still alive -- and kicking!

Right now I'm well. Very well. With a few items to get off my chest.

This blog is for me. Rather than worry about things, I write them, post them... forget them. It works very well :-)

The blog is also for other people, people who know me. How am I today? No need to ask, it's all in the blog. There are some people who don't tell anyone that they have terminal cancer. That -- in my opinion -- is not very nice. How's Nick? you ask, I haven't seen him round for a few months. Oh, he's dead, didn't you hear?

I prefer to share. To let people know what's happening -- if they want to know. To avoid the need for secretive whispers, Have you heard...?

Oh, there may also be total strangers, people I will never meet. My blog may interest them. If they have their own terminal cancer it may help to know how someone else deals with it... and what may be involved.

But back to the start: this blog is for me. So I may stretch the content. Cover other topics that interest me. Things that I really would like to get off my chest... Especially when nothing cancerous is happening. Nothing visible, anyway :-)

And I would start an off-topic topic right now...

Except that the battery of my tablet is at 1...
... %

Well, I typed 1 -- and the battery died. So, enough for tonight. Except to misquote a book that I recently read. To misquote... between scans... while I may worry but am feeling fine...

Only one thing is harder than me to kill, and that's the fungus in my crotch.

lmao...

here we go again!

I can't deny it, I'm aware of a big black cloud on my horizon. I think of it perhaps once every few days. Just a glancing thought, it's not a great worry. I worry about Deb, perhaps twice as often.

Now I'm getting the date for my next MRI. As soon as I send the email, requesting an appointment -- I became more aware of that cloud. A quick flash of worry, doesn't last long.

Now the appointment is made -- still well into the future -- and I'm past worry and into mental preparation: building a strong *non* expectation. Whatever the result, I want to be neither shocked nor thrilled... Of course I will be more tense as the date gets closer, I always am :-)

===

Interesting times: the post-scan appointment -- getting the results -- will be via phone. Coronavirus keeps us at a distance. So, no driving, no parking fees -- and that's something to be glad about :-)

Meanwhile, I'm working on my phone app. Coding in Kotlin, a language that I don't know. A language with basic concepts that I don't know. I feel a bit like a single ant gnawing at a carcase: making some progress... very little... but very enjoyable.

Freee-d-o-o-o-mm !!

We're just back from our first post-quarantine excursion. To a shop.

Isn't it so quiet on the streets?

No sign of vigilantes. Nor zombies. So far so good.
