NM, I would have had a hard time with the cook too.
Jazzy, I'm doing ok, the rads really did a number on my skin, I stayed home from work a couple days to rest, no weekend plans other than Sunday night dinner with friends.
Sorry to you ladies going through tough times :
Hi to everyone else
-
Ilona, hope your skin feels better soon. Our temple served a nice Côtes du Rhône red at post-services Kiddush.
-
Ill- I had internal rads, therefore, no skin burning but think there are some special cremes for skin you may be able to find. I am a big fan of Vitamin E for healing the skin (helped me after my surgeries).
Chi- I love cote du rhone......

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunday Funday! I had to give in and turn on the heat yesterday, it was still only 55 degrees inside the house at 11 ayem. Just too cold to function. Amazing what only 5 degrees can do to improve the comfort level of a house. Once the sun came out the house warmed up even more, hoping that will happen today, too. Took advantage of the chilly day to re-season the cast iron pots and pans. Game plan for today is to get the kitchen table cleared off so I can set up the dehydrator and start preserving the herbs before the frost gets them.
I also put in an order with a meal packaging company to get myself kick-started cooking again. Need to do something to get me out of the no veggies, whatever is quick and easy rut. Cooking up some meals from a box of ingredients will get me going again, not to mention each meal is 2 servings so I will have one serving to eat and one to pack for a lunch. It's an easy way to try some new things, too. And is works out cheaper than going to the grocery store and getting the stuff for the recipes. Of course, I do play with the recipes they send, too.And Sadie loves it when I cook, she is right underfoot and catches anything that drops or rolls off the counter.
Jazzy--Wow, you have been busy!Good for you! It's really nice when a conference turns out to be interesting and helpful. A midafternoon wine bar is a real plus, that's for sure!I have slowed down this weekend. Sadie isn't knocking things off the counter, and I've got the dirty dishes caught up so that decreases the mousy attraction factor.I will be so happy to get the dishwasher fixed, supposed to happen tomorrow, hoping third try is the charm.The part has been delivered, so I have high hopes. Fall color here is very muted this year. Too dry during the summer, then too wet all at once this fall. Leaves are drying and falling without really turning color much. It may get better now that there have been some very cool nights. The best color comes when the summer and fall have average rainfall, fall has sunny, warm days and cool nights, with breezes but not hard wind. There will be areas inland that will have good color in a few weeks, but the coast is pretty much a bust this year.
Mema--Oh no, so sorry to hear you caught a bug. So not fun. I heard the other day that there were more than 100 cases of confirmed flu in Maine by the middle of September. After my go-round last winter I did get a flu shot this year.The big D is such a pain in the anatomy, especially when you run out of protective undies! Praying you feel better very, very soon. I would be getting pissed waiting this long for the results from the onco, too. I wonder if they know what we go through waiting for them to call us with results that we KNOW are available. There just must be a better way. I suspect Sadie was chasing a mouse, I found mousie poopies on the counter. The mice tend to start moving in this time of year, and I think I heard the pair of owls that live in my area the other night. They start hunting closer to the house at night when the weather starts cooling. Time to check the known mousie holes and make sure they are blocked and look for the new ones. Not one of my favorite fall projects!
Jazzy--I have no issue with people teaching "healthy" or "healthier" eating, but I don't buy into the diet/disease connection. Correlation? Perhaps. Causation? Ain't been proven yet. And as long as medical science does not know what causes cancer in the first place they cannot tell me that diet will make that big a difference. Or exercise. Or avoiding alcohol. But when someone is so blatantly wrong and presenting that info as an expert it irks me. But what am gonna do? Try to let it go and keep chanting, no my circus, no my monkeys. Enjoy the spa!
Chi--it's amazing how potent a drug caffeine is, isn't it? So glad coffee is not hitting the market in the day and age, the FDA would either never approve it as too dangerous or it would be a prescription only drug requiring special training to prescribe, like chemo and some psych medications!
Illi--sorry the rads did a job on your skin. It's been a week or so since rads was done, right? So the fatigue will build for another week or so and then things will start getting better again. Hang in there and keep taking care of yourself.

