    Cami- isn't that video crazy? That cat on the fan is frightening really. I like the cat chasing the bear myself. I don't have cats, as I am allergic, but my sister has FIVE! I love the photo of all that cats and the comment about them not bothered that you aren't married! LOL! I hope Joey's ankle is doing better.

    Blondie- glad you are doing well with the latest chemo. Sounds like you are doing a longer term kind of thing with this. My heart goes out to you.

    Markat- thinking of you this evening.

    Just came home from yoga class and it was good. Now I am going to bed soon to get some much needed rest. 

    I hope all the moms out there have some nice things coming up this weekend and/or with your moms.

    Hi all,



    Camille..you are too kind. Yes, I am okay. :). Just got my head down and gearing up for the surgery date. I have realized that this all is much like the stages of grieving. I am going through the stages of emotions. Mostly dealing with others. I am looking forward to shutting down for awhile. I have had some very insensitive comments of late and I am losing my graciousness.



    Teka...praise God! So happy for you!



    Markat....you and your mom are always in my prayers.



    Skittle, Jazzy, Blondie and all of the others...love to all of you. Knowing that I have my "Hermit Group" behind me is a great blessing.

    Good evening hermits. We got some much needed rain today here in the parched desert. We hope there may be some more this weekend.

    Teka- so wonderful to get that letter. Time to exhale.....

    Laurie- I found myself so busy before my surgeries last year and know you are working to be ready. There will be a bit of angst before you go in and remember that feeling well. I blessed all my doctors and all the new people in advance I would meet that day that would take care of me and help me through surgery and recovery. I can remember a couple nurses along the way that seemed like Angels from god. May you have wonderful care during your procedure.

    I stopped at the nursery tonight on my way home to talk about a tree I thought may not be coming back but they said "oaks take a long time to come back, wait...." And with that, I bought some beautiful pots and more plants for my rock garden. I spent a lovely evening outside with my new plants and planters. 

    Wishing you all a lovely weekend, especially the moms but all women are moms in some way....

    Hi All ~  Teka I am so happy for you!  I, on the other hand, got the opposite :(

    I had my mamogram Tuesday and the tech said, as I left, "you'll get a card in the mail next week - have a great summer".  So... I took that to mean all was good. Today got to work and there's a message from the radiology dept to call. So I did and they want to do a follow up mamogram.  I'm praying that it's because I moved - the tech did it 3 times - but I am scared. I also feel inside - that it will all be OK - just too much deja vu - this is all exactly what happened a year ago. Anyone had this happen?

    I was called back in 2012 for follow-up images.   I went numb, but turned out OK.   Welcome to the new somewhat normal.   Scary crap!!

    Tech put foot in mouth.Foot in Mouth

    I would be pissed off.

    CVmarilyn- I am sorry you got called back. I hope your additional tests indicate no concern. I am glad you feel all will be okay, but sorry you are going through this again. Keep us posted here as you wish on how things go.

    There are so many scares with this diagnosis, we do well to hone our own intuition....

    Thank you Jazzy. I so appreciate your warm words.  Innocent  Your garden sounds amazing.  I grew up in Minnesota and my dad was the most amazing landscaper, so I have fond memories of flowers, grass, trees, and plants. They give me such peace. I love hearing about your garden.

    Marilyn...my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry that you have to go through the "fog" again. I am praying that your tests are normal. XOXOXO

    I hope you all have a blessed and peaceful Mother's Day whether you are a mother to humans or fur babies. Jazzy is right...we are all mothers in some way. Kiss   It will be my daughter's first Mother's Day (she is a couple of months along) and so I got her a little gift.  We are all meeting at church and then going out for lunch and a movie. 

    My boy starts his Legion ball tryouts next week (summer baseball....INTENSE schedule) and so he is gearing up for that.

    As always, love to you all.  Thank you for being my friends.

    XOXOXOXO

    Laurie

    Hi everyone--I am literally hermiting more tha usual I guess.

    Teka I'm so glad u got that news. Congrats.Laughing

    CV --I used to be called back alot a few years back and so were some of my GF's so sometimes it's shadowy-Hopefully that's what it is. (HUGS)))

    Laurie u r right we all grieve differently and this is a grieving disease--it's spread over time and u wonder WTH is going on--with all the treatments and rads more things happen to u'r body that u never thought about--it's tough but when u have a loving family and good things happening it does ease u'r mental pain.

    Blondie I know this is very rough on u--(((PRAYERS)))

    I hope all of u have a wonderful day tomorrow.

    Hi hermits- a little story to share with you today on this mothers day weekend. One of my neighbors a few doors down was out selling a few things in a mini yard sale. I had not met her before, but knew of her and one of the other neighbors told me she had lost her life partner to breast cancer last year. That was all around the time I was going through my earliest phases of diagnosis and planning for my treatment. To hear that news was sort of scary to me. Another reminder this disease still takes lives. 

    Today I went over to introduce myself and bought a few things from her. She mentioned loosing her partner and we talked a bit about that. She is still very sad and teary, but told her I understood (in more ways than she knows). It was just all a very nice sharing of things and now I have more pots for my garden that belonged to them. I think in a way, she liked the fact someone nearby has her things and will enjoy them. So many good things came out of our conversation. Shared grieving.

    Sounds like everyone is doing okay, enjoying the mothers day weekend, hermiting, etc. I was out for awhile but now back in my shell.....

    Happy day to birth mothers and those who love like mothers...  Sounds like most are doing well, coping as things come our way.  Doing the best we can.

    Love Teka's listen/silent.  

    Hugs to each.          Hope we all land safely, no matter what our flight.

    Happy Mothers Day to all my fellow hermits. You may be mother to young children or adult children. You may be mother to pets. You may be mother to an ill or aging parent. You may be mother within your communities. You may be mother to Mother Earth.

    In all the ways women are mothers in this life, I honor each of you and wish you a lovely day!
