It's been quiet!
I haven't posted anything for the past few days as life has been quiet for me. I've completed the downstairs room renovation project so it will probably be some time before I tackle the next project.
I must admit that I really feel full of energy and having work to do is a great way to expend it. According to my wife, she says that it is the prednisone that I am taking. She may be right because over the past few months I would get tired during the day and have to stop for breaks while I was working. That's no longer true.
The eyes seem to have stabilized. The drops are still very necessary but I can survive very nicely in that fashion.
Tomorrow it is another granddaughter's birthday party. It should be fun.
Life is going on the way that it should...

What a pain!
I already wrote this once and the blog site lost it before it was published!
Today is primary day in New Hampshire whicout one of the best aspects of New Hampshire politics. That is, when you go to the polls you actually get to meet, greet, talk, and see who the candidates are. And not just those for the local offices but for the statewide ones as well. When we lived in Massachusetts and New York, these people were just prople you saw on television wno chance to ever see them in person.
At the polls, they were running a bone marrow registration drive. One of the women manning the table was overjoyed that she has recently been called upon to be a donor. And well she should be. By the way, these people have registered well over 37,000 people with 45 of them being called upon to man three times!
It all started when the cousin of one of the women at the table was diagnosed at the age of one and given a 1 on 20,000 chance of surviving. Today he is four years old and doing well.
Talk about miracles...

A pot-pourri!
On Saturdayy mother-in-law's Greek church which a lot of family to enjoy the food and dancing att their annual "Glendi". But the real cuase for celebration was the announcement earlier in the day that one of my nieces was engaged to be married. With all that has gone on in the family over the past few years, we are more than deserving of having an event like this to celebrate.
On Sunday, it was a lesser event, but a cause for celebration and enjoyment as well as my five year old granddaughter played her first soccer "game". She was pretty aggressive and scored her team's only goal. Another milestone as life moves on for all of us.
Today I received a letter from a group of Nortel people who are currently banding together to counteract Nortel's desire to terminate the program fact, in Canada, a year end termination date is already in place. For me, with a maximum of 7+ months left, my interest is limited to that timeframe. After that, I'm off the books. But I offered to help them if I could be of any service. One other little sidelight. Today was the first time ever that my wife and I were the only two in the theater watching the movie. I'm sure that many others of you have experienced it as well.
What about my eyes, you ask? With all the drops and ointments the level of discomfort has diminished(as was obviously intended). The important thing, however, is to continue taking the medication so that improvement continues. As for everything else, healthwise, I feel great. At times during the summer, I would feel tired during the day and have to stop and take a break - no longer! For a while, also, I would awaken in the morning with aloints aching - no longer! My current medicatio seems to be doing the trick.
Life is picking up and I'm right there with it...