Good morning friends- the trip to the spa yesterday was just what I needed. I had my massage therapist work on an all over body massage and could not believe how sore and achey I was. He worked a bit on my feet too, but had him focus there less due to the tender toes that are still healing from the vodka injury. It is mostly better, but was sore after too much walking during the conference on Friday.
Rain, rain and more rain. I have not seen rain like this in a long time, but as you know, many communities have been saying that through all horrific storms. Seems like this is a late blast of monsoons, and we are now having communities flood down south that are getting too much at once and there was also a tornado 30 miles to the west of the city. No damage, very rural area. Looks like it will dry out for the next few days but rain returning Wed through Friday. Balloon fiesta starts next Sat and hope the rains will hold off for that (they cannot fly in the rain and/or the winds with storms can keep them down too).
I decided to skip the harvest festival today as it will be more walking than will be good for my foot. Instead, going to stay home to get more caught up on housework and do some cooking too. Another pot of green chili stew and may get some dough going for some quiches. I have a busy week ahead and need some more home time.
NM- I agree about it being good to discuss diet as part of overall wellness. The only food I think has had some linkage is sugar, because too much of it can lead to insulin resistance and that can lead to weight gain, etc. My endocrinologist has told me it is less about the weight gain (which my BS told me was the issue), but more about insulin resistance and cancer linkage. I gave up sugar six months after treatment finished due to increasing A1C that "hit the line" with diabetes and that has helped me to get things more under control. My insulin resistance is getting turned around now with her help and with the weight loss. I know all this helps my overall health, including reducing the risk of future cancer dx, heart attack and stroke. I was very addicted to sugar and only truly realized it after I gave it up completely. But no, cutting out sugar does not ensure I won't have something happen either. I think if you have a belief system about something around who gets cancer, you will always be shocked when it happens. I always knew that cancer struck anyone and no guaruntees. I am a realist.
Too bad about the bum foliage this year. Weather is really off everywhere. Perhaps our new normal too......
Teka- I agree about fall weather and heat. Not every year has good leap peeping?
Got to get to my day and wishing you all a good start to October!

Your music for sunday afternoon. I got some great jazz going on here while working on the house today.
Saw Bill Cantos in Laguna Beach in August. Bought the CD and listening to it today

Nice listening!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monkey Day! Waiting for the dishwasher repair man to come, listening to the news coverage of the shooting in Las Vegas last night. Lots of good all the metal detectors and back pack screenings did there. This guy doesn't seem like the usual shooter, either. I can just imagine the amount of speculation that's going to be going on over the next few weeks.
Looking forward to a nice work week, 2 days of Hospice, 1 day giving flu shots. Been doing a little too much the last couple of weeks and am feeling kind a tired, so going to back off a bit this week and next. Need to take Sadie for some rides, too. And maybe do some baking. I love baking bread this time of year. Smells the house up so good!
Jazzy--Glad to hear the Vodka toes are doing better. Ooh, quiche, I haven't made a quiche in a long time. Will have to think about making one today. I'm glad you were able to get off sugar and have had such good results from that. I've heard the same from other people.
Very nice music!

