I Never Took Notes. . .

I never took notes, so I'm sure I'll miss something.  I'll try and remember the main things, anyhow. 

I'm very glad that a/c's are all working, and that lawyers are finding solutions.  And that brothers are back home -- with power.  But I'm sad that bosses seem to be making dumb decisions, and that some of you still have horrible heat -- and earthquakes?!?!  Yikes!! 

My tree topper is called Emil mainly because when I was little I couldn't say Angel, plus, we actually did have an "Uncle" Emil, who was a good friend of my parents. I got the cord all ready to take to John, and then went and forgot it on the kitchen table.  Guess it will wait till next week. . . 

My computer seems to have recovered from whatever fit it was having the other day.  I just hope it lasts for a while 'cause I sure can't afford another one right now. 

I finished reading "Infamous" by Suzanne Brockmann.  Took me until 2 a.m.  Once I got the hang of the ghost speaking as "I", and figured out how she jumped back and forth between the ghost's past and the H and h's views, it was actually all combined, and made a very interesting story.  Once I got to the last few pages, though, I was a little disappointed as the explanations of how everything fell together seemed to go on and on.  Usually an author will wrap a story up so fast your head spins, but this ending dragged. 

Now I'm reading Shadows from the Past by Lindsay McKenna.  I almost took it back to the library without reading it, but now that I've actually started, I think it's going to be okay.  It's the story of Morgan Trayhern's adopted daughter.  I read all McKenna's Morgan's Mercenaries books a few years ago, and enjoyed them -- most of them.  I didn't enjoy the one where his wife was kidnapped and raped, so that set me off her for a while, but I think this one will be okay. 

Donna, those pictures of Bryce Canyon are fabulous!  I love the colors, and the formations!

Now for the really good news (saved the best for last).  I had my 3-month checkup at the Dr's yesterday.  He is very, very impressed with how I've done this last while.  My hbA1c (three-month blood sugar average) has come down to 6.7 from 8.4, so it's right where it should be.  I've lost 15 lbs, plus my blood pressure is down to 110/70 from 130/84.  I feel better, I actually have the energy to do stuff, and my eyebrows have started growning back. 

Hopefully I didn't forget too many things. . . 

My grandkids are here for a sleep-over, so I'd better start figuring out what to feed them for supper.  Hmmmm, lasagna sounds good & I think I've got everything I need.
