In past years Don and I have put on blinders to avoid seeing all the repairs and updating chores that are needed, on our 20-year-old house. We've taken trips instead. But if I'd known I was going to be spending so much time at home, staring at that annoying crack in the paint or this worn carpet, maybe I would have done something earlier... so I could enjoy this home, that I actually really do care about. But, the good thing is... you can always decorate to distract from flaws! Actually I've always loved holiday decorating. Even before kids, Don and I both had a good time making things festive. But since becoming empty-nesters, we've traveled more. And when you're not at home as much, then why bother? I've missed my silly decorating fun. So I did one wise and silly thing during those weeks I waited before surgery. I dragged out some of the fun stuff. I set up a "beach table" near the couch where I've spent a lot of time. And then I added a few July 4th goodies during that first week, while taking it easy. The paint and repairs can come later. This is all I need now!

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
