golly, it's another week that's almost gone

Hello all !!!

"another" strain of flu is approaching, just tonight, channel 11 reports still there is yet another flu approaching us, and I'm wondering why this is happening, too much travel, and, dr gerber from the public health dept says "all flu vaccine is given free to "all" flu clinics and was "meant" to be administered for free, but individual companies, clinics, may charge an "administrative" fee to give it, figure that one !!!!!

so, my tooth, still my tooth, i had 2 root canals and the doc just can't deaden the third nerve of the trunk after weeks of shots, lots of shots...so, it's to an endodontist i'm being sent !!!

more news ! my dreaded melanoma has returned, this time on my outer left leg, had a biopsy and it was positive, so now further sugery to remove the spot, the margins, and also check the lymph nodes nearest, which are my left groin, so...ankle surgery must be delayed, until this is completed and i've healed, suppose to see the ortho m.d.on the 28th, melanoma surgery is scheduled for Oct 26, unless my regular derm can work me in sooner, won't know that till she gets back from vacation also on the 28th, so, it's "all" up in the air tonight !!!!!
just call me, Ms Adaptable !!! i'll go with the flow on this one, i think !!

Made chop suey for supper tonight, and Lauen wanted to know why it's called that, and i must confess, i've been making it for years, and i don't have a clue why its called that...what is suey???? According to Wikipedia, my favorite this is what they say: " mixed" pieces of any type of meat, bound in a starch thickend gravy, popular in American, Canadian and Indian cuisine, as in India...not the american indian...
and, we really enjoyed it, Lauren had never had it before,I think her mother isn't big on cooking from scratch, just in pre cooked and take out foods, so she enjoys it when she's here, though she is 12 and is reluctant to admit it...

Are you enjoying the fall season on T.V.? it's started and mostly the same old stuff, lots of dr. shows, cop shows, but letterman has had 2 presidents on this week, andboth have been very good, and i've sure taken to the Bonnie Hunt show, in fact, joined her website and record her show andwatch itquicker each day...she's a former oncology nurse, from chicago, and really down to earth, i think...

have you missed me this week? i've missed you, but some days just aren't interesting enough to write....now, for money, i'll entertain, but, gosh mostly my life is boring, boring, boring, and i'm pretty broke, but now, tomorrow, Friday, i'm going to Wallace school for grandparent day and breakfast with Christopher and then to his class room for a while, then i'm meeting my friend, Virginia for lunch, which will be just great !!!! then, the week end looms, and I have not a plan in site,not yet anyway, would like to see a movie or two, but who knows??????

for tonight, though, its time to say good night, and God Speed to all !!!!! My friend, Lynn, has decided to limit her computer time, feels it's taken over her life, as for me, i do keep it in balance, don't spend as much time as i use to on it, and so i enjoy it....oh, and my friend, Sherry, not me, another Sherry that you don't

know, lives in Indiana, sent me a copy of her book, she wrote it, "Angel With Redbird Wings" and it is wonderful and i thank her very much for writing and sharing it with me....She is also a nurse, and a very loving, outgoing woman, very strong in her convictions, which all of my friends are, i'm proud of that !!!

So, good night for now, will write again in 2 days, count em !!!!
