I for one would like to know your story as to how you became wheelchair-bound, it could be very inspirational but understand if you would rather not, you seem very upbeat and positive about life in general.
What are you doing today?

My daughter loves fairy lights too..instead of an outdoor light, she's put these fairy lights on the garden shed...
Thanks for your comments. I’m not so sure that my story is much different from or more inspirational than the stories of the many millions of other amputees

Actually, Mellow, there is no pain involved in the treatment, it is just lying absolutely still for 20 minutes or so with an inflated belt strapped across your diaphragm that's so tedious. My arms and hands are over my head so that my chest are is well exposed and that radiation beam can be directed straight to the nodule.
However, I do appreciate your sentiments fully. When it's over it takes me a few minutes to be able to stand after being so still in one position for that length of time.

Thank you.
It must be very tiring .. my mother had radiation therapy and was always tired afterward. All the best to you

Been a productive day so far. This morning the sun was shining bright, the sky was pure blue, and the air was fresh and pure as only it can be after a long rain. Went ahead and scraped the road to smooth out the few minor washouts from the last rain. Then finished installing all the plumbing back onto the pool, (solar heat and pump). All that's left is to warm the water a bit and get in to hook down the wedding cake steps. 
Also jumped on the mower and cut the doggie lawn and a couple of our hiking trails. After I get a bite to eat, I think I'll go ahead and weed eat the side of the road and maybe wash the car.

Gonna go pick up my granddaughter, Ariel. She wants a weekend with grampa. Ariel's kind of a slob (she's 10), but, man, she's a hoot! Love having her around. And she's getting better about picking up after herself....I only have to tell her once, and she smiles while she does it. Progress.

Not much. I had a busy week and I'm tired. I played some of my digital games today. Planning to load the dishwasher, put my laundry away, play the piano a bit and do a little social networking. After that, hopefully I'll be able to relax and watch T.V. or plug up and listen to music.
A grey cat has made himself at home in our back porch; I am highly allergic to cats/dogs... so, we aren't sure what to do. We've been feeding it this week and he was not eating the cat food. Hubby is feeding him leftover chicken from the deli. Looks like someone just dumped him.
I left my Covid-19 bunker and went to the library for the first time since 2019. They were closed for months but are now opened with the usual precautions. I picked up two movies on DVD. It's time to overcome the inertia of the pandemic and start moving back to what was once normalcy. There are a few yard sales I will look at tomorrow.

Showered & washed my hair. Went to the hairdressers for a cut. Came home, showered & washed my hair. This is only the 4th cut since May 2020 & that’s when I started this routine. I found I‘m happier not being itchy from the little bits of hair that always ended up in my clothes.
Had a couple of walks. It was perfect weather this afternoon. 22C.

How did it go Glowworm?
Did you mean getting the new car?

Yep, did you take it for a test drive?
Ah OK, I think maybe I wasn't clear or you misunderstood me in my original post. The car isn't ready yet. When I was at the dealer it was to go through the final specifications for the modifications. The car is adapted to order at the Mercedes factory in Germany before delivery so I have to wait until it's ready for delivery which will be late June.
Hope everything's OK and the pain goes soon.Had the two teeth removed the oral surgeon. Jello and ice cream for three days. Hurts
My eldest grandson has come over and will stay overnight for the first time in over a year. We're both fully vaccinated and he's had Covid recently so we should be OK. After lunch we'll take a walk and then all three of us will play cards - yes my girfriend can play as we use braille playing cards. This evening we'll have homemade sushi and watch Swedish Dancing with the Stars on TV
