Mr C continues to eat everything in sight and do most of his normal things. He is going to have a nontrivial chunk of cancer removed from his head on Thursday. The little cancer doc – the only remaining cancer doc – since the big cancer doc told Mr C byebye – will be doing the surgery in his office. Mr C will whine a little bit, but he has had this done lots of times.
After my great day of no worries yesterday – today, I started to worry about the infection that started exactly 3 weeks ago. I worry that it isn’t gone. Just hiding. Waiting to spring out again. There is something I can do. I can monitor his temperature like a mother hen.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Today’s offering will be turkey, lots of cheese and cranberry sauce on a fine buttery croissant for the patient. Turkey, a hint of cheese and lots of mustard on whole wheat pita for the caregiver.
Great fireworks last night. I didn’t begin to do them justice. Heck, I didn’t even set up the tripod. So, I can not complain.
I will complain about winter. I am tired of winter. Today to took the winter liner out of my raincoat and I stored my fuzzy bathrobe away. And my heaviest leggings have been banished to the back of the sock drawer. I’ll just be cold. Enough already, Mother Nature.
Peg,
On the scanner front,
I want to point out something you may be well ahead of. I have an older high rez scanner with bells and whistles including a not that easy to use and clunky software. (2006 Epson Perfection V700 RT) Sometimes I would spend hours carving up, straightening/rotating, and tweaking a legal size scan of old style photos.
I had a friend over who wanted to scan a big box of snapshots for a memorial service and I didn’t have this flatbed scanner set up. So we just brought out my 2013 $90, Epson WF-2540 $90 all in one printer. It’s wireless and only 8.5×11 scans. Her mac loaded up drivers off the net and was off and running. The standard latest iPhoto would auto carve 4-6 pics on a single scan into pictures and get any straightening and rotation automatically about 95%. Where it was off on a picture, she could just grab the dotted box around one of the snapshots and fix it. She would get 4 to 6 pictures at a time which moved things.
Went through a big box of pictures in about three hours and later projected these pictures onto a wall with good quality in a slide show. Point being, you may have high end desires for your pictures that don’t fit an inexpensive all in one. However the latest software and hardware really worked well with ‘good’ quality. The perfect is always the enemy of the good so I understand if you are looking for something better. I was surprised at the improvement a few years has made though.
Best wishes to you both,
Dave
