    btw surfdreams thanx for the compliment. It's weird though I look more beautiful to others as I age and have cancer.. a bit like Benjamin Button Story movie of Brad Pitt Undecided. Really thought deep about it when I returned home, cos noone was really interested in me back then...

    OK, waiting for the game challange..

    hugs, Ebru

    Okay, Stagefree/Ebru, I started a game with you! I like it because we can write notes back and forth, too. I still like wordament but can't seem to improve my score. Maybe it's because I'm usually playing in the middle of the night and I'm tired! Tonight spent the evening with an old college friend and her husband and son. We had dinner and then walked all around Annapolis and the Naval Academy and then had dessert back at my house. It was so much fun reminiscing about college days (oh, so many years ago). Good friends, good times!

    OK, Caryn. I've started a game with you. I agree - good distraction. I usually check in on my games once or twice per day. I've got quite a few going, so it takes me a little while to play them all. {#emotions_dlg.wink}

    OK girls, I've started playing you all already, the challange is on! Smile I love it cos it both distracts my mind & help exercise my chemobrain, really. My loss of vocabulary has decreased since started playing the Turkish one a couple of weeks ago. Now we'll see about the English one..

    Glenna, Caryn & Surfdreams I hope I can meet the challange with you! Yes chatting online is fun too. Everyone else, come join us!!!

    hugs, Ebru

    Mary, just looked up Natahala Gorge. What a beautiful part of the country! We went to Asheville a number of years ago and were entranced by the lovliness of the area.

    Asheville is great. We go through there on our way to my sisters. Like everything else its gotten really hard to get around in, lots of traffic. We used to go to Hot Springs which is near Asheviille, natural hot tubs, lots of history with the place. It was great, but with lymphedema cant do it anymore. But that area is great for a week-end trip for us. It only takes us about 3 hours to get there.

    Wow, a train ride through the Gorge sounds heavenly and the scenery is going to be beautiful.  We'll be going to Virginia Beach for a few days later this summer and on the way home, we plan to go through part of the Shenandoah National Park on Skyline Drive and see the vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Truly, America is beautiful.

    We've started on our two screened in porches on our house a couple weeks ago. So Ive been busy picking out fans and floors etc...I fell in love with my floors though, they are going to be very cool-look like dated wood floors but are really ceramic tile. Cant wait for them to be done so I can enjoy the outside without the worry of the bugs.If it would only quit raining long enough to finish I would be soooo happy.

    I love Words with Friends and I will be joining you for some games.  I have numerous games going right now with various friends.  The cha feature is great too.  I could chat recently with my friend who was vising the Galagapos Islands !!!  

    I think your command of English is amazing, Ebru.  I often think that when I read your posts.

    I have been treated for cancer since 2005 and my body is just getting tired. First mets, then a gallbladder, then thyroid disease [2 of them, why have 1 when you can have 2?], and neuropathy with carpal tunnel. The faslodex makes me fatigued, and the latest carpal flareup means I am not getting any sleep to speak of. I wake around 2 or 3 in excruciating pain. When I wake with this pain, I have noticed that the back of my neck, shoulders, and upper arm are really tight. I have this idea [based on almost nothing of course] that if I could reduce that neck, back, and shoulder tension, my carpal symptoms could be reduced so I can avoid more surgery.

    My oncologist has given me an RX for physical therapy and we are working on building up my neck muscles but this is slow work. Today, I paid someone for a theraputic massage. Took some time to find someone who is lymphodema-aware and who is nearby.

    What a difference this has made at least for today. I had no idea just how much tension I was carrying around. If I still feel better on Sunday, I am going to book another appointment. And, I am going to consider this a medical expense.

    Is this considered to be fun?

    Susan, certainly, but only if there is tinkling temple music playing, incense burning and the massaging is being done by the person of your wildest dreams/fantasies. Otherwise such massage is a medical necessity and should be considerd such.

    Seriously, I am delighted you've found something that works!

    I'd consider a massage fun, for sure.  

    A friend gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure.  I've never had one before, so yesterday I went. 

    Oh.my.gosh. 

    It was heavenly.  The girl couldn't have been nicer or more thorough.  She took her time, I was there over an hour and a half.  Small place with lots of customers and everyone was nice to chit chat with.

    Very funny Tina. No incense [which is good. that makes me sneeze.] Nor was this young woman anyone from my dreams. But there was drivaly, very Americanized Indian music, that went no where in the background. You know me, the optimist until proven otherwise. I just hate hate hate to consider myself a sick person.

    Susan, I get it. Here's your new scenario: You are not a sick person, but a sybarite (Is there such a creature in New England?), one who is reveling in the massages as purely hedonistic, delicious self-indugence. (Just don't get too carried away to file an insurance claim.)

    My Latest Fun: Today we met friends for an outstanding lunch at one of DC's beginning-to-be-innumerable Jose Andres restaurants, then visited some new exhibits at my beloved National Portrait Gallery and Museum of American Art. Delightful.
