Yeah... Been in a little funk over here. This one was made worse when I started staying up later and later into the night and sleeping half the day away or more. I wasn't able to work my way back, so yesterday I just stayed up all day and went to bed at a reasonable hour.

I'm going to mow the lawn today, even though it's only 49 degrees now. I'd love to wait until Saturday when it's 70 degrees, but I really shouldn't let it grow another 2 days before I get to it.

Hopefully I can get back on track now that I woke up before 10AM.

On a Prednisone high for the past 2 weeks. Once I start weaning down I'll be depressed, tired, anxious and glued to the couch unless I start taking tranquilizers.

Made the mistake of reading up my dx. Maybe what I accessed was an old version of the Merck Manual, but the 5-year survival rate they quoted (80%) is even worse than the cancer survival rate (90%).
But based on other people's symptoms, all of the minor stuff has ALREADY happened to me, and I live with it. So AFAIK there are only a few important things to pay attention to, kidney failure and infection being top of the list.

So if I mind the important stuff, I'll take my treatments, and just keep on keeping on

And since I haven't formally started the heavy duty infusions yet I'm taking the oppty to do as much yardwork as possible.

It occurs to me, BRENDA and SIX, we need to build more enjoyment into our lives.

I, personally, enjoy making progress on yardwork. Dear daughter loves to go out to have fun. Hubby enjoys working in the garage and feeling useful.

Everyone needs something.

We all should plan on something nice at least once a month with people we like to be with. Life is stressful enough.

Good luck with your treatments.

Glad to hear none of it is keeping you down.

Tomorrow I intend to go to this landscaping place that sells bulk mulch and take a look at what's available and get 5 bags of planter box mix. Saturday I'll be working in the backyard with daughter and the dog will be roaming around with us. Sunday, assuming my energy holds out, I hope to finish the curbside weeding in prep for grading and papering it over.

Groceries in the rain???

Sounded like a good day for working indoors!

Anything adjustable on it after the fact?

I HATE hanging anything like that. Even picture frames, really.

I won't allow anything to be done that I don't feel is perfect, so when I hang stuff it ends up taking about 10 times longer than it probably should since I'm not prone to committing to something unless I know it's going to be perfect.

My aunt really benefited out of that back when she got the furnishings for her new apartment. I went over there and spent a day hanging about a dozen paintings and a super large clock on her wall. When she came back from work, there was only one piece that was a decorative bit of metal with a small mirror in the center that she wanted just a bit higher than I had put it. Fortunately, the piece was made in such a way where the old nail hole is completely invisible under it.



Me? I don't hang anything on my finished work. I haven't even hung blinds or drapes, instead choosing to use contact paper on the windows which can easily be removed for privacy.

But when I start working on my bathroom I'm going to have things like this to figure out. It's a pretty big house, but the two bathrooms are pretty tiny. In order to make the most of the space in there, I'm going to need to get creative.

I think I'm actually going to be doing electrical work in there too. For starters, there's no ceiling vent fan which is a problem that even my walls in the hallway outside are all too aware of. There is also only one outlet next to the light switch, and any modern bathroom should have more receptacles than that. But I also think I'm going to add electric for LED lighting in there while I'm at it. One for a photo-sensitive night light, and another with a door switch that will light up the medicine cabinet when the door is opened, like a fridge.

But I'm going to have to hang a shelf above the switches to replace the cheap IKEA crap I put up there years ago and can't do without as well as the over the toilet cabinet with hand towel pole. I think I'm also going to add something similar but open on the back side of the door so I can put things on that and also have a nice pole that is a distance away from the painted door for my bath towel.

All of this needs to be perfectly straight and centered in the perfect positions. It's going to be a massive project when I get to it.

Well, it turns out I was wrong. Got a call this morning from the lady who heads the group, so I am playing this afternoon.

You can't play any of the games going unless you are a member of the group.

Car's finally legal now, so I just have to wrap up what I'm doing with the old one before I let her go. Ran some errands after that and then mowed the front lawn before the sun went down.

Going to have to get the back done tomorrow for sure. I'll probably get the A/C uncovered while I'm out there. Maybe spray for some weeds too.


Oh... maybe not. Just looked at the weather and we've got some early thunderstorms in the forecast. Damn. Might have to put that off until Friday.

That's fine. Got plenty of other stuff backlogged that needs doing.

Anyone play checkers? Scrabble? Bridge? Rummy?
And how does one become a member? Invitation only?

Going to shower up and watch me the rest of the Fallout TV show.
