Great way to start the weekend


Almost nine years ago, the first symptoms I experienced that eventually led to the diagnosis of CNS lymphoma seemed to be visual. I found I was increasing the font size on everything and still having trouble reading it. It turned out that my visual acuity had not changed, but that this was a cognitive issue caused by the cancerous growth in my brain. Although the cancer is gone, the deficit caused by the damage remains. So early on Barry bought me a large monitor for my computer. But lately that monitor was behaving badly, in that it would keep “losing” the signal from the computer. After living with this and kvetching about it for a number of months, all the while insisting that I did not want to spend money on a new monitor, Barry ordered one which he set up early this morning. What a wonderful difference! And as an added benefit, the quality of this monitor is quite a bit better than the old one. I am very happy and grateful for how well he takes of me.

I have two videos to share this morning. The first came from yesterday’s daily update from New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, reassuring folks about the safety of the COVID vaccines and encouraging vaccination.



The second was shared by my friend Randy, a terrific version of Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah” for our times.




With this post, I will likely hit 80,000 views on this blog! Thanks for continuing to follow my ramblings.

Enjoy, and have a great and healthy weekend.

Love,
