My lab results were good.  No cancer! I don't want to sound like a hypochondriac, just want to share my good news. I still have Barrett's Esophagus   and take medication for it, so far so good.  I'll get an endoscopy every two years to check up on it. Here's a link to explain it: Barrett's Esophagus: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments It's great news just before Christmas! 😀

I set the base of the stove on "furniture cups" to protect the carpet. The Finished Project I used a small lamp with a dim bulb to let the stove act as a decorative lamp stand.   The stove is a deep black and I couldn't get the details to show in this photo. The hardest part after moving the heavy sections of the stove was inserting four screws and nuts to prevent it from shaking.  Finding the right sizes and reaching into the stove made it difficult. But now I'm finished. 

I'm scrubbing the stove parts with only warm water.  The black paint I used years ago is still good so that's all it needed.  It will look real, not too shiny but still clean and black. I washed the small parts in the sink. I like the flower and vertical design. Here's something I didn't notice before I started cleaning. "Union Manufacturing Boyertown, PA" Next I'll have to buy furniture cups to protect the carpet from the heavy cast iron stove.  Then put the stove back together in the basement den.

A few quotes about nothing.  I tend to plan to be always doing something.  Feeling guilty about wasting time or missing out has a lot to do with it.   When I do spend time without specific plans I enjoy it. Maybe setting aside more time to just exist would be good. Any thoughts?

I like this video but I'm not following the site because it seems to be mostly a way to sell her books.  There's nothing wrong with that but I don't want to lure you into her web.😉 I could not download the video. The only way was to link to Facebook. If you're not signed into Facebook you may get this screen.    But you can check off "Not Now". It's about 10 minutes long. Here's the link to the video.
