Thanks Cam was going to take the lp, glad I didn't one of the twins went with me (don't think it is a good thing, it was, but I refused to turn on the ac so he went for the ac in the building, or so he says) and my friend came and there are issues with my oldest GD so we talked about that...

I hope Markat posts today and of cours skittle.

No sun here yet Teka, it's raining on and off and chilly too.

Laurie- good luck with the upcoming surgery. You have done well to prepare on all fronts and hope you will feel ready to get on the other side of this. We will be thinking of you here and waiting to hear how things go. And how wonderful you have had such amazing support! God has a way of always making sure we have what we need to get through things.

The long weekend is lurking. I am starting mine tomorrow with a little late afternoon happy hour. 

Happy long weekend everyone! I hope everyone has survived the week and has something nice planned for the upcoming holiday. I know some are still going through chemo here, others have surgery on the horizon, others just recovering from the whole darned thing (like me). I love the summer holidays the best and hope you have nice weather and good people to spend time with! 

I have gardening to do, a dinner to prepare for on sunday, time at one of the local museums on monday along with a trip to the spa after for a facial. Oh and the happy hour tonight. Maybe the first holiday I have actually felt like doing anything in a long time!

Jazzy you are so busy love that...I so look forward to your posts....you are way too perkie for me....or can be perkie for me....

CAM be better.....pm or call me if you need to talk!!! luv u

My car has decided to break so I am car less....it was broken before but it ran, now can't start....it is ok, it is my week off from chemo...do have a swallow test to get done, something in my throat, probably a cyst blocking my esophagus, pills are hard to swallow...but other than that have nothing to do...not stressing, thank goodness for the illegal stuff, it takes away the pain sometimes and the nausea...

Jinkala glad you can get a different test than the MUGA! And yay for 4 left!



Camille hope you feel better soon. Big hugs, prayers, and love your way!



Hope everyone has nice weather and a relaxing weekend doing whatever you enjoy. I'm in full hermit mode- too bad other stuff gets in the way Mom is still in hospice. I'm not sure what the next step will be or if they will let her stay for awhile.

We left the flower & tomato plants gotten at the local orchard in the car out of the crappy weather until Memorial Day.  

Snow this weekend!

Brr!!!

Oh Jazzy u have such a good heart doing that for u'r friends--it'll be good for them to get out and relax. That is such a trmendous strain to watch u'r parents become so different.

And Markat I think we're all thinking of u alot, so anytime u feel like it just let us know how U are.

Well a holiday weekend rainy and cool so far--I hope it gets better for everyone who's having an outside thing, MY oldest DD had her pool opened last week for a party this weekend and it cool outside so--she'll still have it but no poo stuff.

Joey gets out of school in 2 weeks and I'm the excited one--I ove having him around he's always cheerful and that's much needed.

Thank you all for your love and messages!! Thinking of all of you and sending you love and peace.



Hugs!!!

I guess I don't think much about if u have it or not but I was brought up with wine in the house ll the time and if we weren't well(like anemia, bruising) we drank wine t a very early age and my Dad drank it all the time till he passed away and it was a dinner thing anyway. And once we were 18 we could have it anytime we wanted as long as we weren't going out especially driving. My sister still drinks her 2 glasses of red wine everyday (Stge IV) for almost 6 yrs and still FT working and she relaxes her stress away with the wine. My dad lived to be 96 and actually heathy, my mom didn't drink wine much and died at 88 of cancer---I still think it's a crapshoot--whatever is still going to happen, but I know everyone tries to do the right thing so it doesn't happen, and it might still happen. That's a big problem with this beast it does whatever it wants to do to anyone it wants to.

I remember someone contacting me for a trial for cancer and my files were released, they turned me down cuz I had to many complications. HMMM don't most of us, so who do they use? 

Well, here's my 2 cents on drinking. I never was much of a drinker, but I tied on a good one about 40 years ago. Took a week to get all that scotch out. Since that time, I CAN'T drink anything. Nada! Not even a sip!!!



And I still got ca.



I'm not against any drinking. As a friend says everything in moderation, except laughter.



Party on!

Jazzy how awesome is that, so happy for you....

As far as drinking, my father was an alcoholic and of course I picked 2 men to be in my life that drank heavily....so I don't drink...and if I do, it is tequila shots or lemon drops. Didn't and don't like wine even when I could taste...

BB tomorrow

I just read a post online that said that BC is becoming more and more prevalent in young women with no family history. They couldn't make sense of it until they found one common factor.......they all carried their cell phones in their bras. 

Scary.

Yesterday was my last day of work for awhile. I feel like I can exhale now.  In other news, I've been off of my HRTs for two months now.  The hot flashes are bad, but nothing I can't handle. I have not felt any depression creeping in and that is a true blessing. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We plan on seeing some of the great movies that are out and taking our kids to the Cheesecake Factory.  Love to you all.

XOXOXOX

Laurie
