These are time flies for you. Take one a day starting tomorrow.
I tried to lay down one night in a place far away when I was very weary. I was unable to go another step so I lay down hopeless and tried to stop breathing. That did not work. Timing was all wrong. I got up and here I am.
Thanks buzz. The flies are hilarious, and the Moody Blues are beautiful. I have frequently sung that tune, both as a cynical commentary on life during 'strange moments', or just because... it's true.
we've gotten about 15" of snow out of this blast thus far, and it's still coming down thicker than snot. A mildly heavy damp snow at somewhere near 25-28 degrees f., with a forecast for winds up to 35 mph, tells me that what comes next, before we drop to 0 f., (common occurrence with occluding fronts), is that we're apt to see some trees drop on power lines, so the week preceding departure for the slicing and dicing is apt to be a bit interesting.. (*My youngest son is knowledgeable re. stringing the 100' 12/3 extreme weather cord out the barometric make-up air vent in the basement, out to the shed, and hooking up one of the 2 Honda generators we have, to run just the 2 top floors of the house on the boiler, if the power shuts down, but it's always an easier task with a second set of hands on-board).
Felt pretty good this morning (better than in a long while; almost like my old 'internal balance' was coming back), but the early and mid-day lethargy took hold long enough to allow me to check messages, visit a bit, and have a decent breakfast and lighter beginning to lunch.
Chores for the moment are out of the way, my boy's out snow-blowing the driveway, and I'm headed back into the soilless mixes.
It occurred to me that the day of my surgery will be (in addition to the 3 days shy of 6 months since my dx, mentioned earlier) 2 months and 27 days since the last CT Scan indicated there was no metastasizing at that time, though, as mentioned, a CT Scan doesn't compare to the F17 PT Scan. So there have been some internal discussions with myself, born of attempting to alleviate worry, as well as talking with my wife, re. whether or not, with the lycopene tx., CBD/THC tx, and the sulforaphane tx., as well as a primary adherence to the vegan diet, there might have been scant chance for the pole vaulters among the cancer cells to jump to the pelvic bone, etc.
These days the muscles' discomfort and response to what is likely caused by the L4-L5 nerve pinch, resulting in curiosity re. whether or not there is 'long-bone pain from any migration of the cancer'?
Questions that can't be answered for now, until pathology and more scans come through.
The temp's up to +30 f., so the snow has gotten more wet and heavy, and the wind is kicking up notably now, so my prediction re. downed trees and power lines, and questionable power supply, seem to be getting 'closer to real.'

I'm back to work in the shop to make a bunch more of the newer soilless mix, then in the next coupe days, break down and thoroughly clean the HRV, and get our outrageous amount of luggage packed for the 'Journey to Mecca.'