Just letting you all know that my kids and stepkids are all OK. I kno 1 of the victims was my greatniece Addison, shot in the leg and at a local LV
hospital. I am sick, crying, just can't wrap my mind around this insanity. And the shooter was from here (Mesquite), we didn't know him.
Please stay safe my lovely ladies!!!
-
Mema, I was thinking about you and your proximity to this. I am praying for your neice and she gets good care and is better soon. There is no way to understand this type of thing. Please keep us posted friend.
Sending you and your family much love today on this tragedy
-
Mema, glad you're okay and I hope your niece makes a full and speedy recovery.
Not going to post my DOTD tonight--between the horrific shooting and Tom Petty pulled off life support after a heart attack (he has a DNR order and it's only a matter of time), I think all of us have ample reason to imbibe if that's how we cope with extreme stress. (If I had an MMJ card, which is legal in IL, I would light up and listen to "Mary Jane's Last Dance" in Petty's honor...and in memory of my late friend Maryjane who died in June).
-
Hi girls,
Just popped in to see is Sue reported into the lounge. I too am utterly sickened by the shooting in LV. And omg, when I heard that the shooter was from Mesquite, I immediately thought of you Sue. I am so sorry your great niece was shot. I remember you posted pics of Addison a long time ago if I am not mistaken. Isn't she quite young? I too have a hard time wrapping my head around this one. And I fear too that some crazy sicko will try to top the LV massacre. It is sickening that people can be so cruel and just disregard the life of complete strangers.
I have been uber busy at work. I am still learning the ropes, it is stressful and I can't wait for time to pass so that I fully grasp everything I need to know to do my job. The guy I report to told me not to worry about the faux pau I made.
Had to have another debridement in my stomach and had a slight infection from the string that came out. It was part of some mesh that was placed when I had my diep flap. It was hurting like a mother effer which was the only reason I went to the PS. they freak me out, I am tankful for the one I have here in NJ, he is quite nice and I trust him like no other.
I am happy to share that I will be getting a MMJ card. I got popped last time I was at pain management for having some Willie in my urine. My doctor told me that it would be okay if I could get a note from my phych stating that I have PTSD then I could get a card. I had an appointment the next night and got the note. So I will be going back to pain mgmt on Friday to find out how to proceed with the MMJ. I am so furcited. I jest love love love mese willie!
NM, not sure how you bit your tongue when that woman gave the nutrition lecture and advised if we ate right, we'd avoid BC. I'd have to tell her to STFU or something. Really lady? You go Kim!
I will try to check back with everyone in the next few days. I miss all you girls so much. Between work, redoing my kitchen and having play time with Logan, I do not have much spare time. After hearing today's news, I had to check in. Sending prayers for you Sue and your community and especially Addison. Hope and pray she makes a full recovery. I will be praying for the rest of the victims and their families as well.
Love you girls.
cheErS!

Hi my breasties,
What a day eh? It's been just cray cray. My phone has been ringing all day, peeps wanting to kno if I knew the officer killed or the others that were wounded. I don't have names of the officers so I couldn't ans them. Did talk to my DD as she was on her way back into work todat. She worked 16 hours yest and only got 2 hours sleep last night. But she did say she was very proud of her crew and others who came in off-duty to help on the phones. It was so busy they lost the phone system for a few minutes, then the power and a/c. She said there was over 50 911 calls in que. I can relate. I was there working when the MGM fire happened. It was NUTZ in dispatch. Just an over-all hi-stress (more than normal) night. I told her I was writing an email to the Sheriff and news agencies about 'kudos' for all dispatchers, police, fire, and medical. I already sent the one to the Sheriff. We will see how he handles it.
Dara - that pic was of out granddaughter, Madison. Addison is my DD's cousin on my dh's side. She is very close to Addie's mom, who is also a cop at Metro. My step-son sent a text with a pic of her leg. She is going to have surgery tomorrow. I'm praying for all who have been affected by this asinine caper. Hate to say it, as forgiveness is a virtue, but I am glad the f'n coward killed himself when SWAT showed up at his hotel door. Save lots of anguish not to have to put him on trial, imo.
Had a few dwinks, now gotta get my ewwa to bed without cracking another rib...UGH.
Love you all and thank you for your thoughts and prayers!!!

