Best Of

@shanagirl Even though your brother has been gone a few years, I know how you miss him. My brother has been gone two years new and I still miss him too. How is your pain? Are you any better?

@micmel It is good to see your post. I know you are in a difficult time. I pray for you and Gabby everyday. My own mother has been gone over ten years now. I never knew how much I really needed her until I was dxd. She died of ovarian cancer before I was dxd. I could really use her wisdom and hugs!

My tumor markers continue a slow climb and my onc has pushed up my scan date. I am a little worried this time…

I continue to read but don't post often. Hoping everyone had a safe Halloween and can settle into a warm place.

@cookie54 I am grateful you are having no mouth issues, that certainly makes life easier. In your pocket that bone density has improved for you and yes I did see the devastation. Very sad but glad to see other countries are coming together to help, even Trump is pledging help which is good.

I wound up in bed early yesterday so woke up earlier and still had 8 hours sleep. I am exhausted but that is not unusual the first couple of days post Herceptin so nothing to worry about there. No real schedule except for getting recycling out, have a lot of containers that held cat litter to go out and multi paper bags to recycle from Walmart. I am also working on organization in the living room. Got several containers left to organize and put in a more sensible arrangement. Will put my instant pot and the wet dry vac in one or two containers and they can be moved out to the living room. Wet dry sitting on top of one of the washers but does not need to take up residence there.Recycle needs to be corralled too. I do put stuff in the bin outside as I run out of room in my house to store stuff.

I am not sure what I want to have for breakfast, have a craving for the Mcdonald's I did not order yesterday.

EDIT I did order an egg mcmuffin meal with two hashbrowns, extra butter and mayo and tea. It should be good. Later planning to open beans, add some spicy bbq chips and chop those into the beans and add the mix to some mexican rice I will make I think, that would be a fairly healthy meal.

I actually was missing DB so I called him and just talked to him. I did mention my annoyance at the brain cyst. He said it is OK to feel upset about it. I told him that in thinking about it, I knew what I could be facing and could not sit around and cry all the time and that I need to pay attention when I see the doctor. I mentioned that I was concerned about SIL and will be glad when she feels able to tell me what is happening, told him I was not angling for that info. Will wait until she wants to share. Told him I may call sometimes so we can keep contact, we are not doing groceries anymore as I can get what I need but a visit to have a coffee and chat would be good and I did apologize for assuming he could or would do stuff for me without asking if he could. It was a good chat and we did tell each other that we loved each other. This got me feeling better about things.

Thinking I could have a mini pizza and a half slice of garlic english muffin for dinner, I did not get much done today, napped on the couch a lot but I am unbothered by that either. I can take garbage and recycle out next week, keep them out back til next week on garbage day in the garbage bin, recycles are still going into a large container. Tigger has made a new hiding spot on top of the bigger bin lids but that is fine. At some point, plan to put the instant pot in a container as well as the wet dry vac, probably separately.

EDIT did not have pizza and garlic muffin, wound up having peanut butter and some of the honey nut Cheerios, was good as usual. Probably have pizza at breakfast, I will see.

I hope all had a good day, Happy Halloween to those celebrating with scary movies, handing out candy or whatever you may do. I was in pockets all day long as well.
