Mornin' ladies,
Well we had about 6 ins. of snow then melted and now thunderstorms all in 48 hrs. No sun yet.
SuzyQ u r one busy woman, I have no clue how u do it but I'm so glad u can. I just pray all this chemo does exactly what it should and knowing u it will.
Teka that looked like a big ole' bullfrog to me. Sorry about ur colds, I hate colds so just take stuff and REST.
JC I'm horrible at doing pics, I can only do them from google, cuz I don't even know how to take one with my phone.
Oh I always loved the steroid high, lasted about 2 days and then it was the longest days I worked and I was better than ever, of course the rest of the week I was useless. LOL
Kim Ur getting the sunny days finally. Quite a few peeps showed up for the classes which is great but I know u are the best, for sure.
Jazzy u sound good and happy with ur job this time. And I think u said til the end of the yr. That's really great. And doing yardwork too. Jeez.
All of u who garden I give u credit even if nothing was wrong. That's a hard job and u have to do it to keep things looking good.
Lori I pray ur DD is doing well and following instructions.
Sandy u've weathered a lot when u go to perform, u are one of those the show must go on and u live it. It's so nice u and Jazzy have this talent that lasts a lifetime but I know u both worked very hard for it.
Oh my ER story is as goofy as usual. I'l try to make it short. I missed an app't , my dr. went on vacay and she's the only one that can give me a script cuz my contract is with her only. I had no pain meds pain getting worse but of course my diarrhea came like a thunderstorm <wickedly> Totally dehydrated my pot was way off. After they took some tests, hooked me with fluids and morphine flowing well into my body and a pills right away. I think I'm a legal junkie now. Sent Leslie home she wasn't feeling great called her when they released me. OK I'm leaving out the accident my ambulance was involved in, the next day Dan got all involved in a whole thing with my meds, but took care of everything and cuz I hadn't eaten brought me nature bars one bluberry and something with raisons 2 things I hate.And leaving out my story of how I told my ER Dr. he was sexy and I would go for him if I looked good and 10 yrs younger, hey he held my hand that was a rush for me. And of course the barrage of things to the paramedics mey they knew me so it was easy. Les was glad to go home cuz all she does is put her head down and just nods right to left cuz of my mouth. When I did start answering the phone I could have sworn the ear piece told me Bob <we always talk a lot> and I said What the Ef do u want now, and I heard in a sheepish voice a plumber, Oy vey I had to double talk that one but we got the job so no harm. Now that was my short version.
See now I've bored u enough to take a nap, well I bored myself too.

OOOOOO I'm all wet, Lori pushed me right in our pewl. LORI BOWLING??? She for one second considered it??? I told u she's like her mom. Wow good thing she didn't go, oh is she like u.
Please let us know exactly word for word what ur Dr. says, u know I have to hear it that way. <<<PRAYERS>>>

Cami, I wanted to beat her butt! So glad her friends chimed in and agreed with me! Anyways, the water is warm and we have our lifeguard to keep an eye on us, to make sure we don't drown!

