Off to a movie!
That's right! I actually went to an indoor movie this evening. Well, not a real movie theater mind you - but it was playing a first run movie. Actually, we went to the Wilton Town Hall Theater. A limited seating venue with old-fashioned prices($4 for seniors - I have to admit it when it saves me money!) and old-fashioned popcorn(real butter - I can feel my arteries clogging now!). The nice thing is that, since it is upstarirs at the Wilton Town Hall, it really has limited seating so that it is impossible to be out in a large crowd. We further add to that by sitting off to one side away from any people.
To be sure this will not be a regular occurrence but it really was nice to get out and do something different for a change. Another step forward - even if only a baby step.
Other than that a quiet day that places me one step closer to getting back to normal(?).
Just keeping plugging away...

Absolutely nothing!
That's basically what I have to report for the day. Likewise, no funky feelings about anything. I'm just continuing to truck along - taking my medication as instructed and feeling no pain. Sometimes when you feel this well for this long a time you begin to question the need to continue with your medications. But I'm not rocking the boat.
I anticipate that the weekend will be uneventful as well. My wife is taking two of my grandchildren to a craft fair at my mother-in-law's assisted living facility tomorrow. So, I'll be alone for most of the day. Still no crowds.
I do feel that it's important to let each of you know how I'm feeling. Maybe, at this point in time, a daily notification isn't really necessary. But, I'm so conditioned to making my daily entry that the day wouldn't be complete without doing it.
So much for today...

A real quiet day!
Just wrapped up some small details with my kitchen and basically put everything away. The area now looks neat and clean - for once! Now, I'm trying to decide what to do next. Until then, I think that it's time for a well deserved rest. However, I can't forget that a week ago I was up in Maine and I guess that I have to count that as a rest as well!
I'm still feeling great. I still find it hard to imagine that it just keeps on going this way each and every day! No complaints - but it makes it difficult to keep the constraints in place. However, I don't want to rock the boat when everything is going this great.
I don't expect that tomorrow is going to be much different...

An apple a day!
Yes, I had an apple after dinner(something not allowed during those first 100 days) and it made me think about the old saying "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". I'm not so sure that my doctor would subscribe to this too much. But, to replace all my medications with one apple would most certainly be a lot more financially beneficial!
I also heard that they had another layoff at work - 15 more! When will it ever end! And they say that the economy is turning around!
Not much else to talk about. The kitchen is finished - for now. Time to find another project to do.
Most importantly, good health continues to rule the day...

Almost done!
With the kitchen, that is - not with my recovery. Unfortunately! Really nothing exciting to comment on regarding the day. I just continued painting and then relaxed afterwards.
I am feeling great - as usual. I'm almost forgetting that I'm supposed to recovering from an illness. I haven't suffered at all anytime along the way so I'm getting a little impatient at this point in time. Five more months is a long way to go.
So, I'll just have to continue with more projects to get my mind off of things.
Periodically, I go over my pulpit speech(I can't call it a sermon!) as different phrasings come to mind and events cause the need for updates. I did a small update last night and I'm sure that there will be others before all is said and done. Something like that is always a work in progress and, to me, always in need of "improvement". I am looking forward to giving it in order to bring closure to this whole affair and to allow me to get on with my life.
That's what's on my mind right now.
Thank God I don't have much of a mind...

A beautiful day!
Weatherwise it was a quintessential New England late summer day. One in which I continued my painting in the kitchen and I did go start the process to get my passport renewed. If all goes well, hopefully I'll get to use it sometime next year.
Right now I am concentrating on keeping productively busy and continuing on my journey to full recovery. There is not much else to say other than I continue to feel fine. As I said before, I think that it's getting near the time to start questioning the doctor as to when some of my constraints can be relaxed a bit. I expect nothing to happen until the end of October when I anticipate being completely off the immuno-suppressants. We'll see!
Once the kitchen is done(hopefully tomorrow) I am currently at a loss as to what's next. But I am sure that we'll come up with something.
So, another good day...

Back to reality!
Yes, tomorrow I commence with the kitchen painting project once more. Not much more to do. We have also tried to see what it would take to just get the cabinet doors replaced with something a little more to our liking. But our initial efforts have been rebuffed as the cabinet company does not wish to make that many doors. I don't know why, they do door replacement. So we'll probably wait until later to see how we'll perform our cabinet upgrade.
We spent the day at my brother-in-law's and sister-in-law's house and went out to dinner to celebrate his birthday which was a few days ago(we, of course, were in Maine at that time). So it was a good day.
I don't go back to the doctor's for another couple of weeks as October 7th was the earliest date that we could get that would give us our early morning appointment. I really don't think that there is much to worry about even though there will be a 6 week span from my last appointment. I feel great and people still tell me that I look better now than I have in a long time. Maybe it's simply the buzz cut hair! I suppose that I could have saved myself a lot of trouble and just cut my hair and been done with it! Personally, I still haven't got used to the look even though others have been complementary and said that it looks great. It certainly is easy to maintain, however, and that's a big plus.
My passport is running out in December so I think that I'll go tomorrow after painting and get it renewed. Without a doubt the photo will look different. Will I still look like this is 10 years? Who knows! Will I still be around in 10 years? Who knows! Does it make any difference?
I'm not sure if fall started today - but someone said that they thought it did. In any case, that's a bummer - summer's over and winter is next!
So, just another day on the road to recovery. But what a well paved and smooth road it is. If you have to go this way, you might as well go first class...

Got home late!
We were out playing bridge with friends tonight and after finishing the card playing we got to talking and the time just kept on rolling by. So we go home a little late which translates into this blog entry being late as well. For us the good news was that we won handily. But since we play for fun, it really doesn't make much difference.
Tomorrow(today!) the choir sings for the first time this church season and I'll have to miss it. As I said before, missing church on Sunday bothers me and now not being in the choir as well only rubs more salt in the wound. Sure, I have 7 months under my belt. But there are supposedly 5 more to go - it's still quite a lengthy time frame.
Today(yesterday!) was another typical day. We watched my granddaughter play soccer as the one and only highlight.
I'm still doing fine. It was rather interesting that my pharmacy called this afternoon and noted that I was running low on my lipitor(I still had a week to go) and they offered to refill it. So, I took advantage of the system and had it refilled. I've never been called by a pharmacy before! Ah, the modern, computer age - they know everything about you!
That's about it for today...
