Another thing, Tigger and now Ava are overseeing the laundry process, he is on the largest washer, she is on the repaired washer as well. Tigger ensures sufficient detergent and agitation happen and he just loves the warmth he gets sitting on top and cannot see it any damages happening. I used to leave the doors on top open but now just wipe down with a towel after washing complete so he can sit.

I also had a random thought on exercise. My thought was to get to the hospital early in the future and allow a walk before checking in, be same difference as a mall walk. In my pocket to remember I thought of this. I also want to start walking on the spot at home to get used to more movement and of course get outside before the snow flies

@irishlove Oh love, you don't need to apologize. We all understand how this disease and treatments have affected our brains. It is just good to hear that you are with us knowing how tough things have been for you.

@shanagirl All those appointments are exhausting in themselves. I pray that they are helping with all your back pain.

Thinking of others here especially KBLs family and friends, Mel and Gabby.

Hi dear ladies. Shanagirl, your appointment calendar is indeed busy. Make sure to slow down a bit in this heat. That sure can make one dizzy, too. I hope the treatments improve or releave your horrible back pain.

Oh it's so sad to hear of KBL (Kris's) passing. What a memory she made for her darling family, especially grandson in the camper picture. Time with family is what we need and want. Some family members lean into our needs and make more lovely memories to cherish. Her family is so joyful to be with her. God bless them, friends and her friends here at breastcancer.org.

Mara, hope you enjoyed a walk about. I am amazed at your meals and how you subsidize your expenses. You budget so well, wish I could do a better job. I did stop 4 newspapers, which saves about $30 a month, give or take.

Hi cookie, threetree, illemae, mel, chicogoan, snowdrop and any others who I may have missed. It's difficult with the MS brain and now added chemo brain when it comes to memory. I apologize. In pockets for all your needs my dear friends.

@shanagirl I am sorry you had such a terrible summer, many appointments, pain and having to juggle it all and I also hope the tooth is done very soon for you. Your care team seems on top of it and that is all one could hope for. I can empathize with the brain situation between the length of time on chemo and rads to the brain and aging, I find it a miracle that I remember what I do.

@irishlove 30 dollars in savings is really awesome, amazing how much streaming or news can cost. I keep an eye on my streaming too, usually only have youtube premium and stack TV on primevideo. I only use the stack TV to get global which gives me the day ahead episodes of The Young and the Restless. When it comes to shopping, I usually use a card that has rewards points built in so the card that the rent is paid, it has at least 45 to 50.00 which is a shopping trip and no cost since it is always paid in ful at the 1st of the month. I did do better this month with not buying useless gadgets on Amazon, just stuff I need which is much better.

Laundry needs doing, sweep and vacuum. In between will do up the dishes still soaking from yesterday and play some mobile games to pad the budget, could make a challenge to myself to just make enough to get some stuff for free off Amazon buy earning gift cards. I would do surveys but my demographics are generally rejected and I am fine with that if I am being honest. I find them really boring.

Not sure what I am having, both pizzas were baked up, sliced up and put in the fridge as no room in the freezer so meals will focus around using up the pizza, love the pizza cutter, unsure why I did not get one of those sooner. Only thing I need do is make sure pizza finished up by Friday or Saturday. Thinking of taking slices and putting them in a tortilla stuffed with peppers or mashed beans, even a premade egg sounds good. Add either salad dressing or a mayo strip. Of course I will post on what I decide. It could change anytime.

I do hope everyone has a good day, nice to hear from others, I am in everyone's pocket always as well. The weather is still warm but moving into less humidity so need to start walking, it is the getting started that stalls me or finding something else to do. Oh well, it will happen when it happens.
