Hi Nancy,

 NB>  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...

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


 NB>  NB>> Of course not...  That's why the calendar becomes more important
 NB> to  NB>> keep up with...  :)   The grandkid contributions are part of
 NB> what  NB>> keeps him connected, though, so they should stay up,
 NB> anyway... :)

 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...  :)

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

 NB>  NB>> That's working out well, then.  :)   Some things you won't know
 NB> unless  NB>> you try them out, I suppose.. ;)

 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... :)

Dreaming for some, saving up money for others.


 NB>  RH>> And now there are so many more energy efficient products, they
 NB> can  RH>> make an oven with the same amount of insulating value with
 NB> much thinner  RH>> materials. It allows for a larger oven capacity in
 NB> a same width stove.  NB>> True... but I've got no quarrels with the
 NB> capacity of my oven even as  NB>> it is... plenty large for what I
 NB> 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...  :)

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

 NB>  NB>> Depends, I suppose, on how much is actually procrastination, and
 NB>  NB>> how much is trying to get too many things done at once... ;)

 RH> Some procrastination, some judicious postponment, some juggling and
 RH> letting a ball or two drop...........................

 NB> And hoping that the dropped balls are either rubber, to bounce back in
 NB> when time, or wood, to at least not shatter to smithereens... ;)  Very
 NB> familiar prospect...  ;)

I think we're all members of that circus.
