Rough day

 We had a hard day on Monday. The third appointment for the day was an in office surgical procedure.  Far Guy is feeling rotten.  That appointment generated two extra appointments for today…an 8 am appointment and  a noon appointment.  They are keeping a close eye on him as am I. 

His procedure was called a uro lift and it is supposed to help older fellas pee better. Time will tell. 

We didn’t need to add any appointments to our schedule…now it is 10 appointments in 3 days. Uffda.

We are already exhausted after the 3 appointments on Monday…onward to the 4 on Tuesday. 

I keep telling Far Guy that one of these days things will calm down and get better.

Sunset was glorious!

 Far Guy called the beautiful sunset to my attention.   I was just beginning to cook some potatoes for supper.  Jen made a turkey.

Reflection in the old window.

November 23 2025 Sunset!  Thanking God for another day even if the day was filled with frustrations.  Some days are like that! 

This week we have six/ seven maybe eight medical appointments in three days...we feel like we are off to the races! 

It was a nice day High was 51F or 11C the low was 11F or -3C. 

My arthritis says that the weather report is for cold weather this week and maybe snow.

Quiet

 It was a quiet Saturday.   Jen and I went out to a friends Flower Farm where they are getting ready for Christmas sales.  We helped Sarah put together a number of arrangements with assorted greens, sticks, pinecones and festive picks.  A few extra hands makes for fast creations!  No photos...the next time I go out I will take some. 

I am packaging up Christmas Ornaments 2025 and getting them ready to mail.  There were two errors...easily fixed but I should not have made the error in the first place. 

Our latest puzzle.

A very difficult puzzle....frustrating at times ...so many possibilities.

Far Guy and I had brats and scalloped potatoes for supper. 

It was a very nice day.   High  was 50F or 10C and the low was 32F or 0C...there was frost on the roofs this morning.

Views

 I spend some time in parking lots near the Cancer Clinic and the Hospital.  

My view from where I sit in a pretty much empty parking lot while I wait for Far Guy to have his radiation treatment....some days the Valet Parking is available and sometimes not. 

This is backside of the hospital...the Cancer Center is the beige shorter building next to the brick building on the left. 

My view from another parking lot...Far Guy gets his weekly infusion inside the Emergency Department/Infusion Center.

I drop him off at the door...run my errands and then I wait in this parking lot for him to text me so I can pick him up at the door after his infusion.  When the wind is blowing and it is way below zero the drop off/pick up service will be appreciated!

Friday was day 15 out of 20 radiation treatments.  Far Guy looks like he has a sunburn now, I encourage him to lather on the radiation cream.  He is getting more fatigued everyday.  Next week he has three treatments due to Thanksgiving....so radiation treatments will continue on into December.  Hopefully December 2nd he can ring the bell that signals the end of treatments.  Fingers and toes crossed.

Retrieving

 I was minding my own business working on Christmas ornaments when I heard peals of laughter downstairs.  Then my phone pinged. 

Sadie was quite happy and proud of herself when she retrieved my crochet project out of my project bag.  It is a special bag with a zipper that I ordered for my take along projects after many days of chasing down balls of yarn in the backseat of the car. The bag has a zipper on top but I must remember to zip it up!

No harm was done to the project...just a few rows were unraveled...by the way this is a pink and white shell stitch afghan that I am making to stash away in case someone has a little girl someday.  Shell stitch is one of my favorite stitches.  Just to give you perspective I crocheted a soft green afghan in shell stitch for Savannah back in 1996...another some years later and yet another one that I gave her last summer. 

And Sadie does what all good Golden Retrievers do...she retrieves.
