Moving On......After the Flap

Great news on your check up, Jeannie! Praying that you and DH are out celebrating and that DD is safe.

Hugs Movie.

Love and hugs to the rest.

It's been a tough week. My friend who was diagnosed with FC just five weeks ago passed away on Tuesday. It was so darned fast. My heart is broken for her family.

Damned disease 

oh, Bailey, I'm sorry. I hate cancer. My heart goes out to you and her family.

DD is all packed, ready to evacuate when it is suggested. The evac zone is currently about two miles from her but I don't know which direction the fire is going right now. It has changed throughout the day. She lives in Escondido. My GD is upset with all the smoke and ash but my DD is a calm cookie.

No job phone call today. That could mean anything, really, but we are discouraged. We just now said to ourselves that we could sell everything and do whatever we want---at least for awhile. We can face anything together, this I know, with our faith and love.

Cindy, it could be Circumin, which is a bioavailable form of Tumeric. I do take that on the recommendation of both my primary and my Oncologist.  You could just sprinkle Tumeric on your food instead of the supplement, but you would need a whole lot of it!

Just want to say a quick hi. I'm in Cape Town now with my family, and it is wonderful to be with my sisters and brother during this sad time. There is nothing like one's family at a time like this. Our mom passed away peacefully, her suffering is over, and we are grateful.

Bailey, so sorry to hear about your friend.

Jeannie, hope those fires don't come near your kids, and that DH will get good news. You are truly an inspiration to me.

I am so far behind again. 

Lie fie and Bailey- I am so so sorry for your loss. It is sad, but comforting that their pain is gone. Memories are so very important. I lost my mom two years ago and still feel it. 

Jeannie- thinking of your family in so many ways. My fingers are still crossed. 

Marty and Nihahi-you both have a great way with words that can comfort many people. Thanks. 

Movie- sorry to hear about your mom. 

Thinking of you girls going through divorce, creepy mailmen, healing issues both physically and mentally. 

My life is so busy right now. Wish I had more time to stay connected. 

Checked flights again. $400 for both my DH and I. Not buying yet. Hoping for it to come down some. 

Take care!

Bailey - I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. I admire your positive attitude and that you can find peace. My heart breaks for her family - and I hope that they are okay. 

Personally, I'm constantly amazed at the random unfairness of this f*cking disease that has taken so much from so many. So many good people, and so many broken hearts. 

Jeannie - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and your husband. Good things will come. 

When I read your post just now I had a flash of you and DH  in the front seat of a WInnebago heading for Baja Mexico.  In this flash you're wearing a visor and the dog is on your lap. DH is wearing sunglasses and is drinking from a travelling mug. You're both very happy. One of your daughters gave you a plastic pink flamingo as a going away gift, and you will plant it in the sand when you get to your destination. 

This flash has nothing to do with the DH's job prospects by the way. It's just that the idea of selling everything and going somewhere sounds so romantic and fun. 

Jeannie - Oh, good idea! That would be a spectacular trip. (For the record - I had your RV set up on a sand Peninsula  on the East Cape region on the Sea of Cortez  - looking at whales in the distance). But the national parks sound fabulous. You have officially been rerouted. The Arches await.

And is that BosumBlues sitting behind you? 

You won't have to move. National Parks can be a vacation, or a plan for the future. And in that case, I would like to come too. Is it legal to be mixing margaritas in the back of a moving Winnebago? 

Sbel, that sounds wonderful' you were missed here.

Janet, I'm pretty sure margaritas have been mixed in a Winnebago, legal or not. We would be sure to drive up and pick up one of my favorite Canadians. Is "Canuck" derogatory? 

Well, ladies, this is my chug-a-lug colonoscopy prep day. I would much rather be doing, well, anything else!

Praying right along with you Sbel!!  Good luck!

I see my MO on Tuesday for my four month checkup, but he doesn't do any regular testing, so it should be uneventful. 

Nice to hear your voice again Katy. Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. Welcome back. 

My chiropractor, who takes care of himself both physically and mentally, was just diagnosed with FC. just ready to retire soon. So unfair. I just don't understand it. So sad. 

Love you all. 

Cherrie, they are so beautiful! I'm sorry about your chiro. No words.

Amen to that lahela! 

Lymph node on lung biopsy tomorrow for me. Must be the season of tests and procedures. 

Adorable gk's Cherrie!
