Yes and do so quite often. It doesn't take much time. Plus, occasionally the Red Cross will have some sort of donation back to me (CBJ tix, gift card, ...)
Homeowner by myself. I mow my lawn, clean snow, simple car maintenance, take care of the house (clean, cook, etc), tend a veg garden, some house maintenance, take care of widowed neighbor's lawn. Essentially as much as I can.
I've got an Oakley Timebomb watch that I got as a gift. I wear it when I go out / special function.
Other than that I have a Garmin activity, Swiss Army day/date, and Swatch chrono watches.
My neighbor is a vet. He preaches about getting a mixed breed dog - lots less issues. One alternative is to look at a local chapter of a service dog training center. Some of those dogs do not pass the final grade outs and become available for adoption.
I was diagnosed with melanoma 15 years ago. Was caught very early - fortunate. Thoughts and power to you
Positives
You learn a lot about yourself and what you can deal with / tolerate
You develop an appreciation for simple things
You will love your nurses / doctors (Take care of these folks as they have to work with this every day)
When finished with your treatment you will be a proponent for research / treatment
PM if you need to talk. Stay strong.
Good deal that you have Buffalo Trace on hand. Have to be at the liquor store when it arrives here in OH to get your hands on it.
Highly recommend the Woodford Reserve. Another good one, out of Utah, is High West.
I've used AirBnB personally once. Chicago area - 2 nite stay - $80 a nite. Clean, close to the train line, couldn't ask for more.
My folks rented a flat in Williamsville for the month of August a couple of years ago. Turned out awesome.
The change of season (limited amount of daylight) may have something to do with it. Make sure you are getting enough exercise. Monitor / limit the amount of alcohol. Melatonin is a good suggestion. Meditation is a good mechanism to help with your sleep.
I have President Reagan and Dennis Conner on the cover of Sports Illustrated after D Conner won the America’s Cup back from Australia.

I got Arnold Palmer to sign a 80th birthday card for my ex FIL
Fingers crossed Kirby. One tip from my paternal grandmother when I bought my first house. Don't start a project with the house until the first one is finished.
