    Yay Bippy. Quickbooks is everywhere! (I have used it at small businesses in several industries.) You will develop a very valuable skill! I think the best situation is one where you like the people that you work with... Hope the first day was all that you imagined... Celebrate your opportunity, Valentine's Day, and President's Day this weekend !!

    Jazzy, Hope this weekend brings you both joy and peacefulness.

    Mommy, are you expecting snow as well? another foot here? Stay warm and cozy.

    Onco, very funny! No Yoga for me, though. I can't focus that well. Just throw me on a treadmill or a stationary bike.

    I am off to breakfast with my hubby and then to dig my son's car out of the snow - he has the flu so I won't be visiting with him! I am supervising snow removal :)

    Hope you all have plans for a rejuvenating weekend.

    Thanks so much ladies! I'm from Pennsylvania. Just taking on day at a time. This upcoming Tuesday is the Sentinel Node Biopsy day. Planning on taking the entire rest of the week. And I have had the opportunity to speak with HR regarding income protection. I had a good and much needed cry on Tuesday and have felt better. Looking forward to connecting with more ladies. You see like fun group & laughter is definitely the best medicine! Just to prove my point... in light of the recent developments and all the breast conversations I just had to get this card from my husband. LOL

    Jknee- so they are checking your nodes after your lumpectomy. The sentinal node incision may be a bit more uncomfortable for awhile, but they heal well and mine are barely noticeable 2.5 years later.

    Sounds like your job gave you some info on FMLA, which is a good thing to do.

    Love your card. Sometimes we do cry and we need to, but laughter is also very good medicine for what we got going on here.

    We hope you will like it here with us!

    Hi hermits- mild day here and see my ash tree trying to bloom but it is too early. Another snow storm coming.

    Spent the afternoon/evening yesterday with my friend going through cancer treatment. I finally told her last night about my bc journey, knowing very well she would want to know and also discussing I wanted to keep it between us. It opened a lot of other conversation between us as a result. She looks pretty darned good for someone going through chemo and does her 3/6 this coming Tuesday. Some targeted rads, which I have done and we talked about that, managing relationships, working during treatment, and more. My sister told me today no one understands this whole thing unless they have gone through it. We went to a local nearby restaurant and indulged on fajitas for dinner.

    It was a good day!

    hi Hermies,

    Hope all NE Hermies thaw soon.

    My last week of rads!!! Red, raw, hurting. But, I will do it

    I go again to work Tuesday! So incredible to be wanted, appreciated. How weird is it, that I called her out of the blue, and that I wanted a job, she had one, I wanted to learn Quickbooks and Excel, and she is teaching me those two things. Maybe a prayer answered?

    And, my old boss needs me to show new gal how to do an appellate brief too. So there is more cashola.

    Things are lookin up for Bips!

    Everyone have a great Monday, I have Herceptin and rads, double whammy.

    Hey Hermies,

    We have sleet, freezing rain, snow, thunder & lightning, and 20-something degrees out. Tomorrow should be interesting. My rads appt is at 2, it may well be all thawed out by then. DH can work from home if need be.

    I'm actually hearing the ice pellets hitting the windows. Ick.

    I have 6 regular tx and 5 boosts left.

    mommy, git your java fix! I cannot cope without it. Sucked during chemo without it.

    Ugh, Mags and others in the storms, it sounds awful. My pal arrives from Maine on Sunday, IF She can get out! It is a horror up there.

    Off to herceptin and rads today, a double header, hahaha. Then lunch with a friend I have not seen in awhile. Our hospital is super crowded due to all the snowbirds, hard to park so leaving soon.

    Take care sisters

    Mags and Bippy- in the home stretch now and rooting for you here in the desert. Wishing you good energy, good travel, etc. as you complete this round of treatment.

    Mommy- get that java going. Maybe today will be better as DH goes to work and you have some time for yourself. Things will get better. Been a lot going on this past month with your surgery, mom visiting, getting those dang drains out. Nowhere to go but up from here!

    Cami- are you around and doing okay? Still thinking of you with the loss of your brother.

    Wishing everyone else a good day. I am on a mission this week to get some new work secured for myself.

    I'm a flat hermie too, Onco. I have no intention of doing recon, but my BS insisted I see a plastic surgeon before my BMX. I had a lot of extra tissue left and got a pit-tit-ectomy a few months after the BMX. I still wonder if the tissue was left in case I changed my mind about recon. Shirley

    Hubby was nice to me today and got me my coffee (guess he didn't want the evil me coming out all day  lol)

    Well he did apologize for this weekend. Guess like you all said with everything that's been going on lately that he forgot. I did get an ITunes card as he knows I love to listen to music when I'm doing things around the house or even doing a plastic canvas project.

    Worrying about him now, he hasn't been himself all day. Hoping he's not coming down sick with a cold. I know for a fact that if he is out sick from work, the othr guys in his department won't do his work, so he'll be overloaded when he goes back to work. At least he won't lose pay for being out sick.

    I think that I am considering a pit-tit-ectomy...

    Mommy, glad to hear that Hubby demonstrated his love. Zinc boosts the immune system - He might need some.

    Bippy, did your friend make the trip - hope so!

    Mags, stay strong. <3

    Jknee, it is a long journey. Humor will keep you sane :)

    Jazzy, hope those good days keep rolling at you like the snow into NE!

    Onco,

    Mags coined the term pit tits to describe all the extra tissue left under the arms after BMX. I had it removed in late October. The doctor had some fancy name for the surgery I can never remember so it became a pit tit ectomy for me. And I really did have enough tissue left under each arm to make a new boob before the pit tit ectomy

    OMD I had forgotten about that, Shirley! Still haven't had one, don't know that I'll ever bother, might just gain enough to fill them out. LOL!

    I called and cancelled this morning because the roads were a solid sheet of ice. Then found out that my driver has a 4-wheel drive Jeep (he has always driven a sedan), and then by the time I would have been heading over there the roads were clear even in our cup-de-sac. Oh well, one more day to heal, tack on another at the end. DH worked from home and cousin's class was cancelled so we all stayed home and had a quiet day.

    Heading off to bed as soon as I catch up on my threads. Nini Hermies.

    Mommy- glad things are better with DH, and hope he is not coming down with something. All the snow back there is really stressful for people, especially if they have to drive in it. I remember it only too well.

    Mags- hope you had a good day slowing down and getting another day to heal. You are close to the end.

    I want to give a shout out to our friend Blondie here tonight!

    Hi hermits- busy day with biz development but home and popped in to say hi.

    More snow for the northeast, ugh. Hope Mommy's DH and everyone else is staying safe and warm. Bring on Spring, I say!

    Today I want to give a shout out to Cami and hope she is doing okay. Loss of one's brother is a tough thing to deal with, I know that one personally. Hugs to Cami if she out here and lurking but not posting.

    Onco, hubby raves about them but we've never found them this far south. I know I would love them.

    He has ordered some kishka though so that should arrive tomorrow

    The stores here are carrying hot cross buns. Might get some soon. They are a great breakfast in a pinch!
