and she can rest as much
-> ->  HN> as she likes.
-> 
-> -> Which hopefully she's doing now.
-> 
->  HN> Nope today was Monday so she was
->  HN> back in the classroom!
-> 
-> It was Sunday (I think, I got behind a few days) when I wrote it. (G)
-> 
-> -> But how many kids were "accidentally late" because of the snow? (G)
-> 
->  HN> I have no idea...when she gets home I
->  HN> try to engage her in other topics!
-> 
-> Understandable, just thought she might have mentioned it.
->
I am not encouraging that currently, unless
something is bothering her...I want her to 
get as much rest as is practical. 
-> 
chat with you soon!