Oh I miss u gals--these days have been running by with --craziness.
SusyQ OMG I can't believe u'r niece was shot will she make a full recovery??? These things are so unbelievable to me, it seems like u can't go anywhere, it just makes me sick. I hope u'r bug is gone and all is good with results.
Kim I don't think u can help u'rself when it comes to helping people, that's just you.
I'm sorry I'm not addressing everyone tonite I'm super floopy, I'm usually just plain.Hoping Leslie's infection clers up soon, she should be getting her port next Mon. and start Chemo the same week. As of now her BIGGEST concern is loosing her hair, so she's going all over trying to find the perfect wig to style, so it has to be long. I don't say nything hoping that this is the biggest thing that will happen.
LUBS U ALL
-
Dara, cancer is not a qualifying condition for an MMJ card in NJ, but PTSD is? Just the opposite in IL.
-
Sandy, you are partially correct. Some cancers/stages do qualify as well as PTSD. Here is the link from my pain management doctors that shows who may be eligible:

Hope you sleep well, Sue. And hope too that you are feeling better ((((SUE)))

Good morning, Loungettes!Happy Twofer Tuesday! Finally have my dishwasher back in working condition! Yeah! Still no word from the garage repair folks. Harvested some herbs yesterday and have them in the dehydrator, also have some chopped up herbs in oil and butter in the freezer. Used some herbed butter I made a while back to fry up some ribeye for dinner last night, very yum. Got my gizmo charging station set up and running. And the Dumpster is full and ready for pickup today. I'm really happy with how the kitchen and living room are looking. Sadie is being a big help when I'm puttering in the kitchen, making sure everything that goes into the trash can is rinsed or lapped off so nothing will smell. Now if I could get her to put the stuff back in the trash can when she's done with it. . .
Mema--such a relief to know you are safe.So sorry about Addison, praying she recovers quickly and without complications. Such a scary, crazy thing that man did. I hope authorities can figure out why he did this. I'm betting there is mental illness involved.
Chi--it's been a difficult few days all the way around.
Dara--learning the ropes at a new job can be stressful. Glad your boss is ok with the faux pas, that should be a bit of a relief for you. I cannot believe that you are having issues with the recon even now. I'm glad the string is out, hope there are no more issues with the mesh. You had such a time with that in the first place, so not fair to still be dealing with it. Glad you are getting and MMJ card, too. Sounds like it will make a huge difference for you in the long run. I bet Logan is a blast to be with now.
Mema--good for you for writing to the Sherriff and new agencies. Those people working "behind the curtain" are critical to the whole response effort, and will be working their butts off for a while.
Cammy--I am praying that Leslie finds a wig she can style, and has no side effects from chemo beyond losing her hair (which is bad enough, after all) and sails through this whole thing. And that your days have less craziness soon.

Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Hump Day! Going into town to do a flu clinic for some city workers in a bit, then got an afternoon open. Getting the itch to do some baking, may do that when I get home. Haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll take Sadie for a short walk, and get the walking program started. Will see what I feel like doing when I get home.
Sadie is having a grand time chasing off the local dog-teasing squirrel. She's running herself tired and then coming to me for petting and loving when she doesn't catch him. Poor abused baby!
My cousin and her husband live in Las Vegas and keeping up a running commentary on the reaction and how things are going there. So much shock, so much anger, so much fear, and so much generosity and so much thoughtfulness.My cousin works at Zappos, they are all given all the time off, with pay, they need to process what happened and connect or reconnect with family and friends, and have counselors in the building 24/7 for anyone needing to talk. Her husband works at the Mirage, and most of the hotels on and off the strip are giving free rooms to family members flying in to be with injured family members. Airlines are giving free air fare to family members trying to get to LV to be with injured family members. The lines outside the blood donation centers are hours long, some centers are staying open 24 hours. Local restaurants and shops are regularly bringing free food, water, coffee to people waiting in line to donate.My cousin, who waits in line for NOTHING, waited in line for 6 hours to donate blood. It's just amazing.
Cammy-- nope, not stopping now, on a roll with the decluttering. It's amazing to have so much more room, and frighteningly amazing how much room clutter takes up. I'm getting my house back!

