Georgia-hugs on the unexpected surgery. Wishing you a quick recovery and better days.

Lilly- I am sorry things are still so difficult for you. Did you hear anything about the lung issues?

Teka- how is the gardening going?

I am busy with work and also have a dead car in my driveway to deal with today.

Wishing everyone better days and a good summer

Georgia- do your co-workers know what is going on or did you just tell your supervisor? There may be a lot of questions from folks if they know so be prepared for that. I am self employed, and did not tell too many people. I was working for a client after surgery and while doing rads. Never said a world although they knew I had something going on. Although people generally mean well, it can keep you from moving forward to have to rehash things. Sometimes little tidbits like doing okay, still a bit tired, etc. are enough for most folks.

Glad you are doing so well after this last surgery. Some women have had some real challenges with the recon, others more with the lumpectomies or mastectomies. Good that you are not hurting from this one. You are on your way now.

Lily- doing okay this way and thank you for asking! Busy with work, summer activities, etc.

Fingers crossed for good outcomes with the lung tests.

Teka- that is beautiful! Adirondacks in the summer, ah......

From the growers market this morning.

Lookingforward- a lot of these veggies start in hot houses in the very early spring. The open lots get planted later after freeze and so we have veggies coming spring through fall. Today's bounty was good. No good tomatoes yet, but still early for those.

Yay for Dwill, and hoping she is looking forward to a nice summer and a new chapter opening!

Jazzy-thank you so much for the encouragement and tips! I told co-workers before I left and am friends with several on FB who know how I am doing. I am more afraid of the social over-stimulation than what I am going to say to them. After all, most of the conversations I have had this whole time were in my own head over who should or shouldn't get chopped on Chopped! 😀

Lily-sorry you have to wait for the 21st for your appt, but praying for a good outcome for you.

Lookingforward and Teka, would love decaf coffee and meeting up with you all there! (Have to avoid caffeine due to migraines, but love coffee and decaf is a good placebo!)

Teka-oh my goodness that pic!!! Roflmao!!! 😂😂😂

Happy Father's Day Hermits!

Teka that looks SO fun!!

Teka, we are looking at mid 80s here in my area.

Happy Father's Day to all the women with dads, and husbands, and sons who are fathers!

It is going to be in the 100s here again today.

Teka- that is so nice.

Did you go to the kite festival today for Father's Day?

Teka- a friend here found two abandoned kittens and brought them in from the heat. So beautiful and wish I could adopt one or both, but cannot with allergies.

Here is one that I think is a Maine coon and so beautiful. I am trying to circulate the info to my friends here who love animals and hoping to find homes for these cuties. The other appears to be a siamese kitten.

Georgia- going back to work is hard, but also good. It will help you to work towards finding your way back to your 'new normal.' Glad you have some routines going again.

Georgia having a sense of purpose and being productive will heal your soul. I found I was emotionally drained after treatment and wished I was still working How nice of your co-workers to celebrate your return to work.

I do spend a lot of time outdoors, my retirement gift to me was a new bike.
