@runor When feeling lazy about underthings, I either just stick them in a mesh bag OR hand wash in the bathroom sink with cold water, both with detergent and then the softener cycle. Option two is take my salad spinner for under things, wash in cold water, drain, do rinse cycle and drain water again, stick them in the spinner in one of the portable washers to spin. Might wash up bra and undies at same time.
I had a decent night sleep, just getting started on my own chores. Laundry, make bed, clear sink. Working on one of my burner steel parts, got baked on stuff from a spill I did not notice. Will be using my scrubber head, just pull it off and run it around, maybe give a nice soak in hot water first.
Planning to air fry leftovers from yesterday's lentil and ramen, might add an egg to the mix. I have an egg cooker that can make an egg softer and then dump into. If I choose to, I may just make a hashbrown with some lentils, heat them both up and make an egg in a mini griddle. EDIT eggs are going in my egg cooker, steams them, added butter and garlic butter, 1 tsp each. Once egg is done, grab my leftovers and dump in the air fryer, had to put air fryer on floor to make room but not a problem to do that. Once egg done, put on stove, put the air fryer back on, had the dropsies and lost stuff but since floor is clean,spooned stuff back in the air fryer. The leftovers are the ramen, hotdog and lentil mix back in with couple of hash browns. Tonight, am thinking of the veggie stir fry stuff, heat in microwave first then toss all in the air fryer
EDIT The meal I just finished was some leftovers from yesterday with ingrdients mentioned just above. Egg turned out nice, I did that up first but added to the leftovers and two hashbrowns broken up. I did spill the leftovers on my floor. I scooped it up off the kitchen floor, I did dump it back in the air fryer because floor was just cleaned and I do not use chemicals but diluted vinegar so not worried. It really was delicious. Soft boiled egg was nice too.
I do hope all have a good day, I tell you I am looking forward to dry side walks, can go to Walmart on my own when only need a couple things, book a ride about an hour and a half or two hours, we'll see. For now, just did costly shopping 40 dollars but do not always need a costly shop, maybe just a dozen eggs. I do not hit up bro because I gave him a break about the groceries. Easy to have delivered or will get myself.
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
Rischaller. Same hear. It has been snowing for a while. I think things are finally cooling down and it is starting to lay. I have continued with my normal actives. Seems boring so I don't think to post. I did learn in January that my shortness of breath with exercise was not med related but a lung issue. I have been fighting this for 3 years since diagnosis. The extreme cold finally forced a referral to a pulmonologist. I couldn't breath in the cold. My right lung that had my mets became painfull when I went outside. Ct scans weren't showing anything new. Now I am working on reconditioning from the breathing issue. No more struggling to breath when doing cardio.
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@rlschaller and @brutersmom - Stay safe and warm. I hope you are both able to enjoy watching the storm from your homes, where you can cozy in and watch a relatively rare event. I love experiencing crazy weather from indoor safe places with comfort food, blankets, good music, and good company, etc. Have a great Sunday!
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
Happy Sunday to all,
We are under a blizzard warning today through tomorrow, so perhaps not going out for a walk. Sleeting now as I type. As you all know, I’m a YouTube excersise lover, QiGong and short HIIT practices. I’ve started doing some lower body work again, for stamina and balance .. side leg lifts, hamstring lifts, seated squats, and toe heal calve raises, a few times a day and it’s been marvelous. Very energizing. My OT person recommended a vibration plate which she enjoys, so I ordered an inexpensive one.. I’ll keep you posted on how it feels. Supposed to be good for circulation and resilience strength building we’ll see. She finds it relaxing, so I’m looking forward to trying it. ❤️ Rhonda
Re: Cats, cats, cats
My little Stricker is back for another snow visit. If I would already have two many cats I would keep this guy. Fortunately he is being adopted next weekend. The family already has one cat but they rescue requires all cats be spayed and neutered. Their current cat is being done this week so hopefully he will finally have a permanent home. He is such a sweety. He has been in a large cage at the store. He seems to have gotten chubby. Hopefully running around my with Tuna and Gizmo during the day will help him trim down before he leaves.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@cookie54 and @shanagirl - wishing you both extreme safety and lots of warmth with your coming storm. I'm wishing the same for any and all others that might be affected. I only know directly that Cookie and Shana are in the path.
Happy Sunday to all. Hope everyone has a restful and pain free day! Hugs to all in the living room.
Edit: I think Mel might be set to get the big snow too, so including special wishes for her too.

Re: Zoom Meet-up for Those With MBC: Place to keep chatting
02-21-2026 Hello, how r u all? On the meetup I said that I was thinking of making a chart to note symptoms, so here's what I made. The symptoms go across the top, then I put check marks in days they happen. For any specifics, I'll turn the page right to left, to the corresponding line on the other side. I think it'll really help on my visits. On February's I have 12 symptoms. Sigh..
Re: Invasive lobular carcinoma
@marleysmom I am thinking of you today. I am a fellow ILC patient and absolutely understand the agony of uncertainty and ugh, the waiting. Researching was a way to help me cope, but I found that can be a double edged sword. Online information can be so general and much of it is scary. Your case is unique, not everything you read out there applies to you. Wishing you the best as you start this journey. You are not alone.
