No entries forever

My god: so much dirty dishes in my sink!  eor cooked very good curry last night, and I appreciate that, but when are we going to invent food replicators and the perfect recycling units from Star Trek?  I know it depends on the same technology as transporters, and the oil industry doesn't want us to go there, but there's a real need!

Yes... I do think I've been avoiding making entries because I've been a little down.  I'm going to attempt to rectify that. 

Hawk has gone back to Seattle.  :(

Antibiotics and steroids

I forgot to mention that Hawk's ear infection did start getting better, after he was informed that he should have increased - in fact, doubled - his water intake with the antibiotics and the steroid spray for his nose.  Also, the doctor asked him if he'd noticed the meds making him irritable.  Hawk said, "Oh!  I thought that was just my family."  And he said the doctor laughed, and suddenly became much more human with him. 

But I'd never heard that about the increasing the water intake.  The things they don't tell you.  They didn't tell Eor that in ref to going under general for his ear surgery, either.  Stay hydrated!  Get hydrated!  And don't neglect to drink things other than water - too much water can throw off your electrolytes.  Those sports drinks exist for a reason.
