INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

WildGrrrrl ~ Where were you yesterday when they all was so mean? Thank you friend for sticking up for me 😊

I don't care much for going out on New Years' either. Too much forced happiness and waaay too much drinking. Accidents happen easily enough without all the liquor. I'm so sorry you lost your Step-Mom so tragically when you were so young. She must have been very special to you for you to have kept her so close in your heart.

Disney Store outing!!!! I love Disney! Marti has a Tinkerbell and a Snow White costume 'cuz she is a fairy princess too. Very impressive that DD would share her Tink with you ~ certainly a sign of a Best Mom Ever 💜

MammaRay ~ You look so cute as a redhead! Yes, a goal to make happy memories 💕

FFH is pesting me to go next door for a little bit...thpppppppp.

Warmest wishes to all for a wonderful 2017 free of pain and worry - and full of happiness and love 🤗

WildT - I use the Albuterol neb. Plus, the coughing has continued to be persistent, so I called doctor today and got a script for codeine cough syrup.

After reading Sensi's post about listening to our bodies I have realized just how rough this all day trip to pick up Kirbs is going to be on me, so I made a hotel reservation in Portland next to the Airport and will take the bus the rest of the way home on the next day after Kirby & I have had some sleep. Now I need to make sure I have everything I need to spend a night away from home.

Happy New Year to Everyone!

nite nite

Some of you are already in 2017. Some of us are almost there. Be safe!

And her is a continuous live feed watching mama and her baby in Florida! Did any of you watch the Owls Molly & McGee raise their babies in California? I was so fascinated with this!

Yeah! We made it to 2017. I was waiting for my last 2 loads of laundry to dry when the fireworks started to go off at midnight. I had lost track of time and it startled me. It was so loud, I thought maybe someone had fallen outside my apt. and went outside to check, then more fireworks and I looked at the clock and realized it was midnight already. Wow!

Only 2 more days until the Kirbster comes home! Yeah!

Chevy - I'll have to check out the Eagle Cam. I have asthma, and right now probably bronchitis since this has hit me so hard. The cough is wearing me out and making my ribs hurt. It has been two weeks now and I am so ready for this to be done with. My C-PAP has a humidifier on it, the cough syrup has codeine in it and with the nebulizer I use Albuterol, I am hoping to see light at the end of the tunnel soon.

What are Tessalon Pearls?

Hey Spookie - How cold is it there today? ;0)

I'll check back later ladies. Have I good first day of January.

Happy New Year everyone! Hoping for a 2017 full of the best health possible for each of us.

Having a restful afternoon, should be putting things away and cleaning up from the holidays but the grandbaby and family went home today so I'm just reflecting on all I have to be thankful for. Only see him a few times a year but its very sweet each time. They grow so fast!

My Gus kitten however is glad to have the house and his "mom" back and is very needy, which truthfully helps. Makes me think of JunieB and how wonderfully different your house will be in a few days.

WildT - thats so sad losing your stepmom young and so tragically. I'm thankful for Uber these days, one of my kids uses it when they go out. However last night I got to thinking I hope the Uber driver was in a safe car and a good driver...mom always has to worry. Thank goodness my mom never knew half of what we did, I'll be honest drinking and driving happened and we were stupid and lucky. Glad times have changed in that regard.

JunieB, I have very mild asthma but occasionally get congested and had bronchitis twice. My allergist prescribes Q-Var. i take two puffs in the morning and two at night. It really helps. You might want to ask your doc about it. Glad you are taking your time bringing Kirby home. I'm soooo excited for you.

Spookie, you should be ashamed of yourself calling those temps cold. LOL. No wonder Chevy gives you a hard time.

Mamma, darn I missed your pic wearing the wig. Nothing like being a ginger.

Happy New Year to all

41 is too #%&$ cold. Go back and check this coming sat night.

Chevy is stuffing herself with meatballs and Starbucks now. She can't yell at me.

Susan, I'm taking our tree down on Thursday (. My nutcracker collection will stay up a little longer.

As for shots, my MO says to get them on OFF cycle weeks so they won't conflict with the chemo as much. Always remember that even on off weeks there will still be some chemo in your system.

Anyone awake tonight?

Junie, Sounds like you are doing everything in your power to get better. Kirby is SO cute!

Poppy, So good you had nice time with family.

I might go see la la land with a friend tonight. They say it's a great movie.

Wishing everyone a very blessed da

Oh, MammaRay, I'm so glad you did vent to us. I completely agree!! Something happened to me on Christmas Eve, and I wasn't going to share, but now I am. Read to the end, because there is a point..

I was sitting around a table talking with my mom, two cousins and a couple others. The cousins are the daughter's of my mom's sister, who died in the early 90's. My aunt died of cancer and when it was discovered, she went in a matter of months. My aunt did not share much of what was going on with her illness, so when my mom and cousins got together (they haven't much over the years) they began talking about everything leading up to the death of my aunt. Then someone said how old she was when she died..exactly the age that I am right now. So I'm sitting there..still dealing with my after-treatment stuff, next to my mom who has leukemia, and we were supposed to be celebrating Christmas. I got up and left the table. Not only couldn't I handle it, but it then just put me in a somber mood for the rest of the day. So, my point is that it IS all around us, and it stinks and there is nothing we can do to make it go away. Unfortunately those of us here have a heightened sense and emotion about cancer. It is perfectly acceptable to walk away and cocoon yourself when needed.

BTW, I sincerely hope and apologize I am not offending anyone with mets or in active treatment. I am not saying we should run away from people who have cancer, which is why I didn't mention this story last week. It's kind of like the oxygen mask thing..sometimes you have to make sure you can breath yourself, before you can help someone else.

Love and hugs all around.
