Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
Let's face it. I was terrified all day. I recently replaced the sunroof glass on my commuter car because the old seal had gone bad. Fortunately I noticed it before any damage to the car had taken place, but there was corrosion of the part that made it impossible to just put on a new seal. So $500 for a new part it is.
Anyway, today was the first real rain the new sunroof had faced. And when I say "real" rain, I'm talking about Old Testament, is the world going to wash away, rain.
I nervously approached the car at the end of the workday and cautiously peered through the windows at the seats and carpet. Nothing out of the ordinary. I got in and felt around everywhere just to be sure....
DRY!!!!! Praise the Lord, I had no water where water didn't belong!
I'm feeling pretty good about myself about now. Yay me.

Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
