What wonderful news to come back and read. Big conratulations from up north . I'm going to predict boy just to be different. If I'm wrong it will be the first time, but I'm OK with that. Someones gotta cheer for the underdog .

I have pneumonia, which is why I've been absent. I'm just getting some energy back now, and it isn't reliable. Yes, I've been taking as good care of myself as I can, given the fact I've got much to do right now.

I lost 8 lbs, just because I've not been hungry or eating much at all. My appetite is beginning to return now, so I suspect that weightloss will come to a screeching halt.

Not much else to say, except that I've had LOTS of water, and now that I'm eating again I'm trying to consume more vegies.

Tomorrow I go for my yearly medical. Joy!(tongue in cheek)

Time for breakfast, cereal this morning. Chicken noodle soup for lunch with real chicken. Leftover roast beef supper with vegies and fresh yorkshire pudding(and gravy of course ).

Phones ringing....
