I’m glad it’s the Winter Solstice and we can start getting lighter in the afternoons and mornings. It doesn’t really start to turn around much til January but still.

I’m thankful for our walk this morning. Very mild temperature and misty.

I’m grateful my 2nd shot went well and I am now set up for the monthly maintenance starting at the very end of January. I’m still not sure if this is the best course of action as it might lead to getting more resistant to Velcade. I plan on asking in the Facebook group what are people’s experiences on monthly and for how long.

I’m grateful I prepped most of Christmas dinner. I made the cheese spinach manicotis yesterday with home canned tomato sauce. I have a meat lasagna from Costco for meat eaters. We had one a while back and it was surprisingly very good. I went to Trader Joe’s yesterday after infusion and got Christmas specialty foods like the fondue for Christmas eve, a baked brie( something new to try) , some gluten free things for my daughter and whatever jumped in my cart. It came up at $123 so pretty good and that’s all the money spent this week. So no/low spend will continue into next week. Just basics, gas, food, essentials.

Our cash reserves are pretty low so I’m grateful to get SS next week.
