TGIF! A well deserved break for the working class. It’s always hard to go back to work after the holidays.

January is a tough month because we always have HOA stuff, Tax-Aide (I only withdrew as a leader), and now home remodeling. 😵‍💫

Yesterday was just that…a full day of paperwork. I think it was 3:00 pm before I changed out of the pajamas so I could feel normal. Lucky nobody stopped over.

I caught the Sugar Bowl midway through and was happy to see the Irish win. A possible National Championship coming?!?! Keep in mind, NIU (my alma mater) beat ND in week 1.

Yesterday had me thinking of ALS vs. Cancer. Our neighbor has cancer and has been going through months of treatments. After many of them she is unable to do much of anything. The treatments may work and that is hopeful. I certainly hope they do.

Then I reflect on my situation with ALS. I feel good, albeit weakened. There is no pain. I can still travel and do so many things. However…in my case we know there is no possible cure and my body will fail in time.

We are both in a shitty situation. However, I’ve always wondered if I had been diagnosed with cancer, would I go through the treatment process and deal with all the side effects or would I bypass the treatment and check things off my 🪣 list??? I don’t know the answer.

Anyway…these are some of the thoughts I have as I fight through the disease. I just thought you might want to know where my head is some days.

Have a great Friday.

Love you guys!❤️