Speaking of Vegas, DH and will be there tomorrow through Thursday morning. I’m crossing Gordon Ramsay’s Beef Wellington from Hell’s Kitchen off my bucket list.
There should be some pretty cocktails too!
-
Well poop, gonna miss Sue and Illimae! And just by a few days
-
Ilona, the restaurants in Vegas are getting better & better. Have fun and bon appetit!
Lori, 13 people showing up was pretty good, considering the venue owner didn't think anyone would come out in the snowstorm. We've been invited back.
Cami, your ambulance was in an accident with you in it? Oy! Thought stuff like that only happens on Chicago Fire!
DOTD, with pizza--more of that dry rosé.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Twofer Tuesday! Mother Nature is back to gray and gloomy, but at least the sun is coming up early enough that I'm not getting up in the dark. Sadie seemed to want to sleep in a bit this ayem, but she was very busy yesterday playing in the mud and supervising theneighborhood. Now if it would just warm up a bit more, 40's and 50's is just a bit chilly for my taste.20's predicted for tonight. They've skipped over frost warnings and gone straight to saying things may freeze over. Sigh.
OK, I am shaking my head.The news is reporting on a dump truck crash yesterday ayem.The dump truck swerved to avoid hitting cars stopped for a crosswalk and drove in the side of a house. How fast was that guy going in that 25 mph zone to have to swerve intohouse to avoid stopped cars on a straight stretch of road in the middle of a town???????
Morning, Cammy Cat!
Goldie--I will be more involved with the orientation of new nurses, but not doing all of it. The Human Resources Director has a very nice system set up that gets all new folks through all the mandatory educationand paperwork things before they start working with the residents, then they spend a week or so working with a current nurse. Right now the new folks are learning the computer system as they go through that week, and it doesn't seem to be working very well. The Director of Nursing is looking into getting a Train the Trainer session for the facility so that 3 or 4 of us can be formally (and correctly) trained on the computer use, my goal is to have one of those people be doing the computer training going forward, and to have some amount of time dedicated to computer training. I still cannot believe that the facility was not given ONE printed user manual to have in the building for reference. Just crazy!Glad your daughter has friends that are looking out for her! Pool is a much better choice than bowling for her right now. Remind her that it takes as much as 3 months for cut muscles to heal completely, and limiting activity now will prevent a hernia and lots of trouble later, not to mention decreasing pain during healing. Praying the lab are good.
Cammy--6 inches of snow and then thunderstorms? What a wild weather ride that was! Holy schmoly what an episode! I guess that proves the diarrhea is controlled by the drugs, and the diarrhea causes all kinds of problems. And the ambulance was in an accident on the way in? No one hurt, I hope? So crazy is your life!
Ooh, nice Lifeguard!What's his name?Is there enough of him to go around or does he have helpers?
Ili--Wish I was sharing the Beef Wellington with you, always wanted to try that!Be sure to come back and leave a detailed review!
Chi--Pizza and rose, a great combo!

Cami and Sandy, I think you guys are now getting a ton of rain?
NM, glad Sadie is at least supervising the neighborhood! You must be loving your new job. I shared with my DD what you said. She said thank you. My TM's are up, just as I suspected, so probably change to a new treatment, which I really am not ready to do. I think we have enough for everyone?

Chisandy, this feels like a silly question to me, but, as a sleep aid, do you put cbd oil under your tongue and leave it there or swich it around and spit it out? Also, just a little in the dropper? I have Charlottes Web and one other bought a while ago at Botannica in Evanston, but forgot to ask. And does it actually help with sleep
-
TUESDAY BOOK CLUB -
I put the CBD oil under my tongue and wait 30-60 sec. before swallowing it, along with the inevitable extra saliva it helps release (anything I put in my mouth--even my Invisalign or dental floss--makes me salivate more). The reason to wait is to optimize absorption by the oral mucosa, which is thinnest under the tongue, and get into your bloodstream faster. Swallowing what remains does send it through the digestive system, where part of it gets broken down by enzymes & acids and passes through the liver en route to excretion. But it beats spitting it out. And it definitely helps me with sleep.
Sprinkling now, but soaking rains are due later today. My herb garden could use it.

Mornin' ladies,
Welcome Key and as far as I am concerned u have come to the right place for any questions u have, but come back and visit too.
Well Kim u are really going to town at work. U r so involved and I'm sure in ur very loving way. And as usual I just think of Sadie and I crack up.
Lori I'm sorry about ur counts. U have to start a whole new regime??? This is tough o u and I see why, U know all <<<prayers>>> I send for u. BTW u are the one who keeps us well saved by ur lifeguards, all good.
Illi ur going away again, well one thing I know we'll see some fun pics of drinks. Be safe and have a great time!!!
My brother is having a pacemaker put in at 5PM tonight. Oh would I hate to wait that long, he's already ikn the hospital then he's going to a rehab after. I know they don't wait to long now, so he'll be ther soon I guess. Sandy he's going to Marion Joy <Sandy knows where that is> LOL
Sandy everytime I've had to be taken by an ambulance it's always something goofy happens, that's why they all remember me. Even in the ER they've said it's either me or they're having a crzy night. I don't know why, I say it's them,they say it's me. Oh well.
OK my pho ne have been going and my niece will be here soon. so I'd better get ready for my shower.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Hump day, and Happy May Day! Getting up to sunshine again, hoping it will stay a while, pretty sure it won't.I'm looking at the sunlight and ignoring the frost. Yes, frost. And the weather people are talking about places with wind chills to 19 degrees this ayem. It was kind of funny to see Sadie disappear into a cloud of steam as she was peeing this ayem, though!
Goldie--oh, yum! That should be enough for everyone, at least most of the time! I'm calling dibs on the 3rd one from the right!I know it's hard for your DD to remember that she is still healing when she probably feels really well. She's lucky to have people looking out for her. Sorry to hear about the TMs.
Morning, Keywestfan!
Morning, Cammy Cat!
Morning, Chi!
Cammy--I had my first "Oh shit, what have I gotten myself into??" moment at work yesterday. I was writing down all the things I need to do in May, looked it over and it was a LONG list! Then I started getting things onto my calendar and realized it wasn't so bad after all. And I do love the work, and the feeling that I am actually making a difference and am appreciated. Sorry to hear about your brother needing a pacemaker, but glad he's going to rehab, that can be a big help.

