I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

If You Clean the Oven on Thursday…
Do you know the story, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?" In this children's book a mouse is given a cookie which leads to the mouse wanting something else...like a glass of milk, etc., etc. Well, yesterday's pushing buttons to clean the oven led me to do lots of jobs in the kitchen today...wipe out the residue in the lower oven, wipe out the upper oven (just because the lower oven was clean and made me think about using the steam setting on that oven, decided to put that off to snother day), wipe off the outside of the stove, wipe off outside of refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and stove hood, wipe off wall behind stove, clean inside of microwave, wipe off counters, dustmop floor. clean sink, wipe off faucet...and, probably more! Kitchen is looking pretty good...thanks to letting technology clean the oven yesterday! Both Woody ad I enjoyed a day without interruptions from anything medical. I really should have worked on getting his infectious disease doctor's appointment rescheduled and also make him an eye doctor appointment...but I decided those calls could wait so it could truly be a non-medical day! He has read, worked his crosssord puzzles, watched some TV...not a lot different than usual...but no comings or goings of medical stuff was nice! After I got through wth the flurry of activity in the kitchen, I did just sit in my recliner and either read or stitched. It was nice not to have to be a clock watcher...either to get somewhere on time or pick up on time! Today has been rainy and chilly...another reason it was good to stay home! Now to remember that Woody is supposed to be at dialysis at an earlier time tomorrow...and, to be sure to put the phone next to me tonight, in case they call first thing in the morning asking him to come in at an even earlier time! At least we have had a day to ourselves today! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
