Hi Dorothy....
Greek food for me tonight as off to a cycling club meeting. Bought prime steak as last day of sale for tomorrow evening. Can't wait to indulge, and yes you are welcome.
Chicken story reminds me of my father and his pet rooster. You can tell where this one is going. Anyway, the upshot is that once he and my mother were married, he never again ate chicken!
Need to get my butt to the other end of town in rush hour traffic. Hopefully, I have guessed right as to best route. But the SUN IS OUT and I am healthy. WOO-HOO!!!! - Claire

Claire, I just love Greek food. There are many Greek restaurants around here. I surely can not cook as good as the Greeks. Steak does sound good for tomorrow, tell me what time. And please, don't remind me of the poor cow who sacrificed his life for us. I hope you found your way into town. I'd get lost, fer sur.
I think I need to sleep now, whoa the tenders made em too strong. Nighty night girls!

Girls, Have been away from computer all weekend while my niece was here to stay with me. All is well, just behind on everything. Had a great weekend but reality is crashing in hard again.
Husband is shaving my head in about 10 minutes and I am struggling with that. Threw out every hair product I had in the house and made him take it to the trash can outside. Will be okay once its over but god I had this canser sh*t.
Hope you are well. The bus can stop by Friday. That's my next chemo. I'll try to catch up with all the posts tomorrow. Just too tired/depressed tonight.

I'm totally "spent" tonight. Haven't been sleeping well.....guess I need to keep taking my ambien and/or ativan at bedtime if I want to sleep and not wake up hourly!!!!
Hubby left this morning for the week...he has a big trade show in Phoenix. Son's car was at the mechanic and the car was ready today.....so rode DD's bike there (mine is too big to fit in DS's car...I have a great big, heavy cruiser bike)....well DD's bike is really too small for me (I knew that) so it was a hard ride.....I rode on the side walk to the bike trail....just after I got on the trail, I just about wiped out....the handle bars were turned all the way round and I was thrown off the bike...thank goodness I didn't crash or I would have been hurt pretty badly as there was a small wall right next to me....Not sure what happened.....my knee is scaped and a little sore, but really no worse for the wear, except TIRED!!! No energy to do anything...physically and mentally wiped out....of course I pay for it tomorrow when I'm behind in my Passover cleaning...I'm almost done, but still have more to do in the kitchen....then to start cooking.... I was worried about riding a regular mountain bike as I haven't ridden one since before Dx....that is why I got the cruiser bike...I had this irrational fear that I would fall off the bike!!!...I love the cruiser....it is so comfy....I sit upright and it has a bike fat bike seat!!!
Going to get in bed as soon as the news is over, by 10:30 and read....I have a good book that is over due at the library and want to try to finish it....I can't renew it as someone else has requested it...the book is a week overdue!!!!
Going to go make my lunch for tomorrow and get my stuff organized.....Sweet dreams to one and all at the HTL!!!! Karen

Karen.....my goodness. Glad you are OK.
Hopefully, you will finish the book and drift off soon. I am usually ready to sleep before I finish the two papers I get.
A mountain bike is a lot different than a road bike. I was struggling yesterday in the wind as needed my arms on the outside handlebars as opposed to in the center. You don't have that problem with the wider handles of a mountain bike or hybrid. My friend Amanda was riding my hybrid and she wasn't struggling to keep her balance the way I was. Road bikes are tricky.
BTW - I didn't learn to ride a road bike until 6 years ago. Had a three speed and then a hybrid prior to getting one.
My meeting was fun, but appetizer platter was only a "bite". So reheated potatoes and turnips with some cheese to put some real food in my body. Will get something more substantial next time.
Sleep well, Karen. I am sure you will feel like a new woman in the AM. - Claire

