Br-r-r! It's down into the 30sF this a.m. and since I don't use the heater in my house, and I allow the fire in the wood stove to go out mid day, it's pretty cold in here! I've got a nice fire going now though. But I'm finished reading new posts on the Forum, and really have no reason to continue to sit here at the computer (which is right next to the wood stove), I'm just dilly dallying, trying to think of reasons to keep me here instead of going into the kitchen and preparing today's tortoise ration.
I went to the skin doctor yesterday and she took a biopsy of a spot on my nose. I'll know in about a week if it's skin cancer or not. Seems like the nose is a bad place to have a cancer - not much skin there. Oh well, hopefully it won't amount to anything. I've had several skin cancers removed from my face over the years, and one off my back. None of them were the bad kind. . .
After my appointment I was considering stopping to get something to eat, but it was only 10:30a and most places don't start serving lunch until 11a. So I went to the store and bought some Milk Duds instead:
Here ya go. I'll share them with you all.
Today I plan to finish raking the leaves in the desert and Texas tortoises' yards and pile them up on their hibernatoriums. Hopefully I'll follow through with my plan!
My son's mother-in-law has diabetes and was going to have to have a leg amputated, but they were able to get the circulation with a stent, so she only had toes amputated. Now yesterday my son (they're in Texas) told me the doctors are again thinking of amputation, this time both legs below the knees. I can't imagine that. That would be terrible. Thank goodness I don't have diabetes. I don't think I would be able to live with legs amputated. I thank God every day that I have my health and am able to take care of myself and my property. . . well, and the animals!
And on that lovely note, I guess I have to get my act together and get going. Later!
