Just got an email from the rescue folks. They decided I was good enough for Leroy. We get to pick him up on Saturday after he's snipped on Friday. Time to scramble and get a kennel and stuff for him to tear up.
Other good news came from the doctor. My blood pressure is good, my blood sugar and A1C were good, the diabetes seems to be under control, and she told me to go away for a year. It's always good to leave the doctor smiling.
Still more good news came out of Washington D.C.: Otis McDonald won his case before the Supreme Court.
There was, however, some not-so-good news.
First, was the news from my doctor that it is time for another colonoscopy (it has been 5 years since the last one). I get to visit with the surgeon tomorrow, and we'll schedule the alien abduction after I get to talk to him. For those of you who winced at this news, my last one was about 45 minutes of my life that I missed. I remember nothing from "roll over on your left side" to "wake up, it's over". All things considered, that's how it should be. It's nothing to fear.
Secondly, the news that Sen. Robert Byrd died leaves me with a sense of emptiness. While I disagreed with almost everything he did as a Senator, he was the longest serving member of Congress, ever. And had the courage to change from a KKK member to a supporter of civil rights. The Senate has lost an unforgettable member.
I'll leave you with this thought: Getting older stinks, but it's still way ahead of whatever alternatives really exist. :)
Stay well, and take care of yourselves.
Glad to hear you are well.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll go buy a pistol to celebrate Otis's victory.
