Woke up at 5 a.m.

57 degrees in the Fort.

Peddle something today.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Go home and work on the race car.

Have a wonderful day!

ZzzZz

Slept great. Just not enough

Pretty good day yesterday

Knock some stuff off the list today after a 7:15am meeting

Need to schedule a yard crew to come knock down the front part of the back acre

Errands later after work

I am so tired my eyes are swollen.

Mango Chai from Starbucks. I can't decide if I like it

Whee.

Oh, and stupid/thieving USPS says they delivered a package to an individual at our address. It was a birthday gift my mom sent to my wife.

It never made it to us.

Up at 8 today, which is about normal for us. Croissant, fruit and coffee for breakfast.
Because a good day starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of human- or politician-kind is up to.

• Mango pineapple energy mix instead of coffee this morning; I think I'll make coffee anyway
• Hopefully mom gets the biopsy today and then we wait, but it's really just to confirm the doc's expectation of Richter transformation
• Prepping and packing to go do some deck building at the cabin this weekend

Got a call from the doctor's office just now to see how I was doing. They asked me if I'd taken my Hydrocodone. I said no because I have to drive today. I was taking Motrin instead. Apparently they'd also sent me home with something called Ketrolac "They explained this to you at release."

I have almost no memory of the time between the when I received the anesthesia and when I went to bed last night. I'm glad she called!

I really hope your mom has some sort of epiphany today about her health.

It's important to have an advocate of some sort when being released from surgery or the hospital. Brain fog is a thing after anesthesia.

We had the talk yesterday. Anything that involves chemo is a no-go. Chemo would probably kill her faster than the cancer. If this is indeed Richter transformation, the only option is very aggressive chemo. There is a possibility it's not Richter and just "angry CLL," but that possibility is low.

• Slept about 6 hours. Better than last night. Would like a nap but not likely.
• Diet Coke and knock-off fig newtons for bf
• Speaking at the conference went fine yesterday
• Have to give 5 annual reviews tomorrow.
• Softball banquet tonight
• Travel work tonight.

Kind of hopeful - a potential house very close to me is coming available. Really hoping its perfect for my mom. The size is right and kitchen plenty big. Just hope the rest of the house is good.

I understand her reasoning. Sometimes there aren't good options.

If I ever end up with a recurrence or a secondary cancer, I've thought about what I would do. It's hard to say whether I would want to go thru it again at an advanced age. My body handled it pretty well years ago but I'm not young anymore.

Her refusal makes sense to me. I just hate that we aren't at a point where there are better options.

Harrumph!
This is ridiculous. I have to fill up my Toyota Prius every 3 weeks at this current price. We lol Olds aren't made of money!

At least you didn't get gas on a Friday

I took a picture of my last gas purchase too. My crossover SUV cost me big time.

I do hate having to clear the cobwebs from my gas port when I fill up. But it's so long between fill ups that I cannot think of another way to keep spiders out of there.

My Prius gets over 50 miles per gallon. Sometimes my Tacoma gets one week per gallon.