HAPPY MAY DAY -
Mornin ladies,
Isn't today also some kind of like Law May Day or am I really screwed up.
OK Sandy what's wrong??? U poop in and just say what u think u need to say and that's it. I'm used to u explaining and talking more, ur being to quiet. R u all right???
Kim see as soon as u get everything under control u can always make it doable. Now that's the Kim I know and Love. U r such a special lady, I told u before I wish u lived next door to me, u know how many trips u'd save me to the hospital LOL Boy would u distant me from ur life.
Well my brother is doing all right <took some time getting out of being put out> but otherwise OK BUT I think I told u my SIL <his wife> is going thru dementia OMG she's so so mean, but she was the one that was always not very nice anyway.. She's called friends of theirs and told the wife that my SIL knows where my brother is and she's not telling her cuz she knows they've been constantly fooling around with hi, They live in another state. So our friend keeps calling my niece trying to figure out what she's talking about. Plus my SIL says there's all kinds of porn my brother has thru the house. No one has seen it but her. I told my sister wow at 85 he's really having fun. She treats her own DD like chit and she's just trying to help/ My nephews son will be getting married within the next few weeks and no one wants her there, believe she has a crazy mouth on her and it's all mean, really mean. Well we''ll see what happens. My brother is probably happy he's away from her, but the kids are stuck at this time.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Relax--I'm fine. Just had a few busy days, including a couple of days ago when ComEd robo-called and gave me only 20 min. notice that my power would be out for 3 hours so they could "make improvements" on my block. Had to scramble to locate flashlights, charge as many devices as possible, notify people to call me on my cell because my landline (connected to power modem) would be down, and fill a couple of ice buckets so I could have something cold to drink without opening the fridge or freezer. The 20 min. weren't enough--power went down 15 min. after robo-call. Couldn't go on line via wi-fi, because the modem & mesh network were on AC power. Couldn't stream because I'd have used up too much data. Moved upstairs where there was sunlight through the windows so I could read a Kindle book. Power came back on after 45 min. Evanston Subaru called to remind me of my recall-repair appt. Then yesterday, had to get to them early, drop off my car, pick up my loaner, make breakfast & later an iced latte, take a nap, order groceries, make packing lists for my IA trip this weekend, contact venues in search of future gigs, order tix to West Side Story (and post-show themed dinner) on a day Bob would be off (his schedule keeps changing!), go out to dinner, etc. Today, back to Subaru to pick up my car.
Then a back & forth with my neighbbor & my landscaper about my gutters & downspout extenders. Landscaper says my backyard gets wet enough w/o extending the downspout toward it and away from the path (and it's already pointed toward my lawn). He wants to be able to see the gutter from above to determine if the source of the ponding on the deck could be the gutter leaking or poorly angled (if the latter, one would think the gutter cleaning guy would have mentioned it, as another service's guy did about the front east gutter & downspout two years ago). So I have to go out to Home Depot (the smell inside sets off my asthma) and pick up a downspout extender for the NW downspout before the next soaking rain.
And playing Skype-tag with my voice teacher on Mon.--I never know if he'll be ready at our appointed time, so I have to carve out a block of time to allow for his lateness. He seems to forget the dates & times I'm unavailable, even though I text them to him. (Bob always forgets when I'll be out of town or gigging--it's on the wall calendar and I keep reminding him).
Let me explain why eating & drinking is suddently such a big deal: to ingest anything other than water (or other beverages), I have to take out my Invisalign "tray" and then after my meal or drink, brush & floss my teeth and clean the Invisalign before popping it back in. That's in addition to morning & bedtime. Kicker is I have to wear it at least 20-22 hrs a day (22, preferably) so I have to keep my eye on the clock while it's out of my mouth. While wearing it, I can't have anything hot lest it warp, or darker than white wine lest it stain (and even white wine will yellow it eventually) unless I use a straw (and we have only steel straws now for ecology's sake, so hot drinks + metal straws don't mix). Last night I started tray #2, and was shocked at the difference in color between it and #1, which I'd been wearing since 2 weeks ago. Still no pain--knock wood. This upcoming trip is going to be tricky, to be sure--I can't have anything but water on the road. If I want coffee, we'll have to stop so I can at least rinse my mouth and tray and put it back in. For actual food, I'll have to do the full rinse/brush/floss/rinse again dance in a public restroom. So my usual plan of bringing munchies in the car to minimize meal stops is out the window.
We went out for early dinner--DOTD was Dibon Brut Cava. Tonight with the leftovers, some more rosé unless Bob kills it off first. Tomorrow night is a Spanish/S. American wine tasting & buffet, so that's 2 hrs. with "naked teeth," which means I need to eat brunch & drink coffee as fast as is comfortable.

