Click on this website. This is so good, even Judge Mary asked that I post it. For those who have forgotten, Mary was the Chief Administrative Law Judge for the State of Arizona in the Department of Real Estate.
Mary news:
Mary reports our home scale shows more than a pound weight loss. Now, that isn't much but it is certainly better than no change or gaining more weight. Yeah!!! The hepatologist asked her to limit her salt intake to 2,000 mg per day and Mary is attacking that with a vengeance. We have charts, graphs, reference books, computer internet connection, weigh scales and a log book active in the kitchen. Last night's total for the day was 1,200 mg so Mary agreed to an after dinner--but small--dish of ice cream. I had to read labels to find the one with the least sodium content but we found what she wanted.
Mary is also feeling good enough that she is heading to Stanford today alone. She has been out and about driving in Los Gatos and the trip to Stanford is truly a simple drive, albeit a touch longer than going to LG. Its four turns to get on the freeway (Hwy 85), one freeway to freeway interchange (I-280), one freeway exit (Sand Hill) and then three turns into the parking garage at Stanford. Very simple, she should be more than ok.
Other News:
Bill is likely to come home today with his newly inserted stent. We certainly hope his recovery is quick and any discomfort is minor. Go Bill!
I am on the 24 hour heart monitor and I get to rip it off at noontime when the 24 hours is done. Yeah!! Its really not a big deal EXCEPT they wouldn't let me take a shower. I feel inhuman.
My next door neighbor reports the deer are getting pretty bold down in the creek. Tim reports, "Last week, I stayed home a couple days...and just after lunch my son and I found a large buck sleeping up against the creekside fence; he awoke shortly after and walked off once he realized we were in the area. That creek comes alive at night, though; if you shine a bright light down there well after dark, lots of eyes looking back at you."
Yeah, we had one of those sets of eyes in the garage trying to eat the dog food supply earlier this week. I didn't report it then because Comcast was on the top of my mind. One evening, I put Mary to bed and went out to the TV room to do a little email. I heard a loud noise like Idjit Dawg had just pulled over a trash can or something but as is a guy's prerogative, I continued to work on my email (which probably looked to the casual observer like I was sleeping). I then heard a really large metallic noise and thought, "Ah ha! Idjit Dawg is attacking the large trash can in the utility room." At that point I stood up and nearly crushed Idjit Dawg who was sound asleep at my feet. So too was Shauna. OK, plan B! I realized the noise was much closer and likely from the garage. So I opened the door into the garage and found one of our two dog food storage cans had fallen from the shelf and was rolling around on the floor with the top removed. I never did see the creature but if it had been skunk, I would have smelled it. I am assuming raccoon. We now make sure the big garage door is closed at dusk.
