Trivial Important Things
Mar. 9th, 2025 08:47 pmIt had been years since I'd checked to see if a food delivery service would come out to our place. So tonight, feeling to tired to get to a store, I looked again. Doordash was a big no, but Uber Eats had a few options, including Panda Express. So decided to go for it, even if it felt like more than a test than anything else. And it worked! They came sooner than they'd said, even, and the food was still warm. I realize that Panda Express may not sound like a big treat to you, but to us it felt like a big treat. :-)
In other news, I completed what I set out to do last weekend. I finished putting together the 2 bookcases and installed the bidet. This weekend Jeff had enough energy to secure the bookcases to the wall so I was able to start filling them with books and some other stuff. We still need to get more storage/shelving for the office, but we need to wait a bit for $ reasons. I think our best bet going forward is Habitat for Humanity stores since the %^&%*^% tariffs are going to make DYI kits produced in China too expensive.
Bidet review and musings: I purchased from Tushy, and got the Wave model (non-electric w/front option in addition to the usual back). There was plenty of video and written info that made installation pretty straightforward. After of week of living with it I needed to re-position the seat further forward. And I had to do quite a bit of water pressure experimentation. I'm pretty happy with it, but I suspect this was a "you get what you pay for" experience. But I don't have anything to compare it to. Still, I like having it more than not having it.
Jeff is starting to feel a bit better. He able to be awake more, but gets exhausted easily. One big deal is the steroid he's been taking has bloated him up to the point now that he can't get shoes on. I'm encouraging him to call his oncologist and asking if he can get off of it. In theory, he's done with chemo, with another few weeks of radiation. At the end of this months he'll have some blood work to determine next steps. We're really hoping that we'll go into "keep things monitored" mode and that he can start the healing/losing weight/gaining strength process.
Not too much else going on. I'm slowly working on my Gibson Girl blouse and hand-finishing the seams. I had a biopsy of a "liver spot" on my chest and it came back as possibly pre-cancerous, so I'm having it frozen off on Tuesday. I had the same thing done a year ago my face, so I know the drill.
Media-wise, we're enjoying the new Daredevil series. I was reminded of the old MASH series, so I started binging some episodes on Hulu while taking a break from my DYI projects. That series has aged pretty well, IMHO. Of course, things fall down in the female character side of things, but over the seasons Houlihan got better. And was it intentional that Miss Piggy is so much like her?
And I can't sign off before my annual I Hate Daylight Savings bitch. Tomorrow/Monday morning is going to suck.
