Thin Slices of Joy

Here's another one I didn't remember. Written by Carole King. Also sung as a duet by James Taylor & Art Garfunkel. "Cryin in the Rain"
-
I've always really liked that Everly Brothers song. They were great.
-
I don’t remember that one either.
We finally watched the movie Belfast. Really good, but I did notice there were some Van Morrison songs I didn’t recognize. They did play a lot of his songs.

Janis Ian - At Seventeen ❤️

Thanks for the music posts, since I don't know what to listen to, or mostly don't listen to anything, I really like them. Serenity, how did I miss "adult alternative"? I must have been hibernating. Fun song. And the tribute to Moth is so beautiful. I remember that book with a smile. Did you finish this fast?
-
Yes, I did another 40 hours. Today I think I fasted about 15 hours overnight. I like to vary it. In 2 weeks I might fast 3 days during my off week of Ibrance. I scheduled a Novavax vaccination after. I'll check with my MO about it. I'll probably take extra time off after the shot in case of side effects.
Our cable subscription includes music channels. I found the alternative rock that I listened to in the early 90s were categorized as “adult alternative". 😞 That's worse than when they went mainstream.
This video of a whale with the paddle boarder is amazing. -
Hi ladies- working from home today and one of my friends runs the Thursday All that Jazz on our local NPR station. My friend is a vocalist and always finds the best music and here is something she played today that really caught my attention. Small fry by Alexis Cole. This is an old jazz standard from the 1930s I have never heard, but love this version. What a great voice Alexis has, a new favorite! Enjoy.....
-
Lovely Jazzy. Looked her up and enjoyed her cover of "Cry Me A River".
-
Slice of joy - green Chile season in New Mexico.
-
jazzy - Great music find! And those green chiles look delicious. 😋
I'm in the middle of a bunch of appointments. Xgeva shot is every 8 weeks. Port flush is every 3 months. MO check up is every 4-6 weeks. TMs are rising. ☹️ Have a CT scan this Saturday. Novavax vaccination next Saturday. Then I have an appointment for an ovarian cancer research study that includes a transvaginal US. I actually volunteered for this?
To occupy my mind I've been working on the plants. I repotted the orchids including the chocolate orchid that has buds. Hope I didn't kill any of them. It's also time to start bringing in the aloes from outside. Learning to not kill plants is a great way to keep my mind off things I can't change.
Here's a funky cover of I Will Survive.

Just texting with my older daughter. She's attending an online conference with a vampire cooking demo this weekend. I thought they eat only raw foods. She replied it's good to mix things up. I suggested that cooking kills a lot of anti-aging nutrients that keep vamps looking young. I asked her to let me know who was on the menu. Kids these days. 🥰
-
Serenity - I'll be interested to know what's on your daughter's menu.
I believe Jazzy is taking one of her periodic sabbaticals for the month of September so we may be w/o her posts for awhile.
-
Minus - I’ll let you know about the menu. Hope Jazzy has a fun September.
We’ve had a drop in temp today. Seems like summer is over here. Remember Cruel Summer?
-
Wow, Serenity. "Vampire cooking" - that's one I'd never heard of. Actually sounds kind of interesting.
-
threetree - Her conference is on Sunday. We loved watching the Hannibal series so much that we have the cookbook using non-human meat. 😁
Sinne Eeg - The Windmills of Your Mind 👍
-
This is different. Interesting sound. Quite calming.

Had the worst failed attempt at starting an IV today. It was the first time I actually swore out loud. There was no nurse to access my port so the tech gave me 3 options: let her try again, let someone else try, or reschedule the CT scan. I asked for someone with the most experience. She said that was her, so I asked for the best one. I don't think she appreciated that. Still, the next technician came in, looked at my arm for a vein, and got it immediately without having to move the needle around. The rest of the appointment went smoothly.
I stress eat. My husband picked up burgers, chocolate, and Coke. When I finished that, I refilled my glass with the remaining Coke and added ice cream. A Coke float helps to flush out iodine, right? Feeling better now.
-
Serenity - So sorry about your IV problem today! I love your, "asking for the best" in lieu of the most experienced. Good for you. Wow, an ice cream float - now there's a real nice slice of joy. Glad you are feeling better and have my fingers crossed re your scan results.
-
threetree - Thank you! I don't have the easiest veins, but they're not impossible. I have a large bruise from the failed attempt. I couldn't imagine letting her try again. At least she listened when I wanted someone else. I've had others keep wanting to try. Now I know to make appointments on weekdays during business hours if I want a nurse available for my port.
-
Hehehe, great joke Serenity! I don't come on here as much anymore, just wanted to stop in on this thread and say Hi! and to thank you for the nice smiles I found on your thread. Sending you good thoughts.
-
oldladyblue - Thank you! Drop in anytime though I understand it’s good to step away.
My chocolate orchid is in bloom! Wish I could share its scent through smellavision.

Fleetwood Mac - Landslide ❤️
-
Ah - Stevie Nicks... What a way to start the day. LOVE the guitar work. I didn't know this song so I looked up the lyrics. "well I've been afraid of changin'...Can I handle the seasons of my life" ??
-
Minus - It's a beautiful song, isn't it?
How about this one? Watch the video to see all the talent on stage.
Roy Orbison - Only the Lonely ❤️
-
Great one, Serenity! And to think that the Beatles used to open for him in the early 1960's.
-
Oh Lord - I don't think I can do Roy Orbison just before bedtime. I'll listen tomorrow.
-
Michael Sheen - ‘Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’ by Dylan Thomas 🥰
-
Yes - thank you. Rage, Rage'.... I have not seen Michael Sheen speaking this. Excellent rendition.
-
Minus - He is so good.
Got my Novavax booster this morning. The nurse wondered why I wanted the injection in my thigh, so I explained that I had lymphedema in one arm and then showed her my bruised and scarred arm from last week's CT scan. Cancer Show and Tell. 😬
The injection site was a little sore for a few hours, but it feels ok now with no swelling at all. While I'm glad I was able to get the mRNA vaccines, I'm thrilled I was able to get Novavax. I plan to restart Ibrance tomorrow night. This is just a few days extra time off instead of weeks for the other shots. 👍
-
Pretty orchid Serenity! I've never seen one that color.
Out my kitchen window. Visiting squirrel today.
I finally figured out how to get a photo off of my phone and onto this site!!! Joy!!
-
oldladyblue - I love your garden! How are your orchids doing? My other orchids are working on new leaves and roots.
I’m a fan of Novavax. I only felt soreness at the injection site yesterday. I had the worst side effects from Moderna and mild effects from Pfizer. I’ll try to get another Novavax booster in 3 months. After that I would wait 5-6 months unless we get an intranasal vaccine.
Glad to hear good news from Ukraine 🇺🇦 🌻👍.
