Today, I get my port removed. It is a thing under my right collar bone (surgically inserted) that has a tube which has been inserted into my jugular vein. It's for delivering chemo. I've gotten used to it, but the tube being in my jugular vein kind of makes me squeamish when I think about it.

Other than that, it's paperwork time, as usual. When that is all caught up, I am going to be a happy camper! And I vow to never let it get so far behind again. Of course, I had a reason this time out -- my health was too poor to do it. Usually I just procrastinate until deadlines are upon me.

Plus, of course, I will be working on my to-do list.

I remember how happy I was when my son got his port removed. It truly means you are in remission. You should mark your calendar and celebrate this day every year. 😍

love me some hot water bottles too!

That's what my mother would give us to use when we had cramps.
I'd like to get one to use for my cold feet at night. I already wear socks to bed.

Normally I just use a microwave bag every night. It soothes my back and heats up the ice cubes on the bottom of my legs. On really cold nights I’d also pull out the hot water bottle. It says not to use boiling water, I do and have a thick wrap for it. It stays warm all night. This year I decided to use it every night & find it therapeutic for my insomnia in the middle of the night.

Hello boys and girls. I've been too tired the last couple of days to post. This working stuff? It's only six hours five days/week, but sometimes it just wears me out. The "sometimes" are the mornings after I don't sleep well. It's almost full moon time. Don't laugh. It's a fact that a full moon can disrupt sleep. Tonight I'm going to throw caution to the winds and take Benadryl.

There's a daffodil blooming in the front yard. There are buds on a whole bunch of them. And Sunday we might have, according to the local weather forecast, a "winter weather situation". That's right. It's been described as a situation.

It's Thursday, my favorite day of the week. It's the day my paycheck posts to my checking account. Woohoo and stuff.

Add to Favorite Day that we're getting another person in the bakery. I can hardly contain my delight! She's transferring from the bakery at a store clear across the city but lives on our side of town. I think she drives about 40 miles one way to work at the other store. Eeek. Anyway, it will be great to have another pair of (experienced) hands and help a lot for me to learn stuff I just don't even have a clue about after working there two months. According to my supervisor, she's probably going to start on Sunday. Yippee.
 
Well I take my hat off to you.. I'm only 66..nowhere near your ripe age..of 80.. and I certainly wouldn't want to work 6 hours a day 5 days a week... nope..no sirreee... not now.

I wouldn't mind a little job of a few hours a week but no alarms, no getting up in the dark... no rigid structure.. I might volunteer somewhere.... a few hours that's all..

We had a happy paycheck this week. Husband went full time AND worked some over time. Then we discovered a bit of money in an investment account which his company put funds in so we cashed that out. 😊

Does this mean that you don't need your port anymore?

Good news for you! Nothing like having enough help at work. 😁

(I don't get here to post everyday, either)

I don't remember where you live, but like @Georgiagranny , our weather "situation" is expected over the weekend. Hopefully it won't be bad enough to keep us from going to the roller rink.

❄️❄️❄️Good luck in digging out!

You mean what are we spending the “found money” on, 😂? If any is left after we pay taxes it will be sent to our daughter who needs money for her latest round of medical bills. Plus an equal amount given to the oldest son who needs money for bills. (He still is paying on his open heart surgery.)

We are 75 and have one foot on the edge of the grave. We don’t need much. Anything extra, if they need it, they get it. 😂. Even if they don’t need it, but they do. But we have always “helped” them when we could no matter how little we had.

We struggled so much over the years. Anything we can do to lessen their struggle we do; but it’s not much. Same with our disabled boys. In this way, we seem to be very different than most parents of disabled children. I am told most parents drop them off and run off. 🙄. How sad.
