Catching up here…
I’m feeling a little better. Got some rest. I had a white cell count booster shot yesterday. Next, I have an appointment at the end of next week for a PET scan to see how much my cancer has reduced (crossing my fingers it’s a lot!). Then, I have a follow-on appointment the Monday after to get the results and begin my first immunotherapy infusion. Whew! Hopefully, there will be another appointment added to see a surgeon to get my girlie parts removed!
Amazon very kindly reinstated my pre-order ability, but now I’m afraid to use it in case I don’t finish the next book in time. LOL. I have no confidence, but I guess I’ll go ahead and set one up for a far-away date to give myself some leeway, then change it to a sooner date when the book is done. I’m talking about Ignition, the last of the Delta Heat stories, which is almost all written at this point! Just a chapter or two to go, and I’m done. I’ll attack it next week and see how it goes. I’ll announce here when I set up the pre-order—after I regain my nerve.- The kids start back to school today, although the severe cold is here, and we might get SNOW on Thursday. This means the kids may get a long weekend out of it! Yay! Although, BOO, we already had a pipe freeze in the pasture. Won’t be able to fix it until it thaws sometime next week.
- We did our grocery shopping after I had my shot yesterday. I was sooooo tired after traipsing around the grocery store. My dd would’ve dropped me at home if I’d asked, but I wanted to do something normal I haven’t done in months. I loved seeing all the FOOD. I know I added a bunch she wouldn’t have bought because…pretty. Who can resist prosciutto and cheese? Or asparagus. (I’m the only person in the house who eats it.)
And that’s all that’s happening here. I’ve set myself some small goals for today and hope I can get that bare minimum done. My desk is buried in stuff!

Took my car in due to check engine light on. Then walked over to my favorite fast food place of course they don’t open till 11 but let me in so I could stay warm. Will get lunch here once they’re officially open. Love these guys they are a great place. I’m in Northern Virginia so lots of stuff still shut down ie Federal Gvt, County Schools. We haven’t seen this weather in a while so people are actually being more cautious. You guys take care hope you have good results and your pipe is fixed soon

No freezing weather, but we have cooled down where I live… I have been feeling a bit run down lately…

It’s very cold (teens/20’s overnight & 20’s during day – even with sunshine) – only got an inch of snow – I was on the northern edge of the storm that dumped a lot more to the south into Maryland & Virginia where my family are. Luckily, I can stay home most of the time. So glad your treatment seems to be working – maybe the enervating part is over?
