The second anniversary of my combined cancer+afib diagnosis is coming up in April. Both conditions were successfully treated, and there continue to be follow-up appointments to ensure all is well. I need to decide what I want to do in whatever time is left for me to do it.

The Last Washer and Dryer I’ll Ever Need!
If the new LG washer and dryer last seventeen years, like the old ones from Maytag did, they’ll undoubtedly outlast me.
There’s barely 1/16 of an inch clearance between the opened lid and the cabinets!
Update: pulling the washer out a little opened up the gap.
Fun fact: The bezel around the opening for the plumbing fixture was white when it was installed 25 years ago, and I didn’t paint it to match the wall.
A Pratt Worthy of the Name
Robert Pratt, Federal Judge Who Derided Trump Pardons, Dies at 78
He was chastised for remarks ridiculing the pardons of two congressional campaign aides who had been convicted in a bribery plot.
I used to think I’d go the same way as Judge Pratt*, dropping dead while exercising. But now, I don’t think so. All of the tests that were done in preparation for the very successful ablation a year ago showed my heart is in excellent shape. I’m more inclined to bet on the cancer returning and taking me out.
* Author Douglas Adams and comic book artist Herb Trimpe died from exercise-induced heart attacks.
Wash ‘n’ Buy
I’m on my way to Best Buy to do some buying:
Follow-up: They’re scheduled for delivery and installation on Tuesday.
Blog Outlasts Washing Machine!
Seventeen years ago: “Our washing machine has suddenly started to leak.”
Today: The washing machine I bought in 2008 has suddenly started leaking.
