Sunday....March 15th...2009

Much better day today....Linda felt great all day today, even with a short nap. Yesterday was a complete mystery...including the situation with the temp rising....and fears around having to go to the emergency room. A rise in temperature in an individual with a low immune system can be signs of serious infection which can give rise to a life threatening situation....Linda had reached the degree (100.5 degrees) we had been warned about for two years...and then to have it go back down....eventually to normal within two hours was most mysterious.

And then to feel great today..go figure!

We had a nice day with family..even visiting the sick son Jim and daughter in law Jenn from afar. Daughter Wendy and son in law Chris and granddaughter Taigen went back to Seattle this afternoon. Son Jeff left for Bend early am as he had to work today. So we are going home tomorrow as we have worn out our welcome with daughter Janine and with the "sickies" being sick and all.

Tonight we had a delightful dinner with Linda's friend and former classmate Claudia. She also surprised Linda by bringing Marilyn, who was also a classmate of Linda's. We had good time sharing stories and giving the restaurant folks a hard time...so much so, it seemed they were sad to see us go..so we must have been a hit. Linda feels so supported to have friends reappear after so many years and be so behind her.

The bad news......we forgot to take pictures (again).......Claudia escapes (again).....

Finally...have you tried "Facebook"?....we avoided it so long but now it is a site where we can connect with friends/folks/acquaintances we haven't seen...and to share....it is a lot of fun....and it can consume a lot of time...so good news and bad news....
.
ps...some of the possible germs Linda was up against.....

I just recently gave in to Facebook myself! Glad to have you as my online friend, besides my real life friend. You're right, though, it's a great way to waste monumental amounts of time. Had to keep myself away from the computer all weekend, so I wouldn't spend the whole day on Facebook!

Glad things seem to have calmed down for Linda. Sounds like you had a pretty stressful day Saturday. All's well that ends well, I guess. Hope you keep feeling good, Linda!

Love to you both, as always.

What good news that those nasty germs (or whatever) decided to take a hike.

I'm in the throes of trying to figure out Facebook myself. These things are such time vacuums. I spent half of Saturday filling in places I'd been on Trip Advisor. Absurdly time-consuming for those of us who still write with quill pens.

Yes, I just signed up for Facebook. So glad to hear that you are feeling better, Linda. I promise that I have washed my hands each time before posting a comment, although that purple germ looked a bit familiar.
It is a beautiful day here, so off I go to clean out the gardens. The crocuses are blooming. Love to see them after all the brown and gray around here.

Glad you got over whatever you had, Linda. Are you just trying to keep Dave on his toes??

I think I'm one of the few people who's not on Facebook... my excuse... don't really want people to find me! LOL!! :)

Hope this week is an awesome one!


Love,
Jim and Swee
