I hope this week has been much better for her, and for you. <br /><br />If you ever find yourself in a position of having to grade papers electronically, try converting each file to a PDF (both Word and Open Office have this function) and then use the PDF highlighting and annotation tools. I'm planning to try this out myself when I'm revising my novel!<br /><br />I'm off to add the Susan Hill book to my library list now!Belle Wonghttp://msbookish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-16116027617655574892011-02-11T08:20:03.574-06:002011-02-11T08:20:03.574-06:00I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, Molly....I'm so sorry to hear about your mother, Molly. Sometimes tough news can be a sort of mixed blessing and it sounds like this might force your mom to get back on the health train. I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts.<br /><br />I was SO bummed to miss my 20% coupon from HPB. Well, I got the coupon, but I was still snowed in on Saturday morning from Friday's storm and didn't make it out on Sunday because of last minute superbowl guests. Sounds like you found an awesome purchase in your HP books! I'd love to listen to them someday--when book 7 came out I read book 6 to my husband on a series of long car trips and we both loved the experience. <br /><br />Hope this week has been a good one for you. We'll be in the 60s next week--wondering if you'll get any of that warmth as well?Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-91230423988548375112011-02-10T11:47:54.151-06:002011-02-10T11:47:54.151-06:00Oh Molly, I can't even begin to imagine all yo...Oh Molly, I can't even begin to imagine all you are going through.

A couple years ago, we were struggling with something similar with my aunt, who had had a stroke and multiple heart attacks and yet who refused to take her medication and eat properly.

Yikes!<br /><br />I'm glad to hear that you don't like the grading online dealio; my son had to submit papers to something called turnitin.com, and as a teacher of elementary students I was most disgruntled because it seemed an out for the secondary teachers; they wouldn't have had to comment at all! Of course you are far too conscientious for that, and I feel your pain over all that grading effort.<br /><br />Loved Bookmobile.
