    Susan, good rest. You didn't have to do that. Ms. Sas' msg from you was good enough. Thank you. Big hug.

    thank you guys. Up way too early, 4 am! Ugggg! Hope to start packing today, DH wants to start tomorrow, no rush. He's driving me crazy. Now he's asking all kinds of questions on who taking care of what. He's known since November that we were going on a cruise. Can I scream now and leave him home!!😵

    thanks Chevy, I don't worry about the number. I'm 66 now, I know, just a kid! I stopped worrying about birthdays after a friend of mine died from BC when she was 49. She was 7 years out when it mets to her liver. 15 years ago so they didn't have all the options they do now. Think of her a lot.

    Ok, just happy thoughts! Not! I'm going to make breakfast now and feed all those cats! 😄😛

    ok, better frame of mind, sorry about that.

    Made soup and had some for lunch. Probably last batch I'll make, its beginning to get too warm for soups. DH actually put out everything (haha) he wants to pack. How does a grown man expect to only take 2 pairs of shorts for 9 days! So I will tactfully ask about taking at least 1 more. He does have 2 pairs of slacks but that's for the evenings. Only 2 tshirts, I think he'll buy a couple in ports. Everything's not too bad. I think we're pretty good to go.

    Thanks for the BD wishes. I'll be picking up DGS soon and heading to the movies. Seeing the Good Dinosaur. Haven't seen a kid movie in awhile.

    That is SOOOO me (and also SOOOO DH) it is unbelievable. I always say Mums pack for the family, men pack for themselves. Hence the difference.

    Chevy, It's the opposite at our house. DH doesn't think thru what we might do, so he takes everything he might even remotely use. We go to see GSs (3 day weekend) and I have a carry-on bag and he has that plus several duffle bags, etc. Then he has his flute and the music stand and the stool to sit on, a couple of books, his computer and food from the frig. I have seen him take 3-4 coats. I have one with plans to suck it up if it's warmer or colder than I think it will be. Of course, I used to be a travel agent which may have contributed to my prowess.

    LOL. My ex sis in law looked like she was running away when she packed for a week vacation. 2 blow dryers, in case one crapped out. What, Florida doesn't sell them? More than half her closet.And on and on. We truly did laugh out loud at her.

    I KNOW! When we go to Sheri's, it's like I pack an outfit for each day.... because we might not be able to wash clothes? Hah! And she has all the shampoo's, creams, shower wash.... etc! She even always has a "goodie" basket for us on the bed, with all of our favorite "stuff!"

    I do the same when she comes here though.... And fill a plastic compartment with all her favorite snacks, by her bed!

    Our SIL is coming next week! So she will be alone with her boys for awhile.... Going up to Central City to gamble, and meet his Sister for lunch that day!

    I remember one time I was trying to bring home about 12 Grape-fruit in our luggage.... It weighed too much... So I had to pay extra....!!! DAMnit! But her neighbor has this Grapefruit tree, and they were FREE! Until I took them on the plane!

    I just bought some here 3/$1..... Hah! I have about 12 now... But I cut them up and freeze them......

    When we moved here we had a lot of citrus trees around. Kind of like tomato up north, everybody gave it away. I'd take bags of my tangerine to work. My neighbor had the best pink grapefruit tree. But the cold and 6 hurricanes in 2 years killed them off on the coast. I do miss it, the upside is the fruit rat population is waaaaay down. Which is good, cause the coyotes have killed all the outdoor cats.

    Antique EAPG Bryce Higbee SUNBURST MEDALLION Pedestal CAKE STAND

    Bryce Higbee MEDALLION SUNBURST BANQUET Connected Circles 1896-------- maybe 2bucks

    EAPG SERVING PLATE 1890's-1912 EAPG-BRYCE HIGBEE GLASS-YOKE & CIRCLE-RINGS----1.75

    I found the bottom plate this week. The two above I thrifted within the last while. Posted them a few weeks ago. In scrolling to try and find the name of the bottom plate, I found the other two. The second and third plates came from the same junk store. It's a real junk store. I'm sure they're rats under some of the piles. You have to watch every step you take because things are just all over the place. Also, got these there, Anchor Hocking Waterford/Waffle 1938-1944. couple bucks. My favorite junk store now.

    The guy is so funny. He says "What's your offer" I learned this time to go low and then he countered. Pretty cool.

    OOPs, I gifted this glass the short one, to DI without verifying what it was. Apparently, it's one of the earliest pieces of EAPG early American Pressed Glass1940's. I suggested using it for q-tips. It's called Giant Sawtooth.

    the movie was cute, my GS liked it. He turned 12 the end of January. It was nice just the 2 of us. Haven't done that in a while. Another GS turns 13 next week, I'll miss his birthday. Will have to do something with him when I get back.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. Who's next?

    I should let you guys know that my stomach is hurting a whole lot less. Stopping the push-ups was a smart idea.

    I haven't been on for a while. I started this journey last April and now, I am looking at being done with radiation on the 23rd. I should be ecstatic. Instead I swear I am in shock. I have done enough research to know this can be normal. I've been through hell, did a few laps, and coming out the other side. Knowing and going thru it are two different things tho.

    I feel...... broken. Only word that fits.

    Interestingly, I'm not writing this for support or advice. I think I just need to say it. I feel broken. Strangely, I think it's because it is suppose to be almost done, but it isn't, now is it. I'm still recovering from chemo - the worse part now is the neuropathy doesn't seem to be subsiding. I don't want this to stick around. I can't hardly walk or touch things. Typing is hell and I have to type a lot. Ugh!

    Radiation did me wrong too. My skin apparently is severely sensitive to radiation and I'm dealing with second and third degree burns. They hurt!!!! Probably will scar some. Sure.... why not? geez

    But in a few days I am done with radiation and start hormone treatments, which after this hell, I am not sweating at all. I'm already in menpause after all. So in a few days I will be expected to be done and miraculously all better. But I won't be. I'll have a road of recovery ahead of me.

    My boss asked me 2 days ago that he was going to put my schedule back to full-time starting the 25th. I have two days to recover apparently. I started laughing, hysterically. I had to leave work the day before because blisters popped and were draining thru my shirt. Yeah, I'm sure I'll be just fine by 25th.

    If you mention to anyone how your feeling, they think it's because I'm worried about recurrence. I haven't even gotten that far yet. I'm just exhausted. Just trying to get thru these last few days. I can't even skip out. They would schedule them at the end. hahaha I can't escape.

    I feel better writing this. Talking doesn't always work. People are a step ahead trying to think of something upbuilding to say, so I don't get it all out. Here I have a captive audience. Sorry about that. haha

    Think I can sleep now. Goodnight.

    It is nice to have a hobby and doing what gives you pleasure, Ms. Sas. You get additional joy when you give them away too, right? Double pleasure
