Daily Notes 02-08-2007
Hello everyone. I hope you are all well.
Ken had an MRI yesterday. He won’t find out the results for a couple of days, but the surgeon decided he wanted to see just what he was dealing with in Ken’s belly. I will keep you all updated. He’s supposed to have whatever it is removed next week sometime. The initial diagnosis was that it’s a lipoma which is a benign fatty tumor, but I’m thinking the surgeon doesn’t really KNOW what it is and has decided he needs to c-h-a (cover his a$$). I’m really concerned over the amount of pain he seems to be in from this thing. That just doesn’t sound *benign* to me.
Talked to Eddie the other day. The movers are coming today to begin packing them up. They will leave Monday for our house, spend a couple of days with us, then go on down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and a friend’s wedding. Am looking forward to seeing them and Randy.
No answer from Gina on sizes, etc for the kids. Ken and I are prepared to shop this weekend, though, if we get the necessary information. We want to be “good” grandparents.
Got the news today that we are set to go ahead with an upgrade to our SQL server to SQL 2005. I’m kind of excited! We have a deadline of 4/23 to have it installed, upgraded and running. Fortunately, it isn’t only me that will be working on the project, but we will use an outside contractor to help do a lot of the work. They have already done 20 or so of these, so I have a lot of confidence in their ability. We have already talked about how we will do it and I have begun working on cleaning the data that we’re going to have to move over to the new server.
What about this crazy weather??? The weather report yesterday said our high was supposed to be 55, but when I got in the car last night, it said it was 70 and felt it! Not that I’m complaining as I LIKE 70 degree temps, but I had left all the dogs in as I thought it was supposed to be cold. I put them out this morning and I know it was 34, but it feels pretty warm right now, so I suspect they’re enjoying the spring-like weather as much as I am.
Charlotte called me last night. I swear — that poor woman LIVES a soap opera! Now her daughter’s ex-husband has committed suicide! Did the deed with a double-barrelled shotgun. I can only imagine how awful that was. Charlotte and Deni were having to clean it up!!! YUCK! I told Ken that if he ever decided to do away with himself he had to find a method that was NOT messy! He looked at me rather strangely and informed me that doing away with himself was not going to happen as he liked breathing too much. I breathed a sigh of relief.
How about that nephew of mine, Colin?? The awards just keep pouring in for his Crystal! I’m so proud of him!
Well, I reckon I’ve rattled on enough for one day. I need to get back to the grindstone.
Take care!
Love to all,
Margaret

You’re way too kind to my work! Thanks for the kudos though — I’ll take all of that I can get!
The “major award” — an HP 475 printer — arrived Tuesday. I haven’t yet cracked the seals on the box, as I’m still trying to figure out exactly what I might do with the little beastie. Our dog trainer friend wants me to start shooting in her classes, and that printer would give me a way to run proofs on the spot. That’s a cool idea, so I might just give that a run, too.
Of course, there’s always the idea of selling it, and turning that into a bigger, better printer. The step up from my Epson — the 2400 — is a terrific printer, and one I used at DLWS in Yosemite. With its K3 inks, it’s just about the best thing going out there. Of course, Epson just released the 3800, which is another $400 above the 2400……
Does it never end?!?!?!?! 🙂
