Sunday, Jan 4 John’s birthday, you already heard about in last week’s blog.
CPAP report. Reported figures. 7 hrs 56 min with AHI = 0.00
We finished the blog finally tonight just before dinner. I had intended to put some other stuff in on New Year’s eve, but guess I will just add to the end of the year 2014 greetings thing, when it finally does get published. It’s a nice little story about the meaning of the song Auld Lang Syne presented by Roberta Clark, one of the members of our group; in the second link we play it, accompanying her. I forgot to add to our 2014 greetings, so will add the links here:

We had a couple of telephone and email contacts for John’s birthday. Thanks for the good wishes, and for the postal cards as well.
Today, we received a call mid-day from Jeri Conklin that Daisy took a 4th of 22 in the Open Derby, at the Sahuaro Brittany Club field trial in Sonoita, AZ. That’s nice. Tomorrow is the show for the futurity, and Jeri broke a bone in her wrist, so Robin Tomasi will be showing her instead.
Tonight John made a feast of all leftovers (except for the eggs). He made a thing in the oven, with cheese, potatoes, onions, pork, chicken, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and I added Salsa to mine. Roasted cheese always seems special.

I stayed home today to work on contacting people about bills, computer problems other concerns, such as music for Thursday’s group, making an appointment in Yakima with medical supply place about my CPAP 3-month changes and additions, and for adding John to the toenail trim visit in a couple of months; it’s here in town and covered by Medicare at a foot doctor’s office and he does it, not an assistant (so that’s nice, and good that Medicare covers it).
I wrote a letter of evaluation for a former student for entrance to law school. Time-consuming but happy I’m still around to be able to help.
I worked on finishing the music plans for KV Fiddlers & Friends, and sent a reminder message about playing at Rehab this week (which later was cancelled by them because of illness concerns with the upper respiratory germs in the valley).
I’m working to finish the music repertoire additions for January, February play dates at assisted living and retirement homes: The Quilting Party, Green, Green Grass of Home, Angel Band, Heart of my Heart and Smile Awhile. I must print a master of the lyrics so I can print out copies to get John’s help in adding to the end of a combination of two packets used last year. These booklets, we give to the residents for them to follow along singing.
We had a call from Jeri that Daisy did not place in the show ring at the Futurity. Sad, as she surely looks nice to me. Thank you, Robin Tomasi (from Idaho), for showing her when Jeri’s wrist was not well with a broken bone.

Still was working on the law school evaluation letter(s). Late today, I succeeded in getting the letter through the electronic system with my signature and fake letterhead for CWU on it, submitted, and acknowledged. Phew. That was a lot of work. Nice thing is that the main Law School Admission Council in PA will take this one letter for the one applicant and provide it to the four schools where he is applying, relieving me from putting four letters into the mail, and re-writing text and addresses for each one.
I reached my service provider (Jason LaLanne at Complete Computer Services of Ellensburg & Wenatchee), and he’s helping me fix the html coding problem I am having. He will change it on their server, and it should be on line tomorrow, so I can start telling people it is there.
I spent a couple hours redoing paths on images, tidying up the text, uploaded it, and wrote him to remove the code span after
