====================
Hi There Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Hope so too. I'm doing a lot better than I was a couple of weeks ago;
-> -> the cough is the exception to that. Between albuterol and a cough
-> 
->  hn> She seems to be better so I'm hoping!
-> 
-> When is the next long break? If you can get her away for some R&R soon,
-> it would help.
-> 
Spring break for her is the last week of this month.
I am doing some plotting and planning on taking
her away for a few days...we'll have to see how it 
works out. Last time I did that was when my knee
"went" and has not been the same since! There
is also the chance she may need to go back to 
NY to deal with more estate issues...but so far
I am still looking at plans for escaping for a day
or so.

-> -> I need a good 8 hours, more if I'm not feeling well. I have to use my
-> -> Advair about 7:30 every morning so have an alarm set for that (also
-> 
->  hn> I generally stay up after Anne has gone
->  hn> to bed. Last night I went to bed at the
->  hn> same time she did (9pm) and woke up
->  hn> at 0330...ah well, got up and did some
->  hn> cooking and computer stuff.
-> 
-> Our house has the disadvantage of having cooking smells go thru the vent
-> system. It's not so bad in our bedroom but in the bathroom off it, I can
-> smell if Steve is cooking something. It usually has a strange smell so
-> he's now lighting an odor absorbing candle beforehand if he wants to
-> cook before I get up.
->
LOL ours does not have that good a 
ventilation system! 
 
-> ->  hn> Today we have partly cloudy, 44F
-> ->  hn> and some sun breaks, a nice day.
-> ->  hn> Weather mand says the next 10 days
-> ->  hn> are going to be ALL rain.
-> 
-> -> And we will get it eventually. Had some rain Sunday night with a minor
-> -> tornado touch down not far from here.
-> 
->  hn> Rain...we got rain....lots of rain....
->  hn> for the next 10 days or so...rain
-> 
-> We had light rain last night and a fair amount today. Steve put some
-> gutters up during the day yesterday; hopefully it will solve several
-> problems. I think all the rain has blown off but it has cooled down
-> again. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the upper 50s.
->
We had more rain in the last three days
than we did in the whole of February! 
BIG winds yesterday as well! When I
was driving home from Seattle (worked
at the ballpark) I was watching a jet
coming in for a landing at Boeing Field.
the Wind was so strong it was pushing
the tail of the jet 10-20 feet out of 
"line" with the runway!! Looked like 
the jet might have to land almost 
sideways!!
 
-> -> up the day's dishes. Steve made an angel food cake and pastry cream 
last
-> -> night; he combined the 2 with strawberries and blueberries into a
-> -> trifle after supper tonight.
-> 
->  hn> And you caught me with a cup of
->  hn> assam again!  It's a nice midday
->  hn> sort of drink for me.
-> 
-> That's when I'm pushing water if I'm at home. Tea and orange juice are
-> for the morning, sometimes sweet tea at lunch but rarely supper.
-> Chocolate soy milk is usually the supper time drink.
->
8am here today, so I'm having coffee.
Tea will be later in the day.
-> 
-> -> -> A lot of nights Steve works late, until 12 or later if he's pushing a
-> -> -> project thru. I need more sleep than that.
-> 
->  hn> Anne's the same way. I can function
->  hn> on a lot less than she can. If she does
->  hn> not get enough sleep she's "woozy"
->  hn> all day long.
-> 
-> I'm not at my best some days, other days I don't notice it that much.
-> But a good night's sleep is helpful for the aches and pains--I don't
-> feel them if I'm asleep. (G)
->
I had a pretty active day at the
ballpark yesterday, lots of running
around and going up and down
stairs as well...so my knee was 
complaining all night long!!
I don't know if I felt them when
I was asleep, but they may have
woken me up a lot!
 
-> -> We seem to average about midnight for getting to bed. Steve has no
-> -> classes this week so he sleeps in until about 7:30, me, later.
-> 
->  hn> I hardly ever sleep in past 5 or 5:30...if I
->  hn> do Scuppers will let me know about it!! (grin)
-> 
-> That's the way my parent's dog is. They let him sleep inside during the
-> winter but during the day he likes to sleep outside on a snow bank.
->
Scuppers is much more genteel than that.
He likes something soft and warm under
him! He WILL sleep right over a heater vent
though!!
 
-> ->  hn> Phonetically I was spot on though!
-> 
-> -> depends on if you pronounced it with a hard or soft C sound.
-> 
->  hn> I can't think of any (off the top of my head)
->  hn> that END in a soft C sound. can you?
-> 
-> Got to think about that one.
->
Let me know if you get one...oh
and frame it in the form of a 
question! (grin)!
 
-> ->  hn> got a big red tarp hiding everything. I suppose I
-> ->  hn> could walk all the way out there and peek behind
-> ->  hn> the curtain.
-> ->  hn> Long walk though!
-> 
-> -> You will find out soon enough, opening day isn't that far away.
-> 
Actually got the chance to go down there
yesterday...not sure of what all is going in
down there, but so far there's gonna be
a crepe place, a "hamburg$Frites" place
and something TORTUGAS...at least that
is what the first part of the sign says...
still pretty mysterious at this point!

Will show you a lot of what's offered...but
it has NOT been updated for this year...at 
least not yet!

->  hn> AMEN!!
-> 
-> Getting your mind set for hot dogs with all the extras? I know, you
-> can't eat on the job, but isn't that the smell of the ball park?
-> 
I love the smells...except for
the garlic fries...they can be abit
overpowering...they have a LOT 
of garlic on them!!
chat with you soon!