Good morning, Loungettes! My apologies for not getting on last night, I got home from work and sat down to put my feet up for just a minute, the next thing I new it was 8:30 pm. Emotionally tired, I think.
The reaction I got to my resignation was not exactly what I was expecting. One co-worker, the one who will end up with the worst of the mess of my leaving, hugged me and said she was glad I was taking care of myself, then confided she is thinking of leaving, too, and for the same reasons. The director said she could respect my need to take care of myself, and acted rather uncomfortable. I think she didn't believe I would actually walk, and that she made a mistake in handling the situation.I can tell she has no idea how to cover for my absence and it is dawning on her how much trouble the program is in with me leaving and 2 faculty retiring. A couple other facutly, including the one who spoke to the director about the rudeness of the group, are talking about the changes that are happening and are starting to look into other job opportunities. I may have started a mass exodus!
I'm going to tell the students tomorrow after clinical that I'm leaving. I've been rehearsing what I will say during my drive time. So much I want to say, but that would be bringing myself down to their level.
Goldie--my office mate and another freind got a HUGE giggle about the brownies I delivered along with me letter! Made my day!
Kymn--Eat all you want, the chemo has to burn off a lot of the calories, right? Hope you are getting some energy back and able to putter around the house a bit.
Oops, people coming in (I'm at work) so gotta get off --more later, promise!

Green Bean is back with her Beanglish! I often wonder if you can type away without even thinking about it. I know it takes me a little longer to read it, and it's so fun figuring out your words. And no matter how hard anyone else tries, you are the MASTER! Oh lordy Beans, what a silly yoke!
Kymn is perking back up, I can see it!
Stanzie, that sounds like quite the set up for you piggies.
Claire, glad all went well at your appt. Congrats for a good report. That is a hilarious story about the drinking horse!
Junie, dyed chickens? Real ones? OMG! Is that why they died? That is horrible, and then to have one live and see grandma do that? No wonder you drink!
DorK, I already addressed about her fur baby.
Kathy, like you said, the guy new you got out! Besides, if he can afford to be losing that much in one hand, he either has expendable cash or he has a problem!
Awwww, hugs for you Kristy. It is a hard thing to do, and of course we can be there on Friday. But you know how we can be now!
Oh no Karen (Dottie quit laughing) you poor dear. So happy you didn't get hurt too bad. You will be joining Stanzie with aches and pains from falling. Your DH should have great weather in Phx.
NM, NO APOLOGIES, remember? I think DorK made that rule. Sounds like an awesome day. And ooooh, so sad that they are scrambling now...........NOT! Looks like Sh!t is officially hitting the fan! Glad the brownies were a success.
Who's The Boss Drink Recipe
NM's The Boss!
- 1 part Rum, orange
- 2 parts Sour Apple Pucker
- 1 part Vodka
- 4 parts Lemonade
Chill the vodka, rum and pucker. Mix in large quantities with ice

Dorthy - how is Mocha?
Beanie - mine is always chocolate... they just taste so much better.
Kymn - I think it's the moon... I binged all day yesterday. DH asked if I wanted something and I told him, hmm, well I just ate a handful of almonds, then a bowl of yogurt (homemade without sugar, etc) and berries, and an apple so I think I'm okay for awhile. He thought that sounded pretty healthy but I literally ate nonstop for about an hour.
Junie - I grew up on a farm too. Didn't eat chicken for years! We had a pet pig names Charlotte... knew where that was going though since you can't really milk a pg and they don't lay eggs. My grandma had a dog chained in the yard too. Funny how we turned out ok... and I have a daughter who is a strict vegetarian and will probably turn out to be an animal rights activist.
I think I missed a day... had my tatts done yesterday - wow, that was intense! There was no pain but lots of bruising (who knew there was any blood left?) and I was tense throughout the procedure so every muscle in my body is now sore and my tummy is very unhappy. Good thing I don't have too much work to do today. I think they are going to look great but I have to stay wrapped for a week. Then I'm getting a new top to show them off...
or maybe I won't need a shirt...

