Feelin' All Right !

Finally,  a couple weeks ago Carolyn's doctor prescribed her an antibiotic pack which seems to have immediately knocked out her cold, mine seems to be stubbornly leaving too.  This darn thing hit us around Thanksgiving and is now letting up.  Lot's of folks here in the neighborhood have been fighting it too.
Carolyn is having round #4 tomorrow (hopefully),  her last blood test showed the neutrophils? in her blood took a dive. She's getting shots of Neupogen to get her blood up to a normal level.  This usually does the trick.  If she can get the next two rounds in she'll get a week off before finishing.  All in all she's doing great,  gets a little tired at the end of the day and is beginning to lose her hair,  I suspect after this round she'll lose it all.
The last couple weeks have been interesting, you all have seen the devastation 1 inch of snow can do to Atlanta, what a hoot that was.  Although now we're being threatened with 1-2"  on Monday night, it's 60 degrees right now.
Not much else going on, I have some wood working projects under way.  Carolyn wants a new kitchen/dining table, so I'm modifying some plans from the New Yankee Workshop and we'll see how it turns out.  The table top will be solid Walnut, the base/legs out of poplar which will be painted.  The original lumber I picked out was absolutely beautiful stuff,  then I figured I'd better get a price.  That turned out to be over $800!  (put that back very quickly).  The stuff below was much cheaper and I think will wind up looking quite nice.  The other project is a pair of Adirondack chairs/table for the neighbors.  Won't be long before spring is here, when the weather is warm, I won't be in the basement!  :-)

Oh a couple pics of the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie, 5.7 liter Hemi!   I feel American again getting rid of that Tacoma  :)
