Nobody is Promised Tomorrow. . .
Still waiting for warmer weather. But the early magnolias are loving it.
And there is more scaffolding around the Washington Monument.
These fotos were taken with “the camera the costs as much as a car”, my beloved but clunky Panasonic L1.
Sunny and 65° today. That’s more like it.
The Hospital called Mr C today and asked him when he retired and when I retired. Now what does that have to do with anything??? I am just bitchy enough to tell them that isn’t any of their business. But, he told them. Which, considering that they are going to be coming at him with sharpened knives, was the prudent action.
Yes, when I woke up this morning my computer weather announced it was 30° with chance of wild fires this afternoon. That sounds like some Miltonian version of Hades. Carlton’s cancer not withstanding, we came home 30 days too soon this year.
We are all chuckling about the boy tyrant in North Korea. We should remember that while pitt bulls are dangerous, chihuahuas with rabies are more dangerous.
One of the women I work with told me to just chill about Carlton’s attempt micro-manage his illness. The weather is sure helping with the chilling!
Mr C is pressuring his doctors to just cut out the cancer and sew him back up. The doctors wanted to cut the cancer out and leave him unstitched for a couple of days while they pondered the biopsy results. Mr C wasn’t having any of that. He told them to just sew him up. The doctors said – OK – we’ll do a skin graft so we can go back in easily. Today, Mr C decided that he didn’t want the skin graft either. He is fussing with the doctors about that.
I am just sort of exhausted. I have been trying to get him treatment for the last four months. He has been resisting for just as long. I am sure he is just as tired as I am.
Opening Day One – Nats Win! Good start.
Opening Day Two – Carlton’s surgery is scheduled for next Monday, April 8 at 0730. Time to get this show on the road.
PS – More on Easter. I got a couple of dark chocolate covered pineapple bunnies. When I bit the ears off, I felt very religious.
Just why is it that the Christians commemorate the Romans nailing a nice Jewish boy to a tree by having a white rabbit deliver colored chicken eggs to good little boys and girls?
Cold and damp again.
At long last – a nice warm and sunny day. It did wonders for my outlook. Nothing changed except the weather. But, I’ll take it.
Just looked out the window and noticed that the light was on the Washington Monument and it’s new scaffolding. It will be up for a year or so. It would be great if they light the scaffolding – but – I bet they won’t.
Not the greatest photo – Hand held, max zoom from the balcony…
Well, a fire got lighted under Mr C and he found out he had fallen through the cracks at his doctor’s office. He got their attention and maybe something will get scheduled. Please get something scheduled. He also got an appointment to see the hernia repair doctor next week.
Two things I am more than a little concerned about that don’t involve Carlton:
1. North Korea, and
2. Serious cyber attack on US infrastructure.
Hopefully, there is nothing to worry about. Don’t know what the little thug can actually do. But, plenty of damage could be done by a concerted cyber attack.
If I wanted to be in DC in January, I’d be in DC in January. I am SOOOOOOOoooooo tired of cloudy, windy, damp and cold. Can I please go to Tokyo? I bet they have cherry blossoms and spring.
Nothing is happening, Carlton-wise. No word about when he will have surgery. I think:
Better fire up my blow torch. I’ll light a fire under somebody.
Walked home from work today and came upon this cherry tree trying to spring.
No word on when Mr C gets operated on yet. As AA says “One Day At A Time”.
Snow day from the bedroom window. Momma Nature is, once again, showing us who is actually in charge.
My dentist cancelled on account of snow. That is rescheduled for Wednesday afternoon. Mr C’s surgeon said no surgery this week. Maybe next week or the week after. Surgeon also told him to cool it with the hernia surgery until he gets the cancer thing taken out. I think this is a good plan.
So, we are back in wait mode.
Once again – shameless self promotion to get 10 bucks off my next order.
