Do try Britbox.   You can cancel at any time.  I pay $6.99 a month and really enjoy it.

It has all the Agatha Christie shows & movies, and a bunch of other comedy & more serious Who Done It Crime shows.   Shakespeare & Hathaway, Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and Sherlock Holmes come to mind quickly.  But there are tons of others that are worth your time.  I watch while I sew.

I tend to watch things I have already seen when I sew.  that was I kinda know what is going on and don't miss the new stuff-LOL, and get sewing done!

I called it "filing by piling.". A couple years when I was teaching, I had to stack all my hand-outs against the walls of my way-too-small office.

Ok you really are a desert rat!  Lol

we used to do the same!  It was a 15 min walk from the house to the town pool. Mom was sick and tired of buying us new sandals so she would tell us “ok you need to lock up your shoes” we’d forget and stolen again. Then she gave us stricter rules, well we just didn’t wear shoes, ever. We would run from patch of grass to patch of grass or use the corner of our towels to stand on for a break. 
hated shoes, still do, but now I have to even wear the flip flops inside, the floors to hard on my back. 
if we got really hot we’d just run up in somebodies yard and turn on the hose and cool down. 

I sure hope the treatments are getting easier as you go. I have seen how hard those are with my Grandmother with the same illness.
But your a trooper like she was.  She did ok until they told her her life expectancy was 6 months. That just made her mad, well she outlived that by over 11 years!  She said the Lord was the only one with that information. 
 

I didn’t have to have the spinal test thank goodness.  It sounds like you’re holding your own right now. Lots of prayers my friend. ;0)

oh this is very weird...did you notice my name on the forum changed? not sure how or why...I haven't even signed off  or on for a long time!! - ***wait...when I posted...it came out right...but you replied to SuzeN1?? sigh...gremlins in the forum again...

***************

the treatments are really kicking me...I have been very lethargic and super dizzy since last Thursday...all I really want to do is sleep. I am in cycle 4...

I did email my MM doc and he said I was ready for the Stem Cell Replacement...oh lordy...I am SOOOO not ready for that...they started scheduling me for next month...so I emailed him back and said that was way too soon for that step - I am not even sure I WANT to do that step. So I continue on the same schedule til July when I go to see him...and only after I see what my latest Bone Marrow Biopsy results are will I decide if I want to go thru with it...

And I hear you on the life expectancy...our days are numbered, but only God knows when our expiration is up. Glad your Grandmother outlived the expectancy...

Good that you didn't have to have the spinal test...I have heard those are rough...

Sending prayers for you too..

The weirdest part was I noticed your name was different but it had your regular picture so I thought it was you. 
 

it’s a good thing for you to wait until your appt. and get your result on the bone marrow before the stem cell treatment. You might not need it. But man has technology expanded!!!  Thank goodness it has! Prayers abound.

ROTFL- yes, we would go down to the Circle K on the corner of Bell Road. Quite a walk, and patches with no grass to stand on.  We would be running by the end.  I still don't like wearing shoes, and will usually go barefoot most of the time.

We also would go in the culvert drains under Black Canyon Highway and see how far we could get before the black widows got too thick. Yes, I was a desert rat for sure!!

And that was ok? Now you'd get yelled at for stepping in the yard, some places. But all of your story sounds like television to me. I never left the house without a parent, wore anything but good sturdy tennis shoes anywhere (including the house) and we weren't allowed to go out to play.

Now, tho, I wear shoes a lot inside the house because I get pain if I don't.
