I can't get my act together and I don't know why

I can bear full weight on it.  It's just painful.  DH won't let me go to work today.  We have a big snow storm coming today, so I don't plan on leaving the house.  Maybe I'll just call my onc office today and let them know what's going on and see what they say.  I have my next Taxol on Monday.

KES, Wish, and everyone,

You are all invited to come down to my place, in NC.  I have one guest room with two beds, but there is room for some to sleep on the floor in the living room and the computer room, and we do have an air mattress. 

There will be no snow, but I hear it will probably rain.  I always say 'you don't have to shovel RAIN!' 

Hugs

Thankx for the offers of Snow refuge. ALL of the schools were closed in this school board district today and buses cancelled. It has just stopped snowing now. Did not go to work today. My car got stuck in my driveway. We have had about 8" and more coming. Look out Harley and Nancy as your places are sounding kind of good. I wonder when Wish is coming to pick me up? We have had snow since the beginning of November. This winter is going to be a long one. Have done nothing all day except eat Christmas cookies. There will be none left for Christmas.

It looks like we've had about 8" or more here in RI.  I haven't heard the official snowfall totals.  I just looked at my patio furniture!!

So, listen, my dear ladies, Badboob67 aka Diane is probably going to lose her home to foreclosure & her husband just got laid off.  Plus some other sucky things have been going on.  I've had to edit my recent posts on this to avoide getting in trouble on the forum, but PM me & I'll send you a link to the webpage I set up where you can help.

I gotta take back my offer of refuge from the snow, as it is coming this way tonight or early tomorrow.   Sleet, freezing rain, etc.   Have as good a weekend as possible.   Hugs,  Nancy

We had a snowstorm yesterday and now another one is coming for tomorrow. I still have X-mas stuff to get done and a ton of it too. Now we are going to get 10-15 more centimeters of the white stuff. At this rate not only will we have a white christmas but we will also have a white spring. I think I hear the CHIGGERS calling me.

Well, my place is still a SNOW FREE haven!  It has gotten cloudy, rainy and very cool, but no threat of snow yet.  Wish, keep that snow up your way!  Let's hope it doesn't get further south than Virginia!! 

I hear that Christmas, it is supposed to be in the low 70's, but rainy. 

Come on down!!  I'd LOVE to have friends come down to visit!!

Merry Christmas!

Hugs

Harley

Oh, gawd, Wish, I'm glad it was just a bunny.  You need a dog or something.

Harley, you may be living in the only place in the US that is NOT getting snow &/or freezing weather these days.  We've had over a foot here in the last few days, then today sleet & freezing rain, which turns it to slush, then tonight it will all freeze again so that the roads will be horrible in the morning.  And of course they never plow & sand enough, because in southern New England, we're in denial that we actually live in the snow belt, so the towns never allocate enough money for snow removal.   I should post this on the "bitch & moan" thread.  Grrrrrr.

On the other hand, Harley, you do live in a state that is right in the path of a lot of hurricanes!!!! 

LOL, XXOO, Kathi

Wish,

I'm so sorry that you had such a scare!!, but glad that it was just a bunny!!  You are right, though.  Once you have been violated, by a break-in, just as once we have been violated, by bc, life is NEVER the same again!!  Sending (((HUGS))) your way!!

Kathi,

You are right.  It is a trade-off.  Having such terrible snow storms make daily life, just getting around town very difficult for a couple of days, but a hurricane,...  well, I don't even want to think about it.  

This time of year, I actually LIKE to see Jim Cantore or Mike Seidel on The Weather Channel, but in the Summer months, they scare me, if they are anywhere NEAR my neck of the woods!  Last summer, when we had that Tropical Storm (I can't remember the name....), one of those guys was in Ocean Isle Beach, reporting on the storm.  Well, I gotta tell ya, that scared the heck out of me!!   We saw the wind just ablowing away...  but at our house, which is about 20 minutes away from Ocean Isle, it was mostly a rain event.  Let's just say if we are ever told to EVACUATE, I won't think twice.  I'll gather up my fur kitties, and my MIL and dh, and off we will go... 

Harley

Aw, Jane, you must have strained/sprained the soft tissue quite a lot, which is frequently worse than an out and out fracture.  Keep icing, too, & take anti-inflammatories if you can, like Advil or even Aspirin.  You have just had the worst luck lately.  Cripes!  & {{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}

Harley, it's not like we here in coastal New England escape the hurricane season ourselves.  We get everything here, even the occasional tornado.  I don't know why we live here sometimes -- oh, yeah, spring & fall are unbelievably beautiful, and our bugs are small compared to the giants you have down south.

That said, my best hurricane story happened in  1992, when I went to Florida to help "rescue" my elderly mom mostly from herself -- she was frail, lying to me about what sort of state she was in, neglecting herself, & her condo looked like a hurricane had already hit it.   So, I get there the week before Hurricane Andrew!!   Yikes.   So, the good news is that we were supposed to get the brunt of it but didn't -- instead it hit further south & west.  But we did have the flooding rain, tornadoes, lightning, etc., etc., etc.   Oh, just wonderful!   So, I was driving her car home to RI afterwards with a friend of mine because my mom couldn't drive anymore, and we decided to visit the Outer Banks, which was great because it was deserted (gee, wonder why??) by the time we got there, so we practically had the whole place to ourselves & had a grand time & said hello to the piping plovers there, related to the ones that nest up here on our coast in the spring.  However, every time I've thought since then that I'd like to go to the Outer Banks again, you guys are being evacuated because of a hurricane!!  So, I'm glad I saw it when I did!

LOL

Kathi,

I have never been to the Outer Banks.  I don't live near that area.  I live near Myrtle Beach, SC, and it seems that when the hurricanes hit, the Outer Banks gets hit hard!  So I am glad we don't live there.

Hugs

Talk about getting my act together:   I was gonna make lemon bars to take to the bridge group on Tuesday - got lemon, powdered sugar, eggs, and forgot the flour...   Good thing I checked the recipe before I starting mixing it.   I am allergic to chocolate and decided I would make something I could eat.   

And I have a mouse who ate through my package of onion rolls.  I do not often get the rolls, and they do not always have them...  Since I am in an apartment, I think "they" should set the traps.   Well, they do not have any and will have to "order" them... What is wrong w/going to Home Depot and buying some - which is what I did and I am going to give them the bill.   The worst part is he/she had to crawl ALL over my counter to get to the rolls.  So, I put on rubber gloves, got out the Clorox and disinfected everything.   I guess this should be on the moan and groan thread.

Here's hoping Monday is a good day for everyone.  HUGS,   nancy 

Thanks Kak, but I am allergic to cats...  It was way too cold with a wind chill minus zero, so I did not get out for flour to make the lemon bars.  I did find some unopened Cocktail peanuts in a can, so I will not show up empty handed for the bridge group tomorrow.   

I'm not my usual self.  I still have no holiday spirit.  I stay in the house alot.  I avoid people I know, even family.   I screen my phone calls.  I feel down.  I haven't bought new tops for my "girls".  I don't like the way I look in tops....implants are too big and feel heavy.  I'm still in my pj's and it's almost 3pm.  I seem to have a short fuse these days.  I don't talk, smile or laugh as much.  I could go on, but I won't. 

Everyone thinks I should be back to my old self and can't understand why I'm not.  Well, I don't understand either.  I should be happy!  The cancer is gone!  So why don't I feel happy?

Someone mentioned anti-depressants, but I keep hoping to get over this.  It can't last forever!

2 newboobs,

I just sent you a pm. 

I agree with SUE.  I had some problems at first, but it really DOES get better.

Sending you HUGS!!
Harley
