Best Of

@threetree Just checking in today to say hi and let you know you’ve been so much on my mind the last few days thinking about your struggles with all the new changes you’ve gone thru recently. I light a candle every night before bed for those who come to my mind that I worry about what they are dealing with each day. I just wanted you to know that dear sister.🌷🩵

@mara51506 it’s good to hear you’ve had some restful sleep and are all chipper enough to plan your day. and thee burrito and meal planning. I love it 🥰 Enjoy your day today!

Hi @irishlove dear girl. thinking of Florida lately. my yougest daughter is down there now in Stuart visiting her DH’s parent, his Dad is recovering from Colon Cancer surgery and doing well. Out playing gulf today so he must be doing well😊DD and DH ar now heading to Disney to spend 2 days in the Dolphin. they both work so hard and I’m glad they are getting away for time to themselves. She is a Vet Tech and her DH owns and runs his Nice Italian Restaurant. they’vee been trying to have a baby the last few years but no success. I fell ad for them because I know she wants it so much. But I think they waited too long. they’ve been together since she was 19 him 21. they lived together for 10 years then got engaged and married a year later. they’ve been married 7 years. I believe young people should try to have their babies in their 20s when they are highly fertile. She just turned 38 in December. It would be such a nice suprise if she came back with a baby in her belly. Oh well what will be will be I guess. So, My DH booked a flight and reservations in FT Myers in the Pink Shell Resort. We’ll stay there and visit with Our GD, her DH, and their 2 baby boys 1 and 2 1/2. Our Great Grand Babies. Can’t wait to see them again. My youngest DS is down in Sarasota also , so we’ll take a ride up to see her with her dd and DH for the day.so lots to look forward to. We’ll fly out May 4th till May 11th. Be down there for 7 nights. The last time we were down I had just started Verzenio and was on it a few months and my Onc let me go off it for the week so I wouldn’t have to deal with the side effects of the big D. But now I have not had much of that SE. just the fatigue and weakness. I’m hoping PT will help with that.

@cookie54 hey Jersey yes I’m really glad it’s getting warmer so the ice melts a little bit more. The dogs can walk more in the yard now.

Good morning all, had a good night sleep for a change. Was closer to 2am but not broken up sleep, almost 8 hours. Tonight should be closer to 1 am and subtracting an hour from each night. Also getting warmer out so will keep an eye on salt and if needed as we will get into the freeze thaw thing.

No chores on tap today but the usual wash, meal prep etc. The cord situation has been massively improved from the kitchen outlet. I did buy an outlet that rotates but it is not practical in kitchen, brought out to living room where I use it as an extra power station for charging stuff. Put extra unused appliances into an unused cabinet just below. I hang onto a chopper my mom used to use due to nostalgia, works well but just a little small. I have another chopper which is bigger.

I am unsure on meals as usual. I need to eat through the freezer so that when I am done, can keep stuff in the freezer instead of coldest area of fridge. I had a burrito last night, they are inexpensive and quite delicious. I also need to heat up some of the lean ground beef I got as a surprise, it was the three pack for 10 bucks, I ordered in the morning. I think I will simply microwave an egg and a mini pot pie together, add garlic and seasoning. Easiest dish to have and help empty the freezer, can add a few either riced veggies or sliced frozen peppers. That could be good, got to see veggies in fridge first and put it all together I think. Later on, I will figure it out. Post if really good.

I hope everyone has a good day and in pockets for everyone.

@cookie54 Honestly I really think the belly issues have been the Verzenio and cough that doesn’t go away. And on the side effects list. It seems a like all the cancer treatments seem to happen pretty often in between good days and good weeks. Then hearing on the Patch that Neurovirus is goin g around NJ makes me wonder if that’s the belly issues and not wanting to eat and nausea. Geesh! you just never know if its the treatment or something else.Also thiss time of year my body wants to go into hibernation mode, and sooo tired I could lay down & sleep all day.. I’m in my room on my bed glued to the Nancy Guthrie updates.. then a 3rd letter from someone who knows who it is.. i worry so much about her current condition.

Hi everyone. Pretty day here today. Lots of squirrels and birds at the feeders. 2 raccoons coming at night along with community cats. However, we are in a very bad drought. Daytona 500 is this Sunday and of course they are calling for rain than. Can't win for losing. lol

Ah thanks for asking about my ribs. A lovely nurse called from the GP's office and we talked about MS and steroid usage. So tomorrow I'll start the prednisone pack and hope for relief. It's so difficult for folks to determine what's what with symptoms when you have more than one disease you are fighting. For me the worst is the severe backache. It feels like I've been riding a bull. I was hoping for all good news for each and every one of you for a sweet valentine's weekend. Trips, dining out and visiting family would be lovely. Gotta get to feeling better and working out the dosage that's best for you. I recall dropping from 125 mg Ibrance to 75 mg. I almost quit completely as it plus the SERD shot created major physcological problems.

Watching olympics and the Ruth Guthrie story. My heart aches and I cry with them. How cruel can someone be? One reporter believes this was a planned kidnapping as the suspect seemed to know his way around the surveillence cameras. No car was seen out from, so that gives me pause to worry even more. Prayers being sent for her safe return.

In pockets for all you sweet ladies and may a sweet hyacinth grow in your yard and soothe your soul.
