    Okay - as of this minute there are six of us going to Vivvy's place - I figured I would drive over to Lucy's in Georgia then straight up to pickup EWB in New York continuing north to pick up KAK in Rhode Island and Arnie in Missouri.  Then we jump on a plane to hop over to Shiny's place in England and finish our journey to Vivvy in Australia.  If I left anyone out - let me know.  Coonie I don't know where you live so just place yourself in geographically were you belong in the scheme of things.  Anyone else want to go simply work yourself into the grand plan!

    Barbe - you didn't just do good - you did great! $$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Faith - go, enjoy, post lots of pics.  Have plenty of "sun, fun and rum!"

    Coonie - on September 30th you got way out of hand regarding house and yard work - slow down girlfriend.  My cat - or any cat for that matter will get a sudden surge of energy and will run around the house, bouncing off walls, for no reason whatsoever.  Is that what happened to you?

    Mum - whoever invented pain pills should be sainted!  Heal real soon.  That picture on the beach makes me want to go right now.  And you do deserve all the pampering you get and more.

    Xpect - I have been on Plavix since 2003 and I can tell you I bleed from a paper cut - so be careful while on blood thinners.  I'm sure you already know this.

    Nancy - I always feel that, like a bear, I should hibernate because no matter what time it gets dark - I want to take to my bed and sleep.

    See full size image

    Arnie - referrals suck - my PCP has to write a referral and an order to have anyting done - his staff is just overwhelmed!  Frustrating, isn't it?

    To every one my rattled brain can't remember ((((hugs))))

    Mornin', ladies!!

    You know, Cheryl, I'm a tad bit surprised that they're having you stay on the tamoxifen with this blood clot issue going.  Typical health care/doc thing, though -- just throw more meds at the problem!!  God forbid they should discontinue any!!

    Barbe congratulations on a brilliant September. You done VERY good.

    Nancy I'm with you on the darker evenings and not keen on the darker mornings either. I think I'll join Kathleen in hibernation.

    Arnie those food pics are amazing. Hope your radiation consultation goes well.

    All you Dust Bunnies have a wonderful weekend. xoxoxoxo

    Once invited by a co-worker to get together one evening I begged off after he called my house to see if I still wanted to go out - told him no and he said it best - once those slippers go on, they don't come off!  Cheers!

    Kathleen...don't pick me up in Missouri!!!!  I'm in Michigan...lol  Sounds wonderful to me though!!! I'll be ready!!!

    I had my consult today and the radiation doctor said that fatigue isn't one of the side effects... thought KAK would love to hear that... geesh!  He was a nice enough fella just he's a male!  Had to have an EKG too.   Don't know when I start yet... a therapist is supposed to call me and set up my tattoos and cast.  I don't wanna!!!  Cry

    Hope all you dustbunnies have a blessed evening!  xoxoxo

    OMG, arnie.  I'm speechless.  Did the rad onc get his medical degree online??  Or maybe he's just in major denial.

    You know, sometimes I think I'm too cynical or too tough on the docs, and then someone tells me something like that...

    That's why we have to take care of ourselves, ourselves.

    Sorry but the mudcake is off the menu!!!!!

    My new oven (which we bought 6 months ago) has a smashed front door. I was lifting a cast iron roasting dish out of the oven and it slipped from my left hand (that side is now weaker since the mx) and smashed the whole front. So I did what I do best at the moment....cried!!!!

    The moral of the story is that a heavy roasting dish will win every time over glass.

    Jayne - I will pick you up when we get to the UK to visit Isabella then back to America - the cave is big enough to fit several. 

    Arnie:  Oops - either Michigan or Missouri - its still on the way.

    Kak - Amen, sister!  Boy, did I find that out the hard way.

    Oh no!  Vivvy so sorry about your oven.  I believe I would have cried too!

    Are you kidding?  I'm bringing a bus!  Another few stops is nothing.  Then I am going to see if one of my sister's neighbor will let us borrow his plane and pilot, unless one of you has a pilot's license.  Vivvgirl - of course we will pick you up but I think when we go back through the UK we might as well have a tour of Europe.  The walking will do us good after our food tour.

    Hi ladies!

    No way I can catch up, so I'm just jumping in here. Did someone say road trip????? I want to go!! I am pretty sure that Coonie is in Louisiana, so swing by Texas and get me after you pick her up!! Cool!

    Lucy, Ireland is on my bucket list too. I have really strong Irish roots on my mom's side of the family and I have always wanted to go there. Plus, it looks just gorgeous in pictures.

    Well ladies, my last chemo is Tuesday. I can't believe it's finally almost here!! I've been so tired. I'm ready to drag my sorry butt across that finish line!

    And Faith, following your wedding postings on Facebook. I hope everything is perfect!

    Good job Barbe!

    Linda, Kathi, Arnie, Coonie, Shiny, Nancy, Kathleen- everybody- I have missed you. Hope to have some strength back soon to hang out here again.

    Hugs to all and I hope it's a beautiful weekend for everybody! Smooches!!

    Revising the road map to make the other pick up points, TexasRose, Barbe and Mumayan.  Any more that want to come just let me know and as soon as I win the lottery I will be right over.  What a glorious trip this would be.  I think this belongs under "Our Escapes"

    Cheers - have a lovely weekend ladies!

    I think we're gonna need a double decker!!!!   lol   I can't wait!!! 

    YEAH TEXAS... counting down the days for you sweetie!!!  I'll be having my port out Tuesday...but will be thinking about ya!!!

    KAK....  The doc and I didn't click... I can get along with just about anyone...but I felt like he was one of those that had to much knowledge and no common sense!  He also has never experienced any of this himself soooooooooo how could he truly know????  Anyway, I thought of you when he was saying that about the fatigue...

    Vivy... I would've cried too!!!  To have a new stove and then something like that?  eeeks!!

    Well our two Michigan college football teams are going at it today... I'm a Michigan State fan and dh a Michigan fan... sooooooooooooooooo you can imagine what it will be like in our home today...lol  We don't watch the game together...to much emotion.

    Hope all you dustbunnies have a blessed day... (((((((((((hugs to all)))))))))))))

    On your way to Kak's pick me up in New York.  At least I'm on the east side.  Being from the east, I've always wanted to take a road trip across route 66
