Single life after a mastectomy

The weather here is still chilly. For the most part I still wear a coat or heavy sweat shirt. We had two days awhile back when I opened my windows one late afternoon but that was fleeting.

Today I have a dental appointment and then will meet up with my son for a late lunch and a matinee movie. We want to see A Quiet Place. It has excellent reviews and we like scary movies.

Enjoy your niece. There is nothing like family.

lol

Nobroken I want to watch that movie

Jazz ha ha ha ya that show was funny from 3 couples I think only one had a great chemistry

I could never marry someone I never even saw hell nooooo o ha ha ha

Hard enough as it is

Oh ya my ex has been inviting me to visit up north. I never responded

I just don't know if he is just lonely or feeling sorry for me. Who know what is in his brain.

I told him about my condition last month cuz he contacted me. I thought ok let's get rid of him for good by telling him. Well is wierd he is still contacting me now ?

Too bad I won't have any part of his game. Is kind of too late lol

ah nobroken

I am happy you got some time out and enjoyed with your son.

I ll watch that movie I also love scarry movies even though these days anything g makes me jump lol

I still want you to watch penny dredful holy I know you can enjoy that show if I ever find it in cd I ll send to you

notbroKen ???

Well, I am with all of you that I certainly cannot relate to the way men think or act. I am also done trying to figure it out too and don't take anything too seriously any of them say to me these days. Sincerity has a way of proving itself to you.

E- I would say that your ex may have both going on. He is probably lonely and realizes from time to time he misses you because you were very good to him. Having him touch base from time to time may be okay, now that he knows where things are for you right now may be okay, but since he cannot provide any practical help to you with rides, errands, etc., that is about all that can happen at this point. I had people who were far away that would call, send cards, etc. during my times of need and found it to help.

As we all know, we are not the people to be meeting anyone's needs during cancer treatment so if he comes at you with his problems, frustrations, etc., you need to nip that in the bud friend. He can find another friend!

notbroKen ???

ha ha ha never mind I didn't know about the news of the parents been denied to take a child to another country for treatment

I have no cable so I always miss the important news.

tough cooky yes finally got some good news lol

Nobroken I search but could not find the movie

I ll try again later today.

Hope you all have a great weekend

Broken- I had to get a cleaning service when I had all the surgeries in 2012 and was told no pushing, pulling, lifting with everything I went through for some time. My sister got me started with it (and paid for it too), then when I went back to work, I kept the service and went from weekly to biweekly. The past 3 years I have been doing it once a month, and it just gives a good pass over for everything and I can keep up with the rest.

An individual may be cheaper than a service, but I like the service because if someone can't come, they send a different team. And they are insured and bonded too in case of breakage (yes it has happened too). I use Molly Maids and have been with them 5 1/2 years and like them.

I am cleaning today too and working on finishing spring maintenance here at the house. Lots to do in spring!

I have HBO and On Demand Jazz. I will have to look for that one. It sounds very familiar and likely I have already seen it. I canceled my Netflix with my move because I rarely used it and never watched my HBO or actually much TV in general, but lately I am watching a lot and enjoying the distraction. My current fav is The Terror on AMC. I am loving that and look forward to Monday nights. Check it out.

I got slammed with pages of Social Service paperwork with today's mail and it just set me off. I am so sick of all this BS. The moron who interviewed me had all the wrong info and even my address was wrong. No wonder I haven't been getting their correspondence despite documentation as to my address change and I am surprised this packet even found me. The system is so screwy and tries my patience with their incompetency. I started doing the corrections all sloppy and disgusted with a lot of explanation marks and when I went to photocopy my financials the damn printer jammed. Ugh...I have little patience for this crap today, and actually any day.

I am having a bad back day from doing a bit of vacuuming and so overall just in a bad mood, feeling vulnerable and loss of control with my circumstances. It is time to switch gears and stop sweating small stuff. I will sit on my patio, soak up some vitamin D and watch the wildlife and people as they walk by with their dogs. That will ground me and hopefully put me in a better place.

I had hoped to fix the patio up nice and expected I would mostly live out there in the warmer weather but it is disappointing in that the wind comes from that direction, whips through and it is always very dusty. It is a covered patio so I envisioned some hanging plants, a fountain and some cushy comfortable chairs and accents but I have a glass top table out there that is always filthy and I am always sweeping to no avail. In the few months that I have been here there is already a dirty traffic lane from being out there and walking in on these perishable carpets. Sadly the patio will never being an extension of living quarters and that disappoints me. On a happier note, it is a good hair day.

E- I like Westword too. Does the new season start tonight? Been watching the reruns of Season 1. I am huge fan of Evan Rachel Wood. Plus the rest of the cast is pretty stellar.

E- oh maybe it is the first episode I keep seeing of season 2. I will have to watch the next one. I loose track of the mini-series on HBO and when they start sometimes. Thanks for the heads up!

nobroken I spoke to the supper and he told me they will give me the heads up 3 days before they come to my unit so I unpack more things I ll need to cook lol they don't know exactly what day they will do it but he said it will take only 2 or 3 days basically 1 day to take away all including the floor tiles. Next day they will do the floor then next finished the floor grout then day 4 they install néw kitchen cabinets. So maybe a total of 4 days I think. The only scarry thing is that this may happen right when I have surgery

I don't know I hope no but yes it is possible

If anything I ll stay at friends for a few days but I will hate that.

Oh girl if mom was alive I would love to stay with her . But staying at stranger house is a hole different situation which i don't enjoy.

I will speak to my super after my niece is gone she lives on may 15th I don't want him talking to me about it in front of her. Plus don't want to tell him much ether. I will figure out a way.

Remember when Arista stayed at her friend ?

That could be my situation and nah thanks I rather be alone and order take out if I must. Lol

E- I agree that you should let the super know you will be having a procedure and ask if they can get it done before you go in for your surgery. You won't want them in there banging around when you are recovering.

If you will do your recovery at home, ask for visiting nurses or home health type support. I recouped from my TAH and bc surgery at home without anyone here, but the nurses made sure I was okay.
