    Yay me!!!!! One more boost and I'm done. Bet you don't know what tomorrow's grateful will be. Lol

    Ruth, that's super. But I have to ask, why so concerned about how it smells if it's going away?

    Nel, I wish nothing but good treatment days for you.

    I'm so grateful to finally get my birth certificate today. That's the last piece of my secure id puzzle.  My birth was recorded in the books at the courthouse, but no actual birth certificate was in the file and they could not produce a birth certificate based on the records in the courthouse, just about the oddest thing I've ever heard of. If your state hasn't implemented the secure id drivers license yet, you might want to look into what is required to get your drivers license renewed and start acquiring all of it now. It's part of the homeland security act that was signed in to law in 2005. All states have to be 100% on the secure id program by 2017. The state vital records office was full of people like me missing documents required to get our drivers license renewed this time.

    Red, I didn't know that I could get an appliance store that WOULD haul it away, and if so, I didn't know how soon they would be able to do it. It smelled so bad, that even though we moved it to the garage, I was afraid the smell would get into the car's upholstery and also waft back into the house....Sick

    Day #79

    Today I am indeed grateful to be having my last boost! Rads will be done by 3:30 pm. I am taking a bell so I can ring myself out. 

    I am also putting Post Tit notes on my boobs, thanking my techs. Can't wait for them to tell me to slip my arm out of the gown. TeeHee.

    Nel, I did say in the very beginning that a day would come when you would have to search hard for something to be grateful for. I'm so sorry it's today. {{{{{{{Nel}}}}}} Yay for Nutella!!!!!

    I've heard it said that when you can't find anything to be grateful for, be grateful for toilet paper  (think of the alternatives!)

    Grateful that Red is done with rads. Congratulations!

    Grateful that the old freezer has been taken away & the new freezer in place.

    Now that I think of it, I am very grateful for toilet paper, and Kleenex too!

    Red, how wonderful that you are done with RADS, 

    Chrissy's getting knee surgery, ruthbru's getting rid of the freezer and 2nd time's got enough tp - sounds like all is well with the world.... 

    I'm grateful that there is some cereal upstairs and I am about to have a midnight snack.

    thanks Pooh for the suggestion, will check it out

    I know I wrote up Days 77 and 78 but they're not here.

    Day 77: grateful that I got thru the day on my clear all-liquid diet in prep for tomorrow's colonoscopy. Had to pick up some groceries so I'm gal I wanted tempted to have something I shouldn't.

    Day 78: grateful the colonoscopy and endoscopy are over.

    Day 79: grateful the scratchy throat I woke with is so much better tonight. And for all of you who had to deal with the cold weather this winter:

    Nel  mmmmmmm Nutella is the best. Maddy happy it all went well for you today. Red hip hip hooray for  being done with RADS. Chrissy glad you've got a date, it'll be June before you know it.

    Today I am grateful that I was able to go to my dance class, earlier in the day I had a yukky tummy and thought I wouldn't be able to make it.

    Good morning ladies. 

    Day #80

    Today I am grateful that my DH and two of my best friends were here last night to help me eliminate 3 bottles of wine from my liquor cabinet in celebration of my last day of rads.

    My first name is Catharine, that's why the certificate is made out that way. Only matters what's on your health card, not what you are called. Lol

    Grateful that DD passed a big exam, even if just by a thread. I can rest a bit easier now.

    Just realized that this started in January. This is day 1 for me.

    Congrats on finishing rads, Red!

    I am also new to this thread, so this is Day 1 for me. Congrats Red on your good news!

    I am grateful that the 12th seated North Dakota State Bison just beat the number 5 team, Oklahoma, in basketball to advance to the next round of the March Madness tournament. They've only been invited a few times before and have never made it past the first game....they won in overtime; a little freshman who sat on the bench the whole game came in and made 2 free throws & a basket to win the game! They really seem like a nice group of young men. After the game, an announcer asked the coach what the victory meant to him, and he said, "I just love those seniors so much that I don't ever want this season to end. And this means we get to keep playing!" Ahhhh......

    Today I am grateful for the virtual tea party (not of the political kind) being held on the insomniacs thread. The great thing about a virtual party is that the clean-up's a breeze.
