The Hermit Club

Slicky how was gettng back after 5 months--good thing u'r starting slowly. It's a big adjustment--When U'r first off u'r so busy with everything, then u go back and sometimes u'r rnergy isn't all there.

I have no, I said no Dr. app't now til Oct. I think it is---Oh I can't believe it--what a feeling--I'm breaking into song.

My brother called last night to tell me the time he's picking me up on SUNDAY--of course I have to write it down--He's so organized, we all going out to lunch or brunch as they say, Noe this is what a bit** I am. I don't like brunches anymore at all---Getting up and down and trying to balance a plate while I'm trying to balance this body has turned ugly--so this should be interesting and then the lines to me are no fun. But that's what the want to do--so that's what we do.==Well we do have some fun so that's good.

Hi hermits- I am back and it was fabulous! Many tidbits to share with you but very tired and jetlagged right now. Got to the house at 2:30 a.m., to bed at 3:30 a.m. and been up working on my loads of laundry. Think I am going back to sleep again soon!

Got a day and a half to recover before I head back to the client site. Fortunately, it will be a short work week and then I have the weekend for more recovery.

Hoping everyone is hanging in there, continuing on with your healing, treatments, or enjoying the last month of summer, etc. Kids are back to school here and know many on the east coast will be going in a few more weeks after Labor Day. 

Does anyone know how to post pictures that don't require a URL?

Jazzy I'm glad u'r home and safe but I know super tired, rest as much as u can.

And unfortunately I barely know about URL I know u have to put it in somewhere somehow, but maybe someone knows--Not Teka Not me.

Jazzy I read that wrong--I can copy pictures most of the time but I never know exactly what will pick up--I can do it off a Picassa site and FB--This is what I do--OK her goes--- I go to the Picture, Press the left side of the mouse or on ur computer and there wik be a list of things to do --ress on the right side where it says copy. OK then go to where u want to put it and again press the left side where it says past, press paste and usually this little OK thing will come up and u answer yes and then viola there is u. picture.

Hi hermits- have not been able to get it to work yet. The pictures are on my computer and I try to do a copy and paste or control C and control v to cut and paste but no luck. Will try again soon!

Jazzy it just dawned on me--I take a while--U'r home already, it seemed like we just said have a fun trip like 3 days ago. WTF is going on.?

OMG U too Skittle school already, ours starts in 2 weeks but that was fast. So fast.

OMG Lilly I'm so so sorry, sometimes we miss something Oh please forgive us we're so helpful, I think--I have to look back and see--what surgery and when---Really Lily please forgive us it wasn't done on purpose.

Lily... How are you?  I am so sorry you feel injured/ignored.  I think we have all felt that.  Every thread fragments with the separated entries and "pages" turning, and no one can keep up.  I have never meant to ignore anyone and am sure all hermits feel the same.  We each respond to the immediacy of what is in the former two or three posts.  I know I miss a few days now and then, and lose track of what/who/when.  (Like Laurie and Lori haven't posted in a while.  It doesn't mean they're forgotten or unloved; it just means they're quiet and we await their news.)  You are always valued and held dear--it's just things happen so fast, we can't all keep up.  I know my brain is on overload with getting the classroom together, the passing of a friend, a crisis with dd2, a dog bite, se's, ripping out carpeting, on and on.  It does not mean I have not thought of you or prayed for you.  (When I went to the beach, for example, I traced each and every hermit I had come into contact with here into the sand...  and watched the sunset as the waves lapped us gently together...  You were there.)  Again, how are you?  Surgery went well?  Recovering w/o too much pain?  We do care.

I was sure i had.....sorry if not, today i feel wretched, prob cos not allowed to wear any kind of brest shape for six weeks so its bringing a lot of upset back and i cannot get comfortable today

Lily,  Hoping each hour gets better for you.  Not an easy time.  I'm so sorry.

Teka, 

Markat,  How are you?    Camille, hanging in there?  Laurie, Good news on nerve healing?

Jazzy, jet lag getting lessened?  Marilyn, Curve, bgirl, Lori, Spookiesmom, Slick, and all others...  wishing you decent days with those you care about. 

Just saw The Butler.  Worth the ticket.  Lots of historic references. 

Yes quiet, listening to a croaking frog in our pond.

Yesterday, went to 7-month MO visit (ok), then ate out with husband, daughter, boyfriend, and got to play with their 2 cute cats.  

Son enjoyed the take out brought home.

Enjoy the weekend!!!

Hi hermits- ugh, hard re-entry this week. Jet lag still kicking my butt, especially this morning. I had to DRAG myself out of bed and could barely get awake. But now the weekend is here and hopefully after the next three nights, I will be back to normal. I love traveling to Europe and Hawaii but more than three hours of time change really gets me! You know what is  also hard about coming back from vacation too, three days later, it is like you never went anywhere! I know, silly me, complaining about time change and the like, I did get to go to Hawaii, right?

Lily- I have not been here much in the past few weeks so I am sorry if I missed anything about your upcoming surgery. I am sorry things are hard for you and that you are uncomfortable right now. Hugs coming your way.

Slicki- what kind of work do you do? Are you waitressing? I had a really hard time going back to work and I have a desk job. I worked 30 hours a week for months and would just leave when I got tired. But I also work for myself and worked it out with my client to do so. Maybe shorter shifts if you can for awhile. Employers are not always easy with this stuff though.

Skittle- busy time getting ready for the school year. I saw an article on children and hunger I need to find and post here. It speaks to things we have talked about here in the past.

Teka- hope your MO visit went well. Croaking frogs, linger sounds of summer.

Cami- I only went to Hawaii for a week so we spent lots of time building up to it and then it was gone in a flash. It was a good full week though and I felt like I got enough vacation time. I am more of a homebody these days, so I a week out of town is about all I really like anymore.

Hawaii tidbit #1- I love sea turtles and the cove on our beach had lots of reef area, with beautiful fish and several sea turtles, big and small. They are so sweet and docile and not afraid of you. You could get right up close to them and observe them grazing the coral reef. Then they would come up for air and be right in front of you! You could also seem them swimming in pairs along the shoreline together. We also saw a cool white colored eel too.

Time to take my jetlagged butt to bed. Wishing all of you a better day tomorrow for those who are tired, hurting, feeling sad, etc. Hugs to one and all.

Lily I'm not familiar with any of that type of procedure, I hat to say it, but it sounds awful. PAIN meds. is all I can say Ribs involved and everything. Oh

Lily I read some of that but I get lost easily with procedures--I don't even know what I had or even asked (I know that's stupid) but it worked for me--but if u'r not taking anything it has to be harder for u, I think any cutting in or on u'r brest is very painful, but I never had that, I just had them both taken and no recon and that; not ainful at all. I'm sorry I just don't understand all this stuff--U'd think I would be up on everything but I'm not at all.

I had to reboot my computer it was acting up so I didn't get back to u Lily, but I hope the pain gets going so u can relax more.