Hi ladies! Last night I had the best shake ever at Gordon Ramsay’s Burger. It was so amazing that DH said he wanted to love in ways that are unnatural between man and dairy, lol 😆 and tonight we had a cocktail called Fear & Loathing at Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen.

Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Thirsty Thursday! Boy this week is flying by fast. Yesterday was a bit gray but didn't rain and got almost to 60 degrees, lots of drying out happened. Sadie's mini pond is now a mud flat. Of course, it's raining again this ayem, so the pond may make a return appearance, but I could finally walk around the yard after work yesterday and take a look at things. Gots me some yard work to do. And Sadie is eager to "help"!
Morning, Cammy Cat!I wish I lived next door to you, too, so I could take care of you and help Leslie and watch Joey grow up! I love your reports on all the goings on. Sorry to hear about your SIL, dementia is so hard to deal with, especially when the sufferer is mean.
Chi--Good heavens you did have a busy few days! That Invisalign sounds like a lot of trouble to manage! Oh course, anything that gets between me and my coffee is going to be looked at askance by me.
Illi--that shake looks amazing!So does the cocktail!

NM, you can have the life guard of your choice. I hope you have a nice warm sunny weekend!
Sandy, oh my goodness, what you have to go through to eat, wowsa!
Cami, glad your brother is doing well, too bad about your SIL. If everyone understands her situation, as far as being mean, maybe they can just ignore her and try to be understanding. How are you doing since you have been home? When is Joey out of school? Your dancing kitty on the table is too cute!
Ill, yummy drinks for sure. Have fun, are you gambling?
Had appt. with lawyer yesterday, still working on our living will. Today is onc appt, need to be out of here around 7:30 this morning for my 4 hour drive there. Taking my Xgeva to see if they will give it to me, I'm having a horrible time trying to get 27 gauge needles to adminisiter myself. Back tomorrow morning! CheerZ

THIRSTY THURSDAY -
Good morning all! Sounds like everyone is dealing with life’s realities. Amazing how much strength you have when working through a cancer diagnosis and treatment while living life with all of its situations. I hope all in the Midwest are not having (or are safe during) the storms. Am I crazy or do these storms seems to be getting worse? Weather has been great here. Starting to get warm, but the humidity is not bad yet.
I will be playing Bridge today with my “Older Ladies”. They are close to the age of my mother, but lots of fun. Later I will pack for another girls weekend in the mountains. It is so much fun to sit on the porch with a beautiful long view of mountain ranges while chatting and drinking wine. Very therapeutic!
This is birthday month. I found two wrought iron chairs for my son’s front porch. They need paint and some cushions, but I have time to do that. Still want to take DH to Savannah for a couple of days. Just have to find the time around dr appointments and social obligations.
Chemo tomorrow before we leave for the mountains. Will have theNeulasta patch to contend with. It is fine until about Tuesday, then the aches starts. Just another fun experience! Take care all!
-
Goldie, yes, we are gamblers but just for fun. We brought $1,000, spent almost all of it but I won $450 on slots (cashed out with 300), gave DH 100, keep 100 and played 100. Then I won more, cashing out at $412, so I’m bringing home half. Not bad, I say.
-
Hello everyone!
Thanks, Sandy, for the information!
Goldie, glad your DD decided on pool! Also, thinking of you on your onc day with the long drive and whatever you all have to discuss.
NM, that blueberry drink looks good.
Cami! Cami! What an ordeal. Hope you're much better now.
Mae, love your photos and travel notes. Your DH has a good sense of humor, lol.
I had bloodwork yesterday and will have scans in a few weeks whenever they get it lined up with the insurance. It all gets mighty tiresome.
-
If I'm absent the next few days, it's because I'm headed to a science fiction in Des Moines to give a concert, and won't be home till Sun. night. Probably won't have time to post.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! This week really has flown by fast. Gots lots coming up so need to be getting my butt in gear and really cranking out the work at work and at home. I think it will be dry enoughto start working in the yard this weekend, too, if we don't get lots of rain today. If we get the showers and sprinkles predicted it should be ok. We'll see!Sadie is still finding enough mud to be a happy pupper.Little does she know that she's getting a total bath this weekend, cuz she is starting to smell like mud. That will make for an interesting little while.
Goldie--I hope the weekend is warm, sunny would be a huge bonus!Sorry you are having trouble getting supplies youneed.
Cammy--My kind of kitty!
Librarian--I can just picture you and your ladies on the deck with wine and chatter and a gorgeous view!The best therapy ever! Hoping the Neulasta aches aren't too bad this time around.
Illi--Bringing home half isn't bad at all!I think the slots are fun to play. I see you play the penny slots, too!More fun for the money!
Muddling--the insurance thing is tiresome. Praying for good results.
Chi--Have a good trip!

