Let's see what's new in Wigley World.

Youngest daughter who is pregnant moved in with us 10 days ago.
We got to meet the boyfriend who is 21 and 4 years younger than she is.
You know how 21 year old males are but I did push a few buttons and he passed those tests.

One morning I was sitting at the breakfast table and he was just talking and going on non stop which was getting to me. He then ask me if there was anything he could do as payment for staying with us the last 10 days.
I looked at him in all seriousness and said "Silence would be nice."
And then he didn't say a word for the 10 minutes I was on the computer.

Oldest daughter moved back in too as she has boyfriend problems.

So, here I am with a house full of family and all the coming and goings of young people.

I had hoped for peace and quiet since I am sick, and they do try and all to be quiet as they can.
Quiet as they can is the operative phrase here, even when young people are quiet, they are not really quiet. You know how that goes.

Again, I really had hoped it would be the wife and I only, but it is not to be.
On a positive note though, perhaps God helped arrange what is going on, and there is no doubt my children need my guidance.
Having them living with me allows me easier access to them, so perhaps this is the mission, ie that it is necessary for them to be here at my home precisely because they need parenting, and I'm the one to do it.

It is hard to argue with God's plan, so I bite the bullet and carry on. I mean, it's the Just Cause. We all need guidance here and there and I really believe I can help them.

Target date for pregnant daughter to move into an apartment with her boyfriend is May 1st.
He left Saturday and went back to Dallas to work and await a job transfer back her about that time.

Other than that, I continue with the every 2 week infusion of Opdivo and hope it is still working. I get a scan the Thursday before Christmas, so we will see.
As time goes on, the side effects from the Opdivo are beginning to pop up. I am told that it is not uncommon for this drug to be innocuous at first and the side effects to build over time.
It has gotten to the point that after infusion, I am down for the count for a day and half.
Oh well.

I am still fooling around with the firearm hobby.
Why I would order spare Bulgarian AK74 parts like bolt, carrier and recoil spring are beyond me. I mean, I won't live long enough to use them, but still I feel the need to stock parts and ammunition.
While I may go overboard and all, the family who kind of laughs about what I do now, will certainly be very happy when they inherit all my collection, and then it won't seem so silly.
Once I pass away, it would be interesting to see their expressions when they discover everything.
It would be quite a sight.
I mean, I haven't told them everything, so there will be some surprises.
The ammunition collection alone is going to drop jaws.

I can have fun with my firearms and ammunition while on the planet, and I see noting wrong perfecting things as long as I am around.
I mean I am retired and have to have a hobby.

Retired, yes, great.
It's already gotten to the point where it does not matter if it's Tuesday or Friday.

I had to edit this 5 times to correct spelling and missing words and the like.
The Opdivo does that to me.
But hey, I still get it done, don't I?
