The Hermit Club

I hope I already took 2 pills about 1/2 hr. ago and am waiting. ugh

Marat I was just reading another thread, I didn't realz how young u are---when all of u young women come up with this age group I'm so sorry tht this has happened to u at such a tender age.

Journey u'll enjoy it here then--I never had exchane so u'll have to wait for markat or someone who did, but u ot stuck with me first hahaha

It's windy and chilly today--I' in with my Katie-Kat too. and super tired--I wonder why-up most of the nite GRRRRR

Markat I could never do all u do, I'm a lot older I know but people expect us to be what we were before and maybe alot of people are?  I don't know---But I do know I'm not--I'd like to be but everything sucks the energy out of me--Sweetheart u'r so young I hope in time u  get there or 1/2 of it--but don't rush anything u'll know--and believe me I'm not pushing u I do understand--I'm so so sorry this illnes came to u, for me I'm so much older it is what it is and it's OK. But I pray for u with y heart u always seem so sweet and u do get out and around so that's good and u'r family is very important to u.

Camille those are hilarious!

Hope everyone is doing ok.  I have my second Herceptin only today.  Surgery is in one week - yikes.

Social butterfly tonight - my oldest daughter and I are going with a friend of hers and her mom to see Tim Gunn from Project Runway in a lecture series at a local college.  Meeting for dinner beforehand...

Trying to decide whether to wear my wig - it has cooled off a little here, still not chilly by any means.  For fashion reasons, not because I am concerned about wearing a hat/scarf...just wanting to do something different.

Compazine seems to help with the nausea - but it gives me blurry vision.  I have to use my driving glasses just to read the computer screen.  So, I guess it's an improvement but it's keeping me off the computer more.  

Still got the 'taste' problems.  It's not a metallic thing though so metal utensils don't seem to make a difference.  I just can't stand the way breads and white cheeses taste right now.  I did find that a nice lunch of salad (lettuce, cabbage and dressing) went down well and dinner tonight was some cooked zucchini.  I can also handle ice cream just fine especially with chocolate.   My other current thing to 'eat' is wintergreen lifesavers.  Those help with the generally bad taste in my mouth.

I've just been laying low since chemo last Thursday.  I can't drive with my eyes the way they are anyways.  I'm not feeling that bad  - mostly just achy, tired, very slight stomach issues and the occasional bit of D.

camille - too cool!  I wish I lived where it snowed so I could do that!

jinkala - just eat what you can - your taste will come back eventually!

We had fun last night!  Tim Gunn was really funny, just spoke off the cuff about his years revamping the fashion school at Parsons, took some questions and then did a book signing.  So yes, I shelled out the $$ for the book for Sarah.  You only live once, right?  I have a pic I will try to post in a bit.

camille - humor is the only way to go with this crap.  Yesterday, I walked into the waiting room to get my purse from my mom before I went to the infusion room for my herceptin.  As I got it, I said (loudly), "wait, why do I need my purse, it's not like I am going shopping back there!"  People just looked at me funny!

Here is the pic...

Wow that's a beautiful picture really-  How nice for u.

Kl That is such a wonderful thing to have interest in, u never know, but it's fun and u do get a satisfaction when u use it. But sewing to me isn't easy, I have sown but not well. But u can really do u'r own thing. That was nice that u bouht that for her. Well she sure looks hapoy.

The social butterfly flies again.  Tomorrow I am meeting up with a BCO sister from the March boards and then on Thursday, I am meeting my 2 friends in town for lunch. I don't think I have enough clothes to go three days in a row!
