sorry I've been remiss in responding to y'all... it's just that on this borrowed computer, I don't get much time.

seems I read slowly these days...



Sarah, happy happy birthday, Lady !! congrats for making it through another year, with grace, love, and hugssssssssssssssss... lol !

Spitfire, good on ya, glad this doc takes time to explain... many don't bother, and when they do, they either go too fast, or use words we aren't familiar with.

NaeNae, prayers for the job hunting to go well, and yield you employment that is fiscally rewarding, not stressful, and satisfying to your mind and heart.

that's a lot to ask, but it's *everything* you deserve, so I put it in the prayers.



Weaver, Joelle, Julie, Angel, Kelly, and DiM, glad to "see" you around, and hope to see MUCH more of yas !!

Finny, we cut back on the coffee too... one small mug each morning, with a big dollop of milk, and off we go... for me, it's not the heated beverage, as we have our cups at dawn, when it's cool, and the milk cools it to "drink in four gulps" level...

my problem was the false burst of energy given by 2 or more cups, which led me to trying to MOVE too fast (good way to get injured!) or overdoing things under the wrong impression that I've got loads of ooomph.

so, 2 cups leads to CRASH 'n' BURN by 10 am, flat on my face in bed.



Vonn, peek a boo, I see you !!

Barb, keep it up, you can DO it... and remember, "Slow and steady wins the race."

my update-thing-a-ma-jigger-dealie-bopper:

the capacitors arrived from California, DD used hideously expensive international airmail... and my beloved eMac is now THOROUGHLY disassembled on the kitchen table.

mi esposo soldered in the caps, but ALAS, there's three MORE bad caps, in the power supply, and they're HUGE ones...

so, he just left for a little tienda he recently discovered, a dude who repairs VCRs and TVs and stuff... seems the guy has a big ol' JUNK pile of pieces and parts, so my honey is gonna spend a bunch of time searching through for matching, and hopefully FUNCTIONING parts.

this is good for two reasons, first, it means *I* get to use his computer (in peace) while he's gone, and secondly, maybe this will fix my computer, as the withdrawals are agonizing, lol !!

oh the agony, acme pc repair on the way

good day everyone how yall doing,

just a wee bit warm out more humid than anything

everyone be careful dont over do it today

oh, I just LOVE that lil emoticon !!

*kay gazes over at her darling eMac in pieces on the table, sniffle-snifetty-sniff*

and goshdarn it, I forgot to include you in my morning greetings, dude...

hey Frank ?

that blows about the UTI... I really *hate* getting them, and hope you're done with it soon.



rest, lots of fluids, and don't over-do it, or bacteria will become your downfall, thus sayeth one who surely knows... to another who ALSO knows...
