Thought of the day
Thank you for your condolences and kind words about Mrs. Shife’s mom.We’re hanging in there, but as you can imagine, some days are better than others.
Life has tried to “help” by throwing a few diversions our way.
I recently got 21 stitches in a very “inconspicuous” place.
Hardly anyone noticed the large 2‑inch incision on my forehead.
I had to have some skin cancer removed.
Fortunately, they got all the bad stuff, and I’ll have a nice permanent reminder to wear my sunscreen.
Kyle is getting braces today.
He shouldn’t have to have them for too long.
The hope is he’ll have them off before his senior year of high school starts in August.
For the love of fat bassets, I can’t believe he’s going to be a senior next year.
Speaking of bassets, I got a stern lecture from the vet that both Ms. Frizzle and Lucy are overweight, so I’ve been working hard on helping them lose a few pounds.
We were also hoping the Christmas spirit might give us some cheery distractions, but the weather outside is so not frightful.
We’ve been in the 50s and 60s with no snow on the ground or in the mountains, so it is not feeling a lot like Christmas.

That is all for now.
Thank you for being here for me, and you are more appreciated than you will ever know.

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

Yikes! Dr. Frankenstein's monster I presume? I had one removed from my nose and was amazed at the number of stitches they used!
ReplyDeleteOne of my lab granddogs went on the green bean diet (seriously... canned green beans) and lost weight. She's kept it off, too.
There's a such thing as a dual crock pot???
2025 has been a dumpster fire in more ways than one. But holy cow, those are serious stitches!!!! I'm so sorry! My husband has battled skin cancer but always has the Mohs surgery which apparently is a lot less invasive than what you had done! OUCH!
ReplyDeleteThis holiday is a sad one, but I hope your family experiences peace and joy by being together. Merry Christmas, my friend.
Yowza, look at you! I hope you heal quickly and well.
ReplyDeleteWhen I had a small pre-cancerous patch removed from my leg, it resulted in a big stitched up wound too because they also remove a sizeable surrounding perimeter both around and down from the actual problem spot (as you know now too). I told everyone who asked about my large scar that I got it in a knife fight in a lesbian bar. Now's your change to make up your own badass story so make it a good one! But I must say, the doctor did a good job because now, a few years later, the scar is practically invisible. If I didn't know where to look for it, I wouldn't be able to find it.
I'm glad they got all the skin cancer; it's nasty stuff. My dad battled it for many years. Dumpster fire isn't strong enough to describe 2025. Our weather is nasty but getting colder, so I'm assuming yours is too. More seasonal, even if there's no snow. A senior? No way! Hope the bassets slim down without too much trouble. My cat is either too skinny or too fat. Nothing in between.
