nothing to complain about

today i meet a friend, we chat. we are both well, though... we agree that we are both slowing down. he tires easily, i sleep a lot. when we passed 70 it felt like a good milestone but now we notice that the future still stretches a long way ahead. we both know 80 year olds who are impressively active. we hope that we can stay almost as active.
then he rides his pushbike to the shops and i jog the last couple of km home.

quiet times

No posts for a while... well, that's good, it means that there are no interesting disasters :-)
No disasters, so, what is happening?
My next scan will be in April. It seemed so far away and now it seems to be... quite soon. I notice that I am beginning to get twinges of anxiety...
I've learnt that new word: "scanxiety"... the anxiety while waiting for the results of a scan.
Did you read about the Australian of the Year? A doctor -- with cancer -- who is using himself as a test subject. Excellent, just the right thing to do, he can do the scientific observations -- plus add commentary from the patient point of view.

My scanxiety is minor. What makes me miserable is lacking things to do that other people actually want me to do. I'm not very good at self-motivation.
I have "my app" which I'm very pleased with but no-one uses it. Like a book, writing is difficult, getting published is even harder.  I do have a couple of possible users (groups) but it's a lot of wait-and-see.

I have a few other things which need to get started. I'm short-listed to run for the Cannabis Party, I'm against use but I support the right to choose. No chance of winning a seat. Or even of getting any good publicity. But it certainly embarrasses Deb :-) And I enjoy trying.
It cheers me up just being short-listed. And the interview reminds me that I can still talk. Ans talk. And talk...
