Kinda like Christmas!

I've been unpacking boxes and stuff in my basement that were packed over 3 and a half years ago. Every box either reveals items that I didn't know I still had or generates that "Aha" moment when I finally find something that I knew I had. I find that I have enough enough screws and nails to sell back to Home Depot or Lowes. Of course, ever since we got here, I've always run off and bought new ones whenever they were needed because I had no idea where my stash was.

I once knew a man who would do that with tools. If he couldn't find a tool that he knew he had then he would go out and purchase a new one! He admitted that it was somewhat costly but it had two things going for it - it saved him a lot of time and he could complete it! How can you argue with logic like that!

One year ago to the day was the last day that I thought that there was nothing really seriously wrong with me. It being a Monday last year, I went to work after returning from our cruise and didn't bother to make an appointment with the doctor. Why bother? There was nothing really wrong with me! Being tired and running out of breath was just because I'm getting older and that's what happens with age! And, let's face it, I'm a guy, and we don't run off to the doctor unless we think we really have to!

As I said before, the one year anniversaries are going to start coming fast and furious now. I've already shared my thoughts as to why I ignored everything once I got home from the cruise.

Tomorrow, I'll share what happened when I finally went to the doctor. I have never really divulged all that happened leading up to my entrance to the hospital for chemotherapy before. So, hopefully, the entries for the next week or so won't be as boring as I am sure that they have been for the past few months.

stay tuned...
