Fuzzy's Romp Room

Seriously, Dunes that video was not long enough!  So good, I didn't dare watch it in middle of night, me w no discipline would watch all the budgie videos, so I came back to watch today.  So good! 

I have videos I wish I could have caught, like when Blossom skunk 3 # --- aren't those thecutest feet you have ever seen? ETA that and pic of her

used to charge from under sofa, bounce across room and dive into the Newfie's food bowl, he would sit up and yell MMMMMaaaaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaaaa!  So one day I placed bowl on floor and she charged out and dove in and I had water in it.  I swear that dog laughed!  That was Joseph, 5 yrs ago.  And Lacey skunk used to groom him and make pillows and sleep next to him, he let her but was not so happy.  And Benjamin BearBear used to groom the baby skunk, Sequoia who I called Pooh or Puha, but that was before the baby kit was desaced and the baby wa playing w the other dog and got too happy and sprayed her and my living room augh, and BearBear never licked its little arse again, he just sat up and pivoted across the room (they are 5-feet long dogs) every time the skunkie came near him, no way kid. I have pics of a lot but no videos, so have to write all the stories down.  Your video, Dunes, is priceless.

Thanks Fuzzy, I think I will use bullets too.  

Gotta work, packing dishes I sold on eBay, so each little box can be thrown across the room against the wall w/o breaking anything inside, then all the littles go in a med and the meds go in the big, the buyer is going to absolutely s**t. But I am actually having fun.

LOVEEssa

Essa- Are you using a lot of tape? I love tape! The more you use, the more fun it is.

I called ACS already and another cancer society that helps with gas. Now I am waiting.

The cancer society service of driving you to your appointments doesn't cover the distance (2 1/2 hours) I go. I wanted to volunteer to do that but now I can't. Atleast at the hospitals I go to the parking is free. The one that is closer to me offers free valet parking too.

Fuzzy - usually skunks are not afraid of anything, they don't have to be if they are not desaced and they know it.  When Pooh was a baby, all the pets in our house sat back and watched him cross the room and crawl into the food bowl they often at from together and not one of theose big pets moved to stop him and he was not afraid.  But they must be afraid of Great Horned owl, their only natural predator bcz it can eat the scent gland and not be poisoned. 

Veggy - I didn't have much tape so had to be frugal - but I used a lot of boxes, the buyer is going to kill me, I wrote nad warned him. Actually enjoyed  three hours of wrapping a set of Setson china.

Veggy, there are also some small nonprofits for support that one does not even consider, here it is Cancer Debt Relief.  

DD was her tonight, doing laundry and visiting.  I am searching out a sofa for her for her bd, a nice gift even though it will need to be used.  Her new apt and all.  Fuzzy, I know about when they first move to their place, long time since she left, but now she is moving to her very own place and on her own truly in a good way.  The DNA is interesting, wow, a scientist in the making?

Lauren - my sister works with people like that, she moans every day, she says when she is on phone they are in background to her calls and people ask her what the is going on?  Must make for a long tiring day.  Can you use headphones?

Lauren - good luck w tests and all on Friday. 

My endocrinologist appt is tomorrow morn at 7 my time, up at 4 to get there on time, augh, I am supposed to be in bed.  But ihave no regrets, they had a cancellation and I grabbed the chance, need to see him asap, will be a new patient and the first of the day so canna be late, is a 2 hr drive.  

Dunes, I know weaare now friended on FB, and I ave to say sorryyyyy frthe eBay app, I tried three ways to turn i off for everyone but can only do so for me.  Don't know where I linked into it, maybe now I thnk, maye from my blog? I don't know, but all te listings are on the screen, you can choose to ignore the app, but not me okay.   Would write you there but do not dare to go to FB or will loose so much sleeping time, it is a timemonger. but I love it.

Fuzzy, the nap in a kayak, not so safe but restful if you don't turn over and wake up. LOL

Fuzzy I told my MH counselor that I gave him the nickname Fruitloops counselor. He didn't skip a beat. He says "I'm the milk on your fruitloops".

Nancy I am sorry for your loss. It is very difficult to lose a parent. Do what ever you need to do, and yes, please be ever so kind to yourself.   It will get better, it will change and the memories will one day be pleasant. 

Hugs Ginger 

NANCY, I'm so glad you came to us, to tell us of your terrible loss.  What a shock, that will numb you a while.  Time does help.  But still, the world somehow changes without someone that significant in it.  He WILL be with you in spirit, tho, always.  I think you two were close.

FUZZ, I am proud of your daughter for being so smart, a chip off the old block, to be sure.  You know, that kayak trip, now THAT sounds like a relaxing thing for you!  I really laughed, thinking of you asleep in that thing.  You can use that memory of being on the water to relax when you need to.  I remember I had a rough dental appointment, so I just put myself at my favorite beach, tuned into the sound of the waves rushing up the beach, the smell of the salt air and feel of water spray on my face, feet in the sand, I pulled in colors and the whole scene, I was THERE.  Felt no more pain from the dentist.

LOVESSA, your skunkies are so cute, what sweet stories, especially about them snuggling with the Newfie and getting in the dog bowl.  VEGGY, I swear, you can't catch a break with this whole cancer routine, it just runs you down like a truck, breaks thru the front door, takes over your life.  That drive is really a problem, I hope you can minimize it somehow.  LAUREN, yes, work is ridiculous, very stressful.

ALL, I have enjoyed hearing everyone's stories.  Yesterday was a little tiring, I MUST lose some weight.  Maybe after they increase my meds after Labor Day, I'll be able to get moving more, and be able to pay attention to my food intake control.  Well, back to drifting I go, how fortunate we are to have each other.  Always, Gail 

Nancy - I am so sorry. I can't imagine your pain. Sending you big hugs.

I really try to have a sense of humor but I feel so run down. I have forgotten how much energy this disease takes from you and I haven't even started taking chemo yet. I couldn't sleep last night. I was up until 2 AM because I heard that a friend of mine died from heart failure. He was 46.

Yesterday I went to the farmers market and bought a lot of fruit and veggies. Today I want to freeze what I can and eat the rest. I have to build myself up for chemo. 

Love you ladies. 

Nancy, everyone has said it so well. i am truly sorry for your loss. hold on to your memories and hopefully take comfort that he is no longer in pain. there will always be a sadness but as others have said it will ease. just allow yourself to fully express your grief. being strong for others does an injustice to yourself. you are entitled to feel whatever you feel. hugs

Nancy - thoughts and prayers for you.  May the peace of his presence in Heaven ease the pain of his passing.

We were in a wedding together. He was best man, I was matron of honor. I stand 5'8" he stood 4'10". The first time he met me I wore 4 inch heels. The look on his face was priceless. He was a riot. I have good memories to hang on to. Thanks.

Great time in NEPA!
