      First round of chemo yesterday.  Got sent home with infusion pump to be removed tomorrow.  A little inconvenient having a tube with bulb hanging out of your upper chest, but learning little tricks to keep it out of the way and not get tangled up in it, especially when sleeping.

       

      Went prepared for my session with Kindle app and Netflix shows downloaded, but I quickly learned the trick to dealing with 4 - 5 hours of downtime is get little or no sleep the night before and you sleep right through your session.  They got my IV started, I kicked back in the recliner and I was out.  I faded in and out the rest of the time, once to kick my shoes off.

       

      @Frozenoem , unfortunately on the night of the Blood Moon, it was rainy and cloudy and it would have been a lot closer and earlier than the last time I saw the lunar eclipse which was a tiny dot at 4 in the morning waaay up there in the sky. 🙁🌘

        Blood moon night it poured here, with fog no pictures for me either.

         

        Last night? Snow, hail and rain - WMNF extinguished by rangers and FD or haven’t heard different. Been busy with scanners and listening for alerts.

         

        No one has called 👍, missed my bed and sleep, adrenaline only works so long.Time to buy gas for house lawnmower, my environmentally safe gas can froze open at some point last winter.

         

        Only good news for me is I can use chainsaw and remain upright if required😀, in short bursts. Learning to take the good with the bad , in this maturity bs.

         

        Knowledge of oncology coming from friends experiences.All have said it took only a bit to figure out passing out skills.The joy of life in a small town is wait a minute and you find out who’s been treated for what lately.

         

        Took 10 minutes to find 20 people who had pacemakers installed and what to expect, Covid and pacemaker 2 people , hurry up, tests and wait for numbers to drop.😀

        And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

          I am still being haunted by expensive things breaking.  Yesterday it was my mac mini unexpectedly died after 2 years.  No extended warranty.  I do not like to take it in due to all the info on it.  Limping along with old old windows laptop, ipad, very old iphone.   It take all three to get done what i used to get done every morning.   My car is also on last leg.  Hopefully my health is not.  @MsStretch   Thinking of you, I know it is no fun to have those experiences you are having.  @Frozenoem  Sounds like you are looking forward to better health in the near future.  Hope so.

            Wow, @LaDolceVita , you're having heckuva bad string of luck.  At least, your AC is back up running.  We are also going through the heat wave today complete with all those dire "unusual weather" warnings. 🥵  Good day and excuse for being a lazy bum today. 😁

                Working really hard to pack and clean.  Getting used to everything breaking 😅.   Still do not have a furniture moving date.   Keep packing the car and making trips.  Easier than the truck, and at least nothing can fly out.  Amazing how much a minivan will hold with the middle seats taken out. 

                 

                 @Frozenoem   I am not able to boot up in safe mode even.   Not able to spend much time on playing with it, have to keep moving until I cannot move any more.   @MsStretch   Hope you continue to do well!

                  @LaDolceVita 

                   

                  Well if you send me the model # of Mac mini and operating system name.Only requirement other than that is what your back up is on😀.

                   

                  I can send you instructions for how to get to safe mode, even if Mac doesn’t want to go there.

                      While we had heavy rains and winds there was little damage compared to most of Wisconsin.

                      POST STORM DAMAGE IS THE WORD HERE IN WISCONSIN — Much of Wisconsin was under severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings throughout Wednesday.

                      As severe weather continued to move throughout the state, we gathered damage reports. 

                      As of 8:40 a.m. Thursday, there were at least 89,600 people without power in the state.

                      Shortly after 4pm on Wednesday, a tornado was reported east of Tomah

                       

                      Multiple semis were blown over onto their sides on I90

                       

                      No deaths or major injuries have been reported.

                       

                      There is wide spread power outage and damage to a number of homes

                      After reviewing video, in addition to a discussion with the local Germantown Police Chief and a review of witness reports on social media, we are confirming that an EF0 tornado occurred about 3 miles northeast of Germantown in Washington County, or about 18 miles north northwest of Milwaukee.

                      Live updates: Watertown got nearly 6 inches of rain from Wednesday storms

                      USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin staff

                      A severe weather outbreak tore across a large area of Wisconsin on Wednesday, including most or all of the state's largest population centers, including Milwaukee, Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Wausau, Madison, La Crosse and Eau Claire. Here are damage updates as they come in:

                       

                      Hale the size of golf balls.

                       

                       

                       

                       

                      Jason Haasch sent in these storm damage pictures from Howard just outside Green Bay.

                        @DaveMcK...  Holy cow, Dave, I sure hope you guys were safe and didn't suffer any damage or injuries. Those reports and photos are scary. 

                        We just had some very heavy thunderstorms for a few hours this morning...nothing bad.

                        You take care.

                        Hope the rest of the Front Porch is doing well, too.

                          Good morning to everyone out there on the Front Porch. Hoping you are enjoying your Summer be it gardening, going to the farmer's market, having a picnic in a local park with friends and family or a day trip to a favorite place.

                          Please stop by and share what you been doing.  Do you have any fun plans for the 4th of July?

                          Enjoy your Summer!
