I was up early today. Normally it would be a swimming day, but I knew swimming wouldn't be allowed while undergoing my cancer treatment, and I wasn't sure if the biopsy was healed enough to allow the chlorinated water. Despite the temperature, I got dressed and went over to the gym in -7 F degree temps (yes ... that's very COLD) to bring my friends and fellow 5:00 am swimmers up to date. I got a lot of hugs and will get lots of prayers, so I'm ahead of the game, right? I think so.

I'm trying not to think too far ahead, just stay with the game for each little bit. Just one step at a time can be a game-changer. |
Yesterday DH and I were going to make a backdrop so that he could photograph some of the items we want to put into auctions in the Southwest this coming year. I brought my staple gun over to the shop with me, and I know I had it, but somehow between the time I took it out of my backpack and the time we actually needed it shortly after closing, it had completely disappeared. You know how sometimes you swear there's a dimensional doorway that takes something you KNEW was there into a new realm? That's pretty much what happened to my favorite staple gun. I'm NOT happy, nor is DH who couldn't get his board covered and set up. Stumbles in the pathways of our lives. I'm now without my staple gun, and I have to look yet again today. It has to be there, I just can't think of where since we checked just about everywhere for it last night.

Most staple guns (DH owns three of them) are too hard for me to actually use effectively. The one I had was PERFECT for me and I loved it. I'm very upset that I couldn't find it last night, when I had just brought it to the shop in the morning. I think I looked everywhere, but will check a couple of other locations this morning. The project, to say the least, did not get completed. *sigh* |
And, of course, the Minnesota Vikings football team were a disaster last night. Our season has come to an ignominious end. It's a good thing I'm a hockey fan. The Wild are still doing very well, and there's lots more hockey remaining to be watched as we move through this new year.
 |
It's a good thing the Minnesota Wild are skating really well in hockey right now, because the Minnesota Vikings rolled over and died in the playoffs last night. It was a pathetic show and I didn't bother watching it for long. |
I have a 10:10 appointment with my Care Team at the cancer center. My friend Claire (aka "Chickie Mama" is coming along with me to help me have another set of ears and questions. I'm very fortunate in my friends. They've all come to the top with this twist in my life, and I know they'll be there for me if I need to call on them.
 |
Back to the Breast Center again today, this time for a meeting with my Care Team. I'll get a much better idea of the plan they have in place and the timelines I'll be looking at after today's meeting. I'm glad Claire is coming along with me. I can use a second set of ears and eyes to make sure I'm not missing anything. |
So, I'm going to wrap this up and have breakfast and a WARM cup of tea. I'm still defrosting from, my early morning "chores" and I think a nice 'cuppa' is merited. Have an excellent Tuesday and I'll be back tomorrow,.hopefully with more of an idea about my treatment choices and prognosis. Enjoy your Tuesday. Slava Ukraini.
