Monday musings

We went to Cheng's Chinese Buffet for dinner; Thomas, Lois, Diane (above), Jessica, Jenny, Jenny's boyfriend Gary, and Marcus. When we got back, Jenny and Gary went to do their thing, meanwhile Jessica mowed the grass in slightly cooler temperatures. The morning is the only cool time of day, but she's sleeping.

Diane's ear is healing -- cotton here to limit visual seeping. She's doing okay, hearing fine and in fairly good spirits. Lois is in pretty good spirits, having done another Coumadin test today and due to have another on Friday. Diane and Lois are to sew in a class on Thursday. Thomas still has a sore shoulder, which is ever-so-slowly improving -- so he says. The new house potpourri is something like IcyHot or BenGay, but generally smells strong and works weak (ly).

Marcus is still resume posting and getting poorer and poorer sleep, as well as poorer and poorer in general. After a short email from Uncle Jack, I know that Dorothy is still in pain, though on pills -- not much change or good. Weather's not, health is not -- summer 2006 is hot sweaty, smelly and in need of improvement.

Sadly, I have little chance to speak with the Orozcos, so I'm not sure how well they are doing. Johnny is set to do football practice for school -- though possible that stomach injuries will hurt greater until fully healed.

Beth's job is moving 15-30 minutes East. She has an even longer drive. She's darn-near a scenic highway to get to Fort Wayne in a much shorter time than on I-69, but that shows how far she is from her NW Indy home in Zionsville.

Today is Tuesday -- golf day, let us hope that it marks a start of GREAT HEALTH FOR EVERYONE, that Father can golf and that no one has ditch-digging duties today.
