Bits and bites to start the day

[susandennis]

Mom is, apparently, doing okdokey. Her emails have been one-liners so far but I got a nice detailed one from Dana this morning. She says that Mom has to have injections twice a day but that she (Dana) can do them. (She used to give herself allergy shots so it's a no brainer and Mom likes it because it means she doesn't have to have a nurse there ever 12 hours.) She has to have her blood checked every morning and she's tethered to oxygen.

But, Dana, reports, the most important thing is that at 1 p.m. today - she's getting her hair washed and blow dried.

Thankgod for Dana and of course, 3,000/3/thankyoujesus!

In other news... today I can finally transfer money - online - between my American Express Financial accounts and my 1st Tech Credit Union accounts. This morning I did a transfer from 1st Tech to AE Money Market. To test. The 1st Tech thing isn't live yet - but it will be in a couple of hours - and I'm hoping that it will enable me to move money from AE to 1st Tech.

For years now the only way to do this has been by check via snail mail and I've managed - actually, it just means that I rarely use the Money Market account. I'd like to use it more to keep cash out of my easy grasp but as easily grabbed in the case of emergency. I'm anxious to test and see if what they say is what they mean...

It is so hot again. Last night I had to get out the mister and rain on myself so the ceiling fan would cool me off. It looks like it should start maybe cooling down a little today and every day and maybe we'll even have a decent weekend. I noticed last night that it is getting dark way earlier.

Sherry and Lee came by last night with goodies. Brownies with no icing - the way god intended. A thank you for a computer rescue I did for Sherry a while back. And big fat tomatoes from Lee's Mom's garden. While I love home grown tomatoes with a passion, Lee and Sherry think I'm doing them a favor by taking them off their hands. Lee's Mom plants a huge garden every year and then forces them to take home bags of tomatoes every day. They are so happy to have someone to give them to. And I am so looking forward to my tomato sandwich for dinner - polished off with brownies and ice cream. Yum. It's now 8:06 a.m. and I'm lusting after dinner. This should solve the mystery of how my ass got to be so big...

Big ass?! No way! From here you look perfect....

Our tomatoes are ripening now, too, and we love them.

good that you mom is out of the hospital and feeling better. Not that I am against a hospital stay but older people especially seem to get worse the longer they stay in them. Too many germs floating around those place...they aren't as sanitized as they should be or something.

I understand this very well. Homegrown tomatoes come in huge quantities if they come at all.

(Ours have been very slow to ripen this year.)

Huge, juicy tomatoes on white bread with mayonnaise?

Heavenly.

So glad to hear that your Mom is doing well and getting her hair done. :)

Exactly! Maybe a little salt..

I was just about to post - whew thank goodness I'm all caught up and have gotten my Susan Dennis fill and I'm glad to hear her Mom is home with Trey (and oxygen and 2x day shots but at least a hair appt!) and that tomato sammich does sound yummy for dinner....

when I hit refresh and you added another entry!!!

At this rate I'll barely get caught up ;-) - but seriously I miss keeping up with whats new with you and I'm glad I can catch up now that I'm back in front of a computer (after a computerless weekend).

Man, you must be sick of me! On the up side, I think you are getting near the end and I have real work to do so I probably won't add another update for several hours :)

I'm glad you are back at a computer, too! Pookfreak-free is not phun.
