    Miscellaneous Dinner Note:  She didn't eat a lot of dinner, which is unusual; she usually finishes it. I don't think this was a failure of appetite, though. She was highly distracted by this evening's Cosby Show Marathon on the TVLand channel that I taped at her request. As well, she really dug into her ice cream. Wanted to make a note of this, though, just in case her appetite is getting ready to change, a bit.
