IN THE MIST OF CHOOSING COLLEGES.......
1.  IN MY SENIOR YEAR I AM SERVING AS WRITTING EDITOR OF THE YEARBOOK.
2.  I HAVE MADE THE HORROR ROLE EVERY SEMESTER.
3.  I PROLIFERATE WITH ENGLISH COURSES.
4.  I WANT TO BE FULLY BILINGUAL IN THREE OR MORE LANGUAGES.
5.  I CAN READ, SPEAK, AND WRITE GREEK FLUENTLY.  MY OTHER TWO SPORTS ARE TENNIS AND VOLLEYBALL.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY GET MORE RAIN TODAY,  WE COULD USE IT.  TEMPS HOVERING AROUND 70.

HOLLY........SORRY TO HEAR YOU ARE NOT UP TO PAR.  YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY.  ITS AMAZING HOW MEDICINE HAS IMPROVED DURING OUR LIFETIME.  I AM SURE YOU WILL BE HOME SOON AND GETTING INTO YOUR USUAL PURSUITS.

JUDY......I MADE STEAK SIMMERED IN SAUCE YESTERDAY.  IF YOU WANT A DELISH STEAK THAT'S TENDER, TRY SIMMERING IT IN TOMATO SAUCE FOR 2 1/2 TO 3 HOURS.  MMMMM GOOD.  I USED WOME LONDON BROIL FOR THIS ONE.  SERVED WITH LINGUINE.  I HAVE ENOUGH FOR LEFTOVERS TO ENJOY TODAY.
WHEN HOWARD GOES TO THE VA FOR HIS APPTS, DOES HE AND THE OTHER GUYS GET TOGETHER AND CHAT AND PASS THE TIME TOGETHER.  IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO TAKE THE WAITING I THINK.
HOW NICE YOU MET SOMEONE YOU COULD TALK ABOUT OLD TIMES WITH AT PT.  A GOOD WAY TO PASS THE TIME.

CHERYL.....I NEVER REALIZED BEFORE WHAT A PATIENT WENT THRU BEFORE HE GETS WELL WHEN FIGHTING THIS DISEASE.  ITS A LONG, TIRING STRUGGLE.  I AM SURE YOU ARE BOTH EAGER TO SEE THE END OF IT.  BLUE SKIES AHEAD FOR YOU BOTH.  GIVE DEAN OUR BEST WHEN YOU SEE HIM AGAIN.

TALKED WITH MY INSURANCE PEOPLE.  SHE HAD AN ACCENT BUT WE MANAGED AND SHE WAS SO GOOD ABOUT HER JOB.  I NOW KNOW WHAT THE COSTS WILL BE FOR ME WITH 3 DIFFERENT BLOOD THINNERS.  ITS DOABLE.  I HAVE A $600 DEDUCTIBLE BEFORE I GET THE COSTLIER TWO MEDS AT A SMALL COST.  THE COUMADIN/WARFARIN THOUGH WOULD COST ME NOTHING.  OF COURSE THERE IS THE TESTING ONE MUST GET DONE OR DO ONESELF WHICH MEANS MORE WORK, BUT IF ONE HAS TO HAVE AN OPERATION OR A TOOTH REMOVED, THE WARFARIN TAKES A SHORTER PERIOD OF COMING OFF THE MEDS SO ONE CAN DO THE JOB SOONER.  SIDE EFFECTS, TOO, MAY BE LESS OF A PROBLEM WITH WARFARIN.  I SHALL DISCUSS ALL THIS WITH MY CARDIOLOGIST ON THE 14TH.

I SORTED MY PILLS FOR THE WEEK.  GOT ANOTHER BOOK OUT OF MY STORAGE SO I CAN READ.  WILL TRY TO GET OUT OF MY APT FOR SOME PUZZLE WORK TODAY.  MY CHORES ARE JUST A FEW AND THE PILL SORTING IS ALREADY DONE.  ITS GRAY OUTSIDE, LOOKING LIKE RAIN THO THE THE CLOUDS MAY MOVE FURTHER INLAND.
STAY SAFE.  ENJOY YOUR LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND.  YUP, ITS LABOR DAY ON MONDAY.  
HUGS FOR YOU ALL, QB S
