    Elimar: yep seriously Monday . This must be a harmonic convergence of the middles.(smile).



    I am feeling half way decent today from, dealing with this cold. Hope it is gone by Monday when I take my third chemo treatment.



    Got granddaughter's birthday party tomorrow, she will be 11 on the 24th, also celebrating DH birthday which is on the 22nd. Should be fun, if I can stand all the giggling and screaming, she is having 8 screaming little girls over for the party and sleep over. My poor son and daughter-in-law. It will be fun though. I think I will escape early.

    Justmejanis: I have to be at the hospital at 8:15am to get my blood taken and chemo appointment is at 9:30am. I will be in your pocket Monday.< /p>

    Paula66,  I will let you twist my arm and YOU may kick off Weekend Mystery Pic (Part II) next weekend.  This will give you some time to find one and let others know it's coming.  Post on Sat. morning (or, Friday night, if Sat. morning doesn't work out.)  Reveal on Sunday, as usual.  Let's hope we have some keen observers amongst our Newbies.

    Again I'm way too many pages behind, so sorry for what I missed.

    July bday  here too ... 31st, just made it! And I'm a Leo through and through. I don't go for all that stuff as a rule, but most things I read about Leos are sooo me!

    Mystery pic - I never guessed correctly, but I enjoyed the challenge, so glad it's coming back!!!

    Eli - topper (girl with cheetos and wine) is adorable!!!

    As always, know that you're all in my daily prayers and thoughts even when I'm not actively posting.

    Hugs :)

    i had heard about the need for rest, for me it was like a wave of powernap time in the afternoon. I scheduled my therapy in the morning, came home and took a nap. I made no apologies for it, and the sleep feels great! enjoy!

    Been up since the wee hours. I've been having what I think are mucsle spasms in my chest in the night. Very painful. It stops once I am up for a few minutes.

    I wanted to do something normal last night so we went fishing. A huge black and red water snake came right up to the shore where we were fishing and bit onto the fish my BF was trying to reel in. That did it for me. I was all done. When we got home I had to duck from a bat that was flying around on my porch. I had enough of nature for one day.

    Jo - glad you made it home! Get lots of rest sending healing vibes your way.

    Hi rewayland - Haven't seen you here before so ... Welcome! Sucks that we all are here, but you will find great support and encouragement from everyone.

    Dianarose - my DH is a big fisherman and is always asking me to go with him. It is very relaxing....of course until the snakes and other creepy crawlies come along. I really don't fish, just hold the pole while he baits it and takes off any fish that come along. And bats???? They really creep me out.

    Greetings, rewayland!   I'm thinking you opened this thread on the first page where I was asking about rads and fatigue.  That has been a while ago for me.  Over 2 years and 600+ pages ago, but with new ladies coming all the time, we have it all going on here.  I can bring you up to date.  So far we covered how much B/C sucks; chocolate, Cheetos, hot flashes, scanxiety, man-candy, how much B/C treatments suck, hot flashes again, cruises--both real and imaginary, lymphedema vigilance, the ultimate suckiness of B/C recurrence, how much we miss PauldingMom, my alleged "creepy" pics I post at the top, our daily lives, and a LOT more.  I'm sure we'll mention all that again, so just jump right in.

    Oh, did I mention labyrinths?

    Eli the proof is in the popularity!  This is such an awesome thread.  We can hang out, bitch when we need to, cry, hold one another up.  What would we do without this beloved group of brave, smart, and very supportive women?  You are all troopers and friends as well.  I love you ladies.

    I am getting nervous about tomorrow.  I have had the overnight bag sitting in my room all morning.  I haven't put one thing in it!  I have to check in at the hospital at 8:30.  Hoping I will get some motivation before then!

    Someone from my rads thread is bringing sourdough bread from California.  I am originally from SF so that is one thing I really miss.  Anything that would go good with sourdough, bring along.  Do not forget Cheetos (Eli) and chocolate always!!!!

    Once, Meece brought us some chocolate Cheetos from Japan...let's just say that was an acquired taste.

    I got a new washing machine today.  (It wasn't even my birthday.)  I'm doing the innaugural load right now.  It is so hard to contain my excitement.
