We got our first snow this morning and I watched it from the hot tub. It is 3 in the afternoon and I ate the last of my leftovers for lunch a couple hours ago. Soo, time to make a big pot of chicken soup for dinner tonight I make it full of veggies and barely room for broth. It will probably last six more meals this week if I do not share too many samples.
 

Got my vehicle back this afternoon from it's yearly clean.
Looks and smells like new inside and out......looks pretty decent for 7 years old.
Well worth the $100.
Amazing how things like breaks get dusty, just around town and sitting in the garage.
Take it easy on the break pedal now.

I've been having treatment for leukaemia for 18 months or so, backwards and forwards to University College Hospital London. Wonderful hospital can't praise them enough, got me into remission but they can't be sure that it won't return, every day is a bonus.

Car passed it's MOT, yippeee!
 
I've been out looking for black ink again for my printer. Only to Walmart tho, because that's where I bought the colored ink by mistake. It must be sitting in one of those cargo ships out in the ocean. :(

So, I went grocery shopping w/better luck.
Came home, took out the garbage cans. And then came in to my office/computer room and starting shredding some old papers from 2017. My shredder is on it's last leg....so just started tearing everything up and tossed it. 4 bags worth...so far. I'm gonna hit it again tmrw.

Made a nice 6oz piece of salmon I got at TJs w/a healthy green salad for dinner and here I am.

As the salon is in the centre of town next to all the retail stores..I had time to pick up a few other things before heading over to the hospital which is out of town.. still made it with 10 mins to spare..

Had the CT scan with contrast.. not for the first time so I knew what to expect, but afterwards they told me to wait for 15 mins in the radiology waiting room before they could remove the cannula from my arm..... I joked with them about not forgetting about me.. and they did.. it was 40 mins before they remembered and someone came and got me 😣

...because I was in radiology I had no phone signal.. so it was a long wait doing very little to pass the time but write my diary so I started practising taking selfies.. hahaha.. it's so awkward I don't know why people do this so much..

Don't worry the waiting room was entirely empty, I wouldn't have done it if anyone else had been there... 🤓🤪

Your hair looks lovely.
I was just wondering if you had to drink that contrast stuff. I had to drink a quart of it last time. When I got to the 1/2 cup, I flushed it down the commode. No one noticed.

I have practiced taking selfies and they always look awful. I simply cannot do it. I bet there are directions on youtube. Not that I'll watch. I decied that since my hair on the right side of my head is growing in more slowly than rest, that I look ridiculous. Before you ask, there is no way I'm going to cut the longer hair. We are talking, at most, about 2" long.

I take a Kindle with me everywhere (meaning medical appointments), just because of the waiting around.
 
I slept for 8 hours last night. Stayed awake for 4 hours, then slept for another 7. It kind of messed up my plans for the day. I'm going to try to go to sleep by 1 a.m. and if I ever get off these forums, I'm going to do a few chores. All this extra sleeping is a chemo-related side effect. At least it's getting better - it was sometimes 20 hours a day in the past.

Waiting on the plumber/handy man to do some repairs. The toilet in the guest bathroom sounds like a lion roaring when flushed. lol There's a drip that is driving me nuts in master bathroom and the washing machine's drum is loose and wild. All this happened this weekend!!!

I feel for you! Our house is a little over 20 years old and we've had just about everything replaced... 2 air conditioners, 2 water heaters, windows, refrigerator, etc. Experts say that the biggest expense in retirement is home costs so I'm hoping we have a few years before anything else goes wonky.

And we had the exact same problem with our washing machine. Loose and wild drum. The repair company wanted $1600 to repair it so we just ended up buying a new one. We do have front-loading units under a granite slab but we hate them.

I have noticed that, too. Appliances seem to get together to plan so they all fail at once. Dogs need to go to the e-vet because they only get sick on weekends. By the time a plumber arrives, there more for him/her to do than I started out with.

If you have a car detailer in your town, you can have the interior/exterior cleaning done there.

The last few times we took in our vehicles... they did not do a good job of 'detailing'. Never again. And it's the only place within a 25 mile radius that we know of.

Well if you can do it easily, I'm pretty sure there are youtube videos. I got the using q-tips idea somewhere (for narrow spaces).
 
Sunday was busy in spite of feeling off from very little sleep. Walked about 3 miles. Forced myself to stay up until my usual time. Had a great sleep and woke up feeling wonderful. Lots of little jobs today but not enough to burn energy. Todays walk wasn’t far as we have to get those fall jobs done. Went with DH to pick up RV antifreeze and a light socket for a 3way light. He just replaced it last week and it only lasted one day. I won’t sleep well tonight.

wow!! what a rotten deal of the cards.. how are you managing the leukaemia?.:(. please don't feel the need to reply if it's too private...
 
4:30 am, phone rings, what the heck, group home, paramedics on line, son with DS being rushed to the ER, possible Covid-19, 😭. The group home aide can not leave the group home to go with son. I can not go due to possible Covid and not driving in dark.

Called oldest son, he’s gone to ER to be with youngest son. Waiting for Covid test results, they’ve drawn blood, given him morphine for stomach pain. Just waiting at home

Added: They are doing a ct scan of his stomach which is his major source of pain. He has a fever, rapid heart beat, a little shortness of breath, nausea, and the stomach pain. They put in an IV and gave nausea med and morphine.

So sorry Aneeda......hope it's not covid.....so scary for your son and yourself.
 
On my early walk at 6:30,temp was 48,no wind was refreshing.I didn't go far, walked around apt complex after I watered the flowers/plants in our community garden
I'm leaving shortly to walk 6 blocks to Canopy of Neighbors office where I'll be filing sheets any other things that either Sasha{exec director} Wendy {vol co ordinator} need me to do. I no longer go in every Tues since the office is only open on Tues&Weds
I'll try to take afternoon walk since its a sunny but cool day here in WNY,temps in the 50's.

Oh no, Aneeda, if it is not one thing it is another. Praying your son will be okay.
 
Today my aide is coming, I think. If so, I will have her do laundry and vacuum. I am going through my trunk finally and putting together a packet of photos today to mail to my husband. I need to empty this trunk and then giving it away. I am more in need of open spaces in my apartment due to using the walker most of the time.

In such a short time, I have come to really like having an aide. She has been a big help to me and I like her.
 
After my nap, I'm picking up the Accord battery, which is being charged at Walmart. The car has been sitting so long, the battery was completely dead. I believe it's still under warranty, so maybe they won't charge me. Then I'll try to sell the Accord, which has close to 200k miles on it and a cracked windshield. But it has a good stereo! And it still runs good. It's a reliable car and served me well, but we don't need it.

My son was diagnosed with COVID-19, a cyst has already developed next to his heart, problems breathing, fever, severe pain, etc. he has been admitted to the hospital. I managed to spend some time with him before he was diagnosed. 😭😭😭😭. He is in so much pain he didn’t even understand he had Covid.

I will go see him tomorrow. As I understand it, vaccinated people may visit.
