thanks for letting us know. We would have been concerned about you. Hope it’s done fast for you!

Happy Birthday, Mara! Enjoy your day-a bagel lunch sounds delicious!

happy birthday mara!!

Happy Birthday, Mara! May you have many more.

Today is Veteran's Day here in the US. It is our day to remember and honor all our veterans of all our wars, very similar to Remembrance Day in Canada, UK, Australia, etc. Both my mother and dad were veterans of WWII and today I think of how very brave they were as very young adults. I am humbled.

Well, we’ve arrived in El Paso and got a room. We meet my secondary (localish, 3 hrs from the cabin) oncologist tomorrow morning. This is where I plan to get my Herceptin every 3 weeks but I’ll still go back to Houston every 3 months for scans and follow up. For now it’s laundry and relaxing.

We pick up a new fridge on our way out of town, the cabin one is old and freezing everything not in the freezer, ugh.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I did have a lovely outdoor bagel lunch at the park with my friend and then we walked 5 km uphill, downhill and some flat in the park. There were lovely ducks frolicking in the river which I liked, more geese than I liked but the sun stayed out and it was cooler which I did not mind as I did not become a sweatball. I even managed to keep up with Debbie which is a feat because she is the walker extrordinaire, 15 km in a day is normal for her, but I did it.

I do plan on having a piece of cake tonight, just have to pull it out of the freezer, same cake I got for Mom's birthday last month, but it was a nice day. Probably will go to DB house for dinner as well.

Candy, I am glad it was not 48 hours, life nowadays almost requires us to be online a lot so it is an imposition when that happens. My computer will probably need replacing soon so I will be shopping laptops myself, just not gaming laptops this time. Surveys do not require much horsepower or graphics.

Thank you Karenfizedbo, I had a lovely day. Did not have cake, while it was defrosting, my older DB came over and dropped off my requested peanut butter fingers so I am having them for the first time in years. When I became intolerant of peanuts, I did not eat them. Now on my digestive enzymes, I can enjoy peanut things again. They are delicious. Enjoy your wee walk in the park with your nephew. Hope it is nice out.

was a rough nasty day outside today. Ventured to target with my DD and enjoyed myself with her. We’ve. Been spending a lot of time together and I am really loving it. She’s so beautiful inside and outside. I am lucky to have a lovely family. She took pics recently and I just love some of them! She arranged for some really cute pics with her DH that my DH took. He loves his photography!!! They came out wonderful!

Lee~be safe driving on your way. For your labs. Hope they are quick.

Hi Tanya. Karen. Moth.. BooBoo..Mara..Sunshine.KBL

Candy~that was fast! Wahhhooo!

Mae~get some rest! So busy.
hello Jhl! Sandi....Rosie....And many more.

Happy belated birthday Mara! Every year is a 🎁.

thank you Sandi. She is precious to me. Yes he is lucky. Very.

KBL, I am sorry to hear the drugs you thought would help caused such a reaction down there, that would be awful. I hope the ER was able to calm things down for you.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes, they were definitely appreciated and it was a very nice day indeed, love the picture Goldens. Yes, I am one year older which is always good in this situation.

Today is a regular day, I am busy with surveys, laundry and household chores. Had my usual beans,spinach, shredded cheese. Topped with a few tortilla chips and a dollop of queso. I do have my Herceptin infusion so I will walk to and from as usual. Bringing an unusual snack today. Going to bring a spoonful or more of peanut butter, a little fibre one honey almond flakes with a few chocolate chips, mix it all together and have it during my infusion. Should fuel up the walk home. Not sure if I will walk as far as I did before or save the long haul walking for tomorrow or saturday. I will see about that. Just the hospital walk is just over an hour round trip.

KBL~Very glad you're improving, no ER visit is ever fun. I'm just glad no one was there. Empty ER is better for sure.Drink a lot of water I would assume. Please feel better....

Hi Candy ~ quiet here too today. No target store trips today. Got a package delivered. That's always fun.

For Christmas. Believe it or not I have everything done for gifts. Some money later, but the gifts are wrapped and stocking stuffers also. I have four more things to wrap and I'm done completely. Then I'll move onto the Christmas cards and decorating. I started shopping in February of 2020. Helped tremendously....I'm not going to over do the decorating, DH just painted. So it's a big no for wall things. Just a simple real tree and wreath. Should do just fine. When the kids were little. I went all out. To the nines. Just can't do it anymore. Makes me sad. I enjoyed the lights myself honestly.
