I was just thinking today, as I was in my bedroom with the sun shining in and warming it, my little food pump chugging away as I played with the Quack Pack and then read some light fiction, that life is good, despite the setbacks from this recurring cancer mess -- Of course, it helped that I am still on low doses of Oxycodone pain killer, which helps my outlook to be cheerful for sure!

Even my chilliness is working with me because I can get into bed wearing a thermal undershirt, fleece bottoms, wool socks and a couple of fleece upper garments -- With a couple of fleece blankets and a good sleeping bag spread on top as a comforter, I get nice and toasty warm without feeling overheated.

I have plenty of DVDs on hand, having increased my NetFlix subscription for the recuperation period, plus a friend dropped by and loaned me a couple of season's worth of Boston Legal.

Things could sure as heck be a lot worse!
