Aside from going to see Dr. Toy (My chiropractor) and grocery shopping, it was a day at home.

Got a couple of phone calls and did a few things around the house.    Nicky and I don't make too much of a mess but we do make some.

Tomorrow I will be home all day.   Think I will do the wash.

A storm is supposed to come in the afternoon.

Well.   Good news.   Had a bone scan done this morning.     No cancer.   So I am cancer free everywhere.   Now we have to figure out why my hips are hurting to much when I try to sleep at night.

Better than cancer.

Well,    Had my teeth cleaned today and have an appointment for some work later on this month.

Then I washed the sheets of my bed and just messed around here.

Tonight I went to Writer's Club.   There were only three of us there.   But we all read.   I read a poem that my Dad, Hutz Deeley wrote many years ago.    Perhaps you would enjoy it.

CAN YOU

Can you face the world with a smile?
Can you travel the hardest of roads
Can you brave the most difficult trail?
Can you carry the hardest of loads?

Can you smile when it's time to smile?
Can you cry when it's time to cry?
Can you enjoy something worthwihile?
Can you fail and say "again I will try"?

Can you laugh at the snow and the rain?
Can you always say "I can"?
Can you love some tender refrain?
Can you?  If you can you're a man.

Enjoy/

It wasn't a bad day today weatherwise.     A bit windy but the temps were in the 60s and the sun felt good when I went to get the mail.

I got gas in the car today and went to the Center for Creative Living and found out when to come back to have my taxes figured out.    They do it free, which is great though I would not mind paying a fee.    I just don't know how to do it in Oklahoma and don't know WHO does it so this is a real service.

Bart's friend, Scott, is visiting him this week and they came over this afternoon to visit.    A real pleasure.   Scott is a nice man and he and Bart have been friends since they were about 8 to 10 years old.   I am not sure exactly.    But he is always nice to have around.

Tomorrow I will be going to the dentist in the morning and to Writer's Club in the evening.

Yesterday, I was home all day with no excitement at all.   I did a few things , like the wash and cleaning the kitchen counters so I am becoming less of a slug as time goes on.   I sure will be glad to get my strength and ambition back.

Today, I went to the 11:00AM Mass as it is still a bit of a stretch to be ready to leave the house at 8:15AM.    I get tired getting Nicky and the morning things done that fast and seem to need a bit of a rest after that.   I think I will try it next week though.   I prefer going to Mass early in the morning and then joining those who go for donuts and coffee after Mass.  I've missed that.

This week I plan on doing my taxes.   I can get help at the Center for Creative Living here in Lawton.   I have not done them myself for years and have never done the Oklahoma ones without help.
