Last night we went to the Honors Program at my daughters' high school... she went up on the stage to get awards at least 7 times!... I lost count. Beta club, Key club, Cheerleader, Yearbook staff, Honor Roll, all A's all year, I can't even remember all the stuff she got! She's also a healthy, smart, kind, beautiful Redhead. I can't even believe I helped "beget" someone like that!
(proud Papa, can ya tell?)
Yay! That's really boss. Y'all have a great time today. This only happens for her once in a lifetime. That's one special girl. So hard to keep up with all of that good stuff in today's world.
Another reason to smile today.

I have a downer to post but I am pretty upset. My 93 yr old Mother-in-law, who has been living in an independent living apartment for 2 years, a real go getter, don't mess with me, kind of woman who I have admired since I first met her, fell a few weeks ago. She just had eye surgery and had "floaters", one of which she thought was a bug and in trying to stomp on it, fell. Xrays showed nothing, they said she had siatica and to rest. Well, it didn't get better and she is basically alone;she doesn't socialize with others in the facility. She does not like "old people" (they die on her) and being the only Jew in the place, it was hard (DH and I were not involved in the decision to move her there, long story and this is long enough already).
Not getting better, the brother who lives near by took her back to the Dr. They did an MRI, found fractures in her pelvis. She got a rehab nurse, but being diabetic, was not eating or drinking. She was hospitalized yesterday to get her back in shape, then to rehab and then assisted living.
I am sure you all know where this will go. I have never heard of a person this age bouncing back to health from something like this. So how long? Who knows. From the vibrant, outgoing, strong woman I love, to a withering sad woman I still dearly love. We will spend as much time as we can with her, but with work and travel it is hard.
Sorry for a long downer post, but I needed to vent and I don't know of a better place than with my compassionate, loving friends.
On a good note, Geordi's breeder is a nurse at the hospital she is in, so she will check on MIL and keep us posted on any details we may miss. Chris is an ER nurse so not privy to everything, but she knows people who are.
I has a sad
Costco sells microfiber towels that I buy about once a year. I find they don't work as well once they're washed so instead i just toss em when they get too dirty. Always remember that they hang onto dirt so you don't want to use a "dirty" one to clean you glasses or other lenses.

Well, my wife took off work today and I didn't schedule any service calls.
The HS graduation ceremony is Saturday morning, and we have a party planned for the afternoon. The party is at the semi-permanent campsite of the parents of Hannah's best friend, on Whitewater Creek - a very nice, shady spot w/ several campers set up, a couple of party sheds right on the creek, and a newly installed "ladies room" - complete with a flush toilet and a 55 gallon drum septic tank.
Today Mrs. Uman is making veggie & fruit trays, party decorations, banners, balloons, etc. I'm going to town to collect for a finished job, then to the Creek to mow, trim, set up my audio gear, and generally clean up and prepare. Then I'm off on a two hour drive to spend the night with Mom, and drive her up here in the morning by 10 am. to the graduation, then to party, then back to her home... whew!
I'm gonna be a busy bee for the next ~48 hrs.
well lemme grab my hatchet and I'll help ya!
I'm on it!!LMAO! At this point, that might not be a bad idea... I'd need a darn good excuse to justify buying yet another phone!
She usually goes off-line when she is getting chemo.*wanders 'round da porches, stopping to check on our Little Birdie's coffee cup and fluffs her seat cushion*
Hmmm... doesn't look like this has been used in a while...
Anybody seen @LittleBird flitting around here lately? I hope that all is well with her.
I've been meaning to call her for awhile now and keep remembering it at like 2 am or sumpthin, so when I saw your post I thought, I'm doin it now! She's in SC just to relax and enjoy. @Kenna gits a whoopin for not tellin us that hehehe She's fine, she just wanted to get somewhere peaceful and have some birdy time. No more chemo til the end of June. yay!!Anybody seen @LittleBird flitting around here lately? I hope that all is well with her.
Chemo is no fun and makes you feel really crummy, my Bride is halfway through her current 2 week cycle right now. It's hard to watch someone you love go through this stuff.
Jup! and Yw!It's hard to watch someone you love go through this stuff.
She's been on my mind a lot, so I'm glad you reminded me at an appropriate time to call 
My last phone would go 4-5 days between charges. This one needs to be plugged in by lunch time, and again before bed...