Good morning friends- been hard to write here about things going on in my life, when many others are struggling and suffering right now. That being said, I am always impressed how citizens show up to help in the worst of times during natural disaster and other events. Per NM's note, I have also heard and read how much the Vegas community and airlines are helping people in need in Vegas right now.
Mema- I believe your grand neice is having her surgery today and keeping her and all of you in my heart today as you wait to hear she is out of surgery and on the mend. Praying for a solid recovery through time.
NM- I am glad to hear your Vegas family is okay and stepping up to help with blood donations sister.
Cami- chaos everywhere is right sister. Hope things are going okay at home.
Dara- good to hear from you and hope your incisions are better soon and good to hear your work is going well too! Congrats on getting the MJ card too!
Got lots to do today and another conference the next two days so I will catch up with you gals again this weekend.
Until then, be safe my people

Morning Ladies.
My niece is doing well. Started PT yesterday and hopefully will be able to go home in a day or two.
POTUS just touched down in LV. My DD, her captain, n the two dispatchers that worked the radio that night, will be at Police Head quarters today while the Pres is here. Cudn't find emails for the news stations but did fire off one to Metro's Sheriff. Looks like dispatch is going to get some good recognition after all. Got recorder set for all 3 news stations, mayb shud record CNN too?
I'm feeling much better, thanks for all your kind words and prayers. Am so blest to have you ladies to vent to, I'll hold you all forever in my heart.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Thirsty Thursday! Was going to do some baking when I got back from the flu clinic yesterday, sat down for a minute and fell sound asleep! I didn't sleep well the night before, but I didn't think I was THAT tired! Only woke up when I really, really had to pee. Not sure what all that's about, but whatever.That nap felt sooooo goood. Especially with Sadie lying on my feet. Hospice day today, got to be ready to say something about the overloaded day and get it backed down if that hasn't happened already.
Jazzy--it is a strange time, isn't it? I'm trying to stay focused on the stories of people helping, like the nurse from Bangor that's in Puerto Rico for 2 weeks as part of a network of nurses who respond to disaster areas to help. Makes it easier.
Mema--Hooray for niece's surgery going well!Praying for quick recovery and very effective PT. Glad DD and her department is getting well deserved recognition. Probably couldn't hurt to record CNN, too! And you can come vent anytime. That's part of what the HTL is all about, after all!

Went out for fish & chips last night, so I had a 2015 Sancerre. Yum! Reheating Tues. night's leftover ribeye, so will probably have some Burgundy or a California Pinot Noir. Still have half a bottle of LaSpinetta "Casanova" super-Tuscan, but it's sort of acidic. Just got a new aerator to fit over my Coravin's spout (and may double-aerate by pouring it through a Vinturi), so perhaps the acid will mellow.
-
Hi ladies, Jest checking in to see if more from MemaSue, glad to hear your niece is doing well, Sue. Continued prayers coming at her. Glad you are feeling better too.
NM, thanks for the updates from your cousin in Vegas. So nice to hear all of the nice things that employers and other companies are doing to help those in need. Big kudos to zappos, I shall forever hold them in my heart as the best online retailer ever. If you recall, they sent me flowers after my Mom;s death and did not require that I return a pair of shoes that were late being shipped back. Comapies like this really still exist!! Nice feeling.
Hello to everyone else, missing Lori in these parts, hoping she is having a nice getaway.
cheeRs girls.

I'll be having a glass or two of red tonight to wash down the news of the 5 lesions to my cerebellum that I found out about from last nights MRI. Had a migraine last week, which are not new to me but this one lasted several days. More scans tomorrow, then meeting with MO and Neuro docs on Monday.
-
Oh, Ilona, I'm so sorry! But if you're prone to migraines, better switch to white wine, beer, cider or booze instead. Red wine has tyramines, which could trigger migraines.
