Morning, step!  What a pleasant surprise. I'll go get started on my list. Am hoping to get lots of trash out today so I can get into town tomorrow for some much-needed grooming. Here's to a productive day for all. |

Hi lion. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm doing pretty well today, but I started too early I think. I burned out in the garden and now I want a nap.  |

Sparkle[/b], you are doing great tearing up that agenda! The wind is out of my sails after not getting too far on the phone calls. I'm not giving up, but I'm definitely slowed down. I'm also not abandoning this method yet, since it seems I always slog thru some 'false starts' before hitting my stride . . . Lion[/b], looks like you did well on your kitchen yesterday too,

Oh, step, the wind is out of my sails, too. I shouldn't have jumped right in so early this morning. That's not me. What was I thinking? I'm still trying to figure out how to make this work for me, too. Part of me likes having a list that requires no thinking. Another part says, "don't tell me what to do!" I will say that the little 'done' buttons and check marks show me that I did accomplish something after all. Surely we can figure something out. I love working with you.

Hi eagle. Good to see you. My but you've had a full day. Antibiotics? Sorry you needed them but glad you've got 'em. Darned wonderful invention. The widowers are husband of friend who died a couple months ago (I try to talk to him every couple of weeks) and husband of neighbor who died about ten days ago. That last call was very awkward and I'm not sure it was appreciated, but I felt it was something I needed to do. lion, how goes your day? I'm sorry I missed your kitchen success yesterday. I've only been skimming the boards lately. step, I also have a little section in my pantry now for things expiring soon. I've dubbed it 'use it or lose it'.  |

Hi eagle. Good to see you. My but you've had a full day. Antibiotics? Sorry you needed them but glad you've got 'em. Darned wonderful invention. The widowers are husband of friend who died a couple months ago (I try to talk to him every couple of weeks) and husband of neighbor who died about ten days ago. That last call was very awkward and I'm not sure it was appreciated, but I felt it was something I needed to do. Bless you! And I'm glad I didn't make a joke. (Having been there myself, I hesitate to joke about this, though.) The antibiotics are because my primary care physician felt that the Ampicillan I took for the tooth (remember that, 3 rounds of Ampicillan?) did not sufficiently eliminate the infection. He fears that there may have been some residual that has caused some sinus problems, which was then agrivated by the altitude changes with my recent trip to California. I won't go into the details, but he's thinking if this doesn't prevent the complications I was experiencing, he may need to order a CT scan of my sinus. |

Fantastic job, Eagle[/color]. Sorry to hear you ~still~ are needing antibiotics & all that entails. I can't take credit for that smilie--Lion found it but it sure comes in handy! More great progress, Sparkle[/color]! |
