Plumbing Problems

 Awoke yesterday to a blockage in the drainpipes, no fun at all. I attempted to clear the clog without success. Called a plumber who arrived in the early evening. It was cold and dark but he was able to locate the problem and clear it.

Shoveled out a section of the driveway so I could open the gate to allow the plumber in. It is a fairly long driveway. Then I had to clear an area around the gate so it could open. Searched everywhere for a snow shovel, it was in the outside closet, I really could have used it to get to the closet.

Snow boots would have helped, of course they are at my house. I hadn't expected this much snow and only had my walking shoes.

Here are a few pictures I took at sunrise this morning.

Sunrise 11/6/24

 Awoke to a beautiful sunrise, snowstorm moving in today. Went to see the Charlie Overbey Band last night at the Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid New Mexico. They are the opening band for ZZTop tonight in Rio Rancho. My friend Lance, who is the keyboardist in Charlie's band is attempt to get me a backstage pass for the show. Though it depends on the weather, whether I will make the drive.

Great News

 

Snow covered Ortiz Mountains where I live.

I was contacted by my oncologist’s office and was informed that they had been able to remove all of the cancerous cells during the biopsy. That, along with the chemo they filled my bladder with should take care of the situation.

Monday Update

 Called my doctor’s office first thing this morning and talked to them. They said that my report wasn’t in their file, but they’re going to look for it and have the doctor get back to me as soon as possible. The report was posted late Friday and my doctor was not in the office on Friday.

Had some snowfall last night here a couple pictures from up by my house. From the reports that I’m receiving, it is still snowing up there. Where I’m staying we have had a bit of snow mostly rain and the snow is not sticking.

Lone Butte

 I am staying closer to town for awhile. I will be calling my oncologist first thing Monday to go over the results of the biopsy and treatment options. Positive Thoughts.

Yesterday, I went, by my house, to get my laptop so I can develop pictures while I am here. I checked my mail, I have been waiting to receive a box of Sweenor's Chocolates from my friend in Rhode Island, it arrived. Just what the doctor ordered for my recovery.
