    Teka- how about all us hermits come to your place for dinner? The pies sound delicious.

    I do miss the family Thanksgivings I had back east back when there were more people with us. We used to have more folks around back then. Since I have lived out here in NM, I have spent most of my Thanksgivings with friends which has been nice too. Almost every year I do something different. This year it will be with family.

    Mags- I have had lots of biopsies in my life. Most of them were negative, until one was positive. You just have to find out what is going on and take it from there. Worry helps nothing, although easier said than done. We are all here wishing the very best for you around this.

    Since its just going to be me, hubby and our furbabies, I'm making a small Thanksgiving dinner. We're having a turkey breast, turnips, potatoes, homemade rolls, veggies, cranberry sauce, gravy and 2 pies (pumpkin and apple).

    The week before Thanksgiving I make the rolls and then freeze them and the pies I'll make the day before Turkey Day. Glad I won't have to have hubby doing a lot of the cooking this year as I did last year because of the surgery.

    hi hermies, I love hearing all about your thanksgiving plans and menus. I just love this time of year! I won't let breast cancer ruin it for me either. My oncologist just called to say that my white counts are down, and I did have a slight elevated fever of 99° this morning. So I'm going on Cipro just as a precaution against bladder infection. I'm very glad to hear this because I do feel very icky today and just have no energy. I had a feeling something wasn't right!  DH will pick up my prescription later, so I plan to spend the weekend just relaxing and not overdoing anything.  

    if I don't post for couple days, everyone have a wonderful weekend I'm thinking of you all.

    Onco,Nerdy

    Holidays can be a downer on the threads.   My 5th year!   I'm not going down the rabbit hole after Thanksgiving.   I'll stay in the sunshine and not even lurk on the threads, 7 days before X-mas Eve and 7 days after X-mas Day.

    Mags, your table setting is lovely.  I hope the biopsy turns up nothing serious so it sets your mind at ease.  Waiting is the hardest part.  Thinking of you. 

    Hope everyone else is hanging in there! :)

    Hi hermits- crazy busy day today, but nice dinner with a friend/colleague and some great conversation about many things tonight. I opted out of any wine consumption as my hardest personal training day is tomorrow, and last time I went to a biz event on a thursday and did personal training the next day, I suffered for it. Having good work outs are more important to me than booze these days.....

    Mo- your dinner sounds delicious. Home made rolls sound yummy. I think making dinner may help you feel some normalcy this year after last year.

    Teka- that cartoon cracked me up! 

    Bippy- I hope you feel better and that the meds kick in. Lots of rest, as Teka says.

    Onco- we love having you here, but also understand the need to step away sometimes. I have done it at times, especially around some threads that can be too heavy for me. Lurking is good too. And if you feel the need to move on from this site, I understand that too. 

    Holiday season is hard anyways. Despite my upbeat attitude you often hear on this thread, end of the year holidays are  not my favorite time of the year. Because most of the people I used to spend those holidays with are now gone. Since my brother died, the holidays have never felt the same to me. But like many who face losses in life, we do the best we can with what remains. Many years I just go off the radar from Thanksgiving until New Years. It all depends on what is going on. I respect everyone's need to celebrate or totally avoid this time of the year. 

    Maiden- good to hear from you and hope you are doing okay?

    Time for bed after a long day and evening. Hope everyone has a warm and comfy night. Let me know if it snows anywhere too!

    Hi Hermies.

    Onco I know we all understand--just want u to feel good that' all.

    Mags (HUGS) for all results.That pic was so cute putting all the tables together made me LOL cuz we used to do the same thing, it took days to do everything and set up for one day.

    I'm on my usual anti -B for a while, feel like chit, look worse.

    Lovin' all the holiday talk from years ago--missing so many now but of course more have been added and making everything sounds so yummy==pies (yum) and MO homemade biscuits,, haven't done any of that in years

    It got chily here today and a little busy with work and lots busy with stupid drs. I shouldn't say that they watch me so carefully for everything so I shouldn't complain. but I do anyway.

    OK going to try to sleep, just couldn't yet?????

    TGIF Hopeing everyone has a good weekend.

    Onco, as they used to say in the Motel 6 commercials, we'll keep the light on for ya. I understand your need to step away, but don't be a stranger.

    I did make a good share of last year's Turkey Day dinner except I couldn't lift the turkey from the oven nor could I lift my bread maker to make the dough for the rolls, they were a bit over the lifting restrictions that my BS had me on following surgery. I always roll my homemade rolls in a cinnamon/sugar mix before they are baked.

    onoco, it is my first year here, but i get you. I was on a support board during my dad's long illness and eventual death, and right after I just had to stop going there. I may also join you in the absence, holidays are difficult for me too, as like Jazzy, all my special beloved family are gone. Just do whatever is right for you.

    Feelin better this am good thing too, as I am off for a special onco massage!  She is also certified in treating lymphoma/prevention, so she may become a good resource. All I know is I am tight as a rope in my shoulder muscles. 

    Mags, thinkin of you.

    My Hermies, TGIF!

    Good morning hermits- I am watching the Today Show and seeing there is a polar vortex coming to the middle of the country and over east. Bundle up peeps! It is chilly here this morning, but clear and sunny. Evening temps are down in the mid 30s at night but so far, no hard freeze yet.

    I bought some organic cranberry sauce the other day. Another thing off my Thanksgiving dinner purchase list.....

    Going to my hardest work out of the week this morning. Cardio/core day with the personal trainer. Then home to finish up some work for the week, including a conference call for something I could not get through yesterday with my client.

    Back from the gym, and my trainer kicked my butt this morning, as she always does on "cardio core" day. My body is really feel strong though 9 weeks into this intensive program. After next week, we go down from 3 to 2 days a week and then my personal training program will be wrapping up the week before Xmas. Then it is MY JOB to keep up my fitness and continue to loose the lbs.......
