I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I just got back from a trip to walmart in Roanoke (about an hour away) to pick up a prescription, only to be told it was "too soon."  arghh.  It's a controlled substance and apparently there is some concern I may be selling the drug on the streets.  Dammit .. now I have to drive all the way back up there when I get home from my trip.

Happy .. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister.  I know how sad you must be, especially cause you just lost your mom too.  I'll be thinking about you tomorrow when you have your surgery.  Hope things go smoothly and your recovery is quick.

Scoot ... I am ashamed to live in Virginia.

Chaplain ... Hope you're enjoying your special day.

Rabbit ... Love the vintage appliances.  I onced owned an old home and I did the kitchen in vintage 50's .. it was so cute.

Otter ... I'm glad you're almost home ... I've missed you.

Well, I need to pack and get my act together.  We have to leave for the airport at 4 a.m. so I better get  things ready to go today.

hugs all round,

Bren

Bren

Have a good trip.

Chaplin

Have a Happy Birthday.

Wabbit

Love the appliances.

Everybody

Those perky picture of Cheryl Crowe are not to my liking either. Maybe if she didn;t have such a great big HAPPY smile about the whole thing.

HL - so sorry about your sister.  This is really, really hard. 

Joining all in not loving seeing sheryl crow's grinning face surrounded in pink - with an "offer to buy" - I AM SO SICK OF CAUSE RELATED MARKETING - I will NEVER ever, buy anything with pink - NEVAH!  Send the $$ to whoever is working to find the scientific cause, and hopefully cure.

SICK SICK SICK of folks trying to raise money for "education" - if there's anybody who doesn't know about breast cancer, I wish them continued wellness hiding under what ever duvets, covers they're under. But, those spreading the need for "education" are paying themselves some whomping big salaries...anyone else feel used???

More hugs to HL....healing thoughts....so, so, so hard.

Dropping by to offer HL gentle hugs and to offer my condolences. It is very hard.

Happy BDAY Cherryl!

Scoot, how ignorant. I am appalled by all this religious ranting going on in the <unnamed>. This should be about the economy stupid. I am quite fearful of the mounting deficit. Thinking about relocating while I still can.

Friends, thanks so much for the good wishes. The day has been absolutely great, even though it involved a trip to the DMV (I got the only friendly clerk there) to renew the old driver's license and a session with Julie the Torture Goddess (personal trainer)!! Day off work - very good.

Libby, I'm pacing my self so I can be there tomorrow to keep an eye on everyone. The champagne will be chilled for the celebration afterwards.

Bren, have a good flight and a fun time with you family.

Getting ready for dinner with friends. More later.

Athena (who is nuts to be cycling at 6AM) I am thinking of heading to the Caymans. I have many friends there and visit regularly. In fact, am heading there in October for our vacay.

Hey, if it's a nutjob, they deserve "angry black woman" - whatever that means! :-)

"Athena" the sane.

Hear hear!

Barbara, you ended up being right. It's 6:18 and too late for my class.....I neded more sleep, I suppose. Oh, well, will stop by my club after work.

Hi Everybody!

I'm in beautiful sunny San Diego!  I love it here.  It's so great to see my son and his family.  My mom is here visiting with me too.  We're going to t-ball practice this afternoon and karate class tomorrow. 

I almost missed my connection in Atlanta.  There was some kind of mechanical failure with the plane leaving out of Greensboro.  arghhh.  

I've met the Chaplain and she is a lovely person.  She's very tiny ... a little mighty might!  She's warm and kind and loving.

I just checked in on the Komen thread.  Yikes!

Hope everyone is having a good day.

hugs,

Bren

Getting ready to do a "Spa night" for my daughter's Brownie troop.

Please keep a drink or two for me when it is over...

Happy Birthday Cherryl and hugs to you HL.

Ang, a nice glass of Chardonnay is called for. I'll buy you one.

Sounds good Barbara.

I have just returned from an alternate universe. Curiouser and curiouser.

Or is that alternative universe?

Stage II DIEP surgery complete ... Now on to ooph later this spring.



Was home by 5 pm or so last night. The PS pronounced himself very pleased with results. Scootaloo and DH were here to keep an eye on me. Nobody even brought dilaudid near me, so I had no hallucinations. 12.5 mg of demarol took care of the pain in recovery, plus one tylenol 3 while I was waiting to go home. One more tylenol 3 before sleep last night, and now I am back to regular tylenol. I have on binder and surgical bra and DH hasn't unwrapped me to change dressings yet, so I don't quite know how I look. But I feel pretty good, except for sore throat from intubation.



Ain't modern medicine grand?



XOXO to all, and thank you for you hugs and love and support!

((((HL)))))

Man, this is good to hear! With all that you have going on I was quite worried. Nothing better than quickie surgery. I bet you will really have great results. Send Scoot and your DH my best.

Phew!
