I'm feeling better today -- the fake Mylanta treatment seems to be helping. And I'm still carefully watching everything I eat. Right now it seems I need to cut out (or at least cut back) coffee -- I'm pretty much sticking to tea, which really seems to agree with me. Anyway, I felt much, much better than yesterday -- and was able to eat breakfast, ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I both slept in quite late today. It was a busy week, so it's little wonder!

After getting up I washed my hair (Marilyn had done her hair last night), and then we took a ride up the Columbia Gorge. I should download the photos I took so I can share. I didn't take a lot, but I did take a few ( Read more... )

So, Marilyn and I were going to go see a movie after work tonight. We've been planning it all week. The time rolls around and she kind of says something about '...or we could stay home and have a nap...' -- and we're both jumping right on that idea. Hahahahaha ( Read more... )

Somebody special has a birthday today! And she's 70!!! (woo hoo)

Happy Birthday, sister Sue!!!

It was FUN going to lunch (for Mexican food!!!) with you and Marilyn today, Sue. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we both did!

And I hope 2013 is a really GREAT year for you.

Happy Birthday, Sue !

(hugs)

Went to the office with Marilyn this morning. We were there by 7:30 a.m. (Marilyn had two important -- and long -- meetings), and worked until 7:00 p.m. tonight. (We did take a break to walk and get lunch at Subway -- and I went for Starbucks in the afternoon. But that was it ( Read more... )

I just felt LOUSY most of the day, today. Constantly trying to catch my breath and I had back pain and stomach pain and low blood sugar (plus a headache part of the day, too). I don't know what the problem is, but I need to get in to see my doctor, I guess. (Well, my nurse ( Read more... )

I'm actually feeling BETTER tonight. But I've been feeling crappy for the last few days, starting on Friday ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I watched the SAG Awards tonight. I cried during what we call the 'Dead-ies' portion (so many wonderful artists have passed on...). At 87, Dick Van Dyke still looks GREAT and seems more youthful than many people half his age. And I was thrilled that Daniel Day-Lewis and Anne Hathaway won! Amazing performances (that I could gladly see ( Read more... )

This will be short and sweet... (Yes, for a change!)

Marilyn and I just watched "The Iron Lady," a film that had mixed reviews -- but for which Meryl Streep won the Academy Award (Best Actress), the Golden Globe (Best Actress) and the BAFTA Award (Best Actress). This is considered one of her finest performances in her acting career ( Read more... )

Spent time today investigating the current (SERIOUS) Java issues, and discussing them with Donn. We need to address this at the office right away. Anyway, I find the easiest method to simply uninstall Java -- so I took it off my computer at home today. By the way, I'd strongly advise YOU to do the same! (Let me know if you need help doing it -- I ( Read more... )
