Irish, that poem is sad but also lovely at the same time, describes how a lot of us feel. Sending hugs your way.

Not much going on here, two loads of laundry, got the wee washer cleaning up in the kitchen. Solved a problem where it was collapsing by hooking the drain hose to the dishrack above, holds it up more which is good. Doing some cloths right now. Other one got towel and other stuff in there. I am finding that the tiniest amount of Tide with oxy clean in it gets stuff very clean and it will take forever to get it used up which is good.

Not planning to go anywhere today. Going to do some major budget boosting which is great for me, playing two mobile games I get paid a little bit for and can put into paypal and add to my budget or the next time I go shopping.

I still have some of the mexican rice dish I made yesterday, planning to use some of it but add a precooked chopped egg, beans, lentils and tomatoes, put the tomato in with it for breakfast, small amounts of each. Later, planning to do a tortilla with cheese powder, garlic powder and pizza sauce, put some lentils and beefless ground with shredded cheese over top.

Hoping everyone has a good day and in pockets for all that need me.

there is always something with insurance or disability. Medication, MO’s scans etc. I hope you get that web figured out. What a pain. Once a year I have to be re approved for my disability and I hate it. It’s like proving I eat. I’m not going to instantly not have MBC! Ugh ! It came out good but all that paperwork and doctors visits!
gailmary. Thinking of you! I hate biopsies! I hate cancer. Truly hate everything about it , except you ladies. Love the doggie!

@threetree Thanks for sharing your post. I know my posture is lousy because I sit in my recliner when using my laptop. I probably should get to a table but I am too lazy… Just last week I got new glasses and they have helped some already. I seem to have weeks when I feel lousy for a few days but then recover. I have absolutely no idea why but it comes and goes. I have tracked my food but found no pattern. I feel like you said with body aches, headaches, lethargy, depression, but then it passes. I can expect it after my Faslodex shot, but it sometimes happens weeks after. I am on Verzenio and Faslodex too so perhaps it is connected? Hmmm…

Oh my so many loving posts today. So very grateful to have you all in my life.

I'm the queen of UTI's, courtesy of MS. It seems I've gotten them undercontrol (knock on wood) by 1. Taking 4 cranberry gummies daily 2. Focusing on urinating. A urologist said we all need to clear our minds and focus, not rush and not get distracted. I lean forward and ball up my fist and apply pressure to abdominal area by the bladder. I'm shocked, but it seems these two things are helping.

Hope to go out and about tomorrow, maybe St. Augustine for lunch (Conch House is our old favorite). Not sure about mixing with crowds down on St. Georges St., but wouldn't mind some fudge from that wonderful shop. Wishing you all a peaceful, painfree weekend.

I'm seeing a therapist to get help with overwhelming feelings because there are a lot things going on in my life. in our last session, she told me to allow myself to grieve and not hold back my tears, of course she brought some scientific facts about it. since then, I've been crying from time to time.

I have a liver biopsy (my second, in less than a year) scheduled for next Monday. I had a virtual meeting with my manager to request a week off, and suddenly I decided to let him know what's really going on (lesson learned from my previous job- I did not disclose my prognosis for this job). his response was "if I were close enough, I'd drive over and give you a hug right now" he said he would pray for me and ask his family to join him in praying for me too. I started crying (very unusual for me), not because of stupid cancer growing or the fear of the procedure or what the result would be- those things are always with me/us- but because I felt understood after such a looong flipping time.

Sunshine and Sondra, I shared this story to support you and I wrap both of you in a big gentle hug. crying is a good thing, I have to get used to it though…

cookie, congrats on your DD's engagement.

Mara I too thought your screen name was your real name. your recipes are inspirational.

sondraf Woohoo a Sunday visit! I hope you get some much deserved relief🤞🏻

Love ❤️ the pictures, Shanagirl! You all look so very happy. Beautiful!

@sunshine99 and @intolight, thinking of you both and hoping for better and sunnier days ahead. It is perfectly natural to get upset - let it all out as it is better out than in. Gentle hugs to you both and in your pockets with support.