JCS, enjoy your Bridge day/night, your mountain visit and I hope you and DH can make it to GA. Oh Neulasta, how I remember that, the aches and jelly legs!
Ill, if you go home with some of what you came with, I too say "you're a winner"!
Mud, does your doctor do TM's? And do you get the results? I get mine the day after they are drawn (if I so choose to look). Do you get scanxiety? I sure do, but don't get them very often. I had scans in Dec of 2016 and then January of this year, so 2 years inbetween.
Safe travels Sandy.
NM, it's just one stinkin needle, I can't seem to find a 27 gauge, 1". I took my Xgeva with me yesterday, hoping they would administer it, that way I could keep my one needle I have left. NO, said they can't do that. I'm like WHAT??? Usually it's delivered to the doctor, but mine lets me do it myself. So because it wasn't "delivered" to their office, they couldn't give it to me. One nurse said she would get me some needles and winked at me. Well, she got me 1 of each, the two needles needed and a syringe, big deal!
Yesterdays visit was fine. He always tells me, it's my ship and I'm the captain. I told him I feel like I'm lost at sea and a big storm is brewing! Anyways, because I still feel fine, we will stay on the FU pills for now, but as soon as I feel any pain we will move on to something else. He is now thinking Vercinio and Faslodex, instead of the Ibrance. He says we treat the patient, not the TM's and also said how many doctors won't even do those, which I already knew. Need to do some inside cleaning and still not done with the painting and the garden, not enought time in the day, nor enough energy!!!
I think we should have a shaving or waxing party, what do ya think?
I wonder if he could be one of our life guards?

FRIDAY -
Goldie, I do get TM's, and can see them the next day. If I want to know.I'm trying to ignore it as much as I can with the SE's. 😕

Hi ladies- been a busy week and also a bit of a stressful one with a new baby that is part of the larger family scene and came in to the world with some problems. Delivery was not going as planned (he was almost 9 lbs) and they did emergency c-section but he aspirated some things and then had breathing struggles. They transferred him to another hospital with a NICU, and he is doing much better. There is a good chance he is going home this weekend. We have all just been on pins and needles and hoping this would get turned around. Tough start for the little guy and the parents (first child), but he is coming through all this. Babies are fragile but also quite resilient too!
Third week on the new gig. Starting to come across the same old obstacles I have dealt with in the past but know how to work through them. I like the project and like having income again too (got my first pay earlier this week).
Lots of beautiful weather and all the trees are out and blooms galore. My fav nursery is down the road from me so I have been stopping there about once a week on my way home for things. As a friend said "that is going to get expensive through time" and I laughed but usually April into May is the big buying and planting time. I made plans for the drip company to come out in the next couple weeks and the tree company to come out later in the month for an estimate to prune my big ash tree out front. The pic below was my big take away from last night's nursery visit.
Taking a break tomorrow from this busy life of mine to go up to Santa Fe. More on Sunday and wishing everyone a good weekend!
