Back to the present!

There's nothing to report from a year ago as we were now in waiting mode to see what the results from my first(unbeknownst to me at the time) bone marrow biopsy would be.

So, what am I currently doing now? Still working on my basement workshop is what! I finally have the time and by recycling a lot of already existing elements in the area and using electrical supplies that I've had around for years - I am finally moving forward to make the area as practical as possible for me.

We were invited to a late afternoon cocktail party at a friends house where they wished to introduce all of us to their first grandchild. Certainly an exciting time and an occasion well worth celebrating. For me, obviously, it did not not involve too many cocktails - like none. Also, in somewhat cramped quarters, it quickly began to get overcrowded as our friends had invited a large number of their friends.

Not being able to run around and shake hands with everyone, I would have appeared to be both rude and anti-social. I'm lucky - now I have an excuse for acting that way! So we only stayed for a little while and came home. Another bummer. But, at least it was a chance to get out for a few minutes.

At all costs, I wish to avoid getting any of the flu that is going around or any other contagious disease for that matter.

So far, so good...