Wahine - You and Claire talking about shingles shots, is that anything like tequila shots? (j/k) I never had chicken pox so I don't think I would get that shingles shot...my sis had shingles once and it was painful, but she got over it okay, but it took quite a while, it was after she'd had some major stress that it flared up. Sounds like you are having fun at the casino and what a story about the big better and the dealer got blackjack! Wow!
NM - That director sounds like a major biotch! A good director would have tried to understand what was needed to keep you. I'm glad your co-worker expressed the same kinds of feelings that she is thinking of leaving. I'm sure your talk to your students will be a total class act!
Goldie - Dint you have some bloodwork too? I'm sorry if I missed that or just my brain is still having memory probs from chemo (and senility), I'm hoping yours came out good and all. Yep, dat sheet jus rolls right off de ol fingertips, dunt no why but glad itz am-u-Z-eeeng. Love the "sh*t hits the fan t-shirt and great idea for a "NM's The Boss" drink, I'll drink to that for sure!!!
AStorm - Congratulations on getting you tatts, I'm so glad it wasn't painful and so so so glad they will look great!!! Love the new top you're getting to show them off!!!
Claire - I am so so so ecstatically happy for you on your good check up, good work & many more good check ups to come. That's great you get 6 months off!! Wooo hoooo! Glad you are getting some sun, it's cold here, but quite sunny today, yay! Love the Wales horse story, that proly did get his buns moving! Oh yum, I love Greek food!
Karen - Sorry to hear you're not sleeping and hope that gets better as it's so hard to function when you're all tired out. That's scary about your bike accident and I'm glad you weren't badly hurt. Sure hope you will take it easy and not overdo it for Passover, and hope you get some sleep!
Kymn - I second NM and others, no guilt about enjoying some good food! Hope you are doing well, it does sound like you're feeling better.
Dorthy - So glad Mocha got to the vet and got some antibiotics, I'm glad you were able to leave work early. Good idea to send wahine some booze, I was wondering about capaccino too, so glad you sent her an HTL dwinky!! Gotta ask, are gerbils bigger or smaller than hamsters? I think they look similar, how fun you earned money on your paper route for their home...love the story of hiding them in your drawer till one escaped!
Junie - wow! What a story about dyed baby chicks and so sorry your chick became dinner...my dad grew up on a farm so had similar stories, just wow! When I was a kid I got a duck for Easter a time or two and my bff's dog got them...we all got mad at her, but really it was the dogs fault...how we've stayed friends all these years is amazing, we've known each other since wez about 1 or 2!
Husker - Glad to see you back and spittin venom about having to shave...I'm so sorry about that, but you are doing all you can do beat that nasty cancer out...please, please, please vent as much as you like here because you're talking to friends who know how hard all this is and we will be here to help you get through it! Got the bus all reserved for Friday, so we will be there with you for the next chemo...DorK will you get Pants to stock the likker cabinet? and Junie, can you bring a load of foil balls so we can all snort our way to Nebraska - yahoo!!!
Stanzie - That is so cool you had such an elaborate system for you guinea pigs...they are so fun to watch run around...we had made a lot of ramps and things for them too and then I would let them run in the garage or on the grass outside, I wish you had taken a picture and there little noises, queek queek are so cute!
So who's coming for happy hour today...it's getting closer to that time, oh boy oh boy!!! Last one with a NM's the Boss dwink in her hands is a rotten egg!!! he he he he he!
0 -
Ooooh, I love the Boss Dwinkie! And it was soooo nice of Jocks to have a whole pitcher ready for me when I came in!
An' even nisher of Pants to have a wheelshair to pwush me ovah to the pool where the second pisher was waitin'. 
An' I'm getting such a relaxing root fub, oops, I mean foob rut, oops, fooT ruB.
ONly 6 more hours to pway nicey nicey wif the howwible chillun then I get to tell them to go to H E Double Hockey Shticks. YEAH!!!!!!! 
So far Ms Director has asked 2 faculty to pick up for me with my clinical group, so far 2 have told her no, they are not taking on this miserable group at the last minute!
Looks like she's going to be stuck with it. Looks like they're going to have to make up clinical time during final exam week--oh how they will LOVE that! 
And oh, how sorry I am--NOT! 
Great pics, AStorm!

HI ladies, just wanted to let you know I am still alive and not in the hospital or anything, still feeling gross and sad wish this sickness would just lift I hate mirrors
hope you are all well
Love you all

Kymn Thinking about you and know this is the shitty part of all this - the treatment is a huge challenge, hair loss, feeling like crap. Try to just rest, go with what your body is telling you. I know my journey seemed never ending, bilateral breast cancer, two lumpectomies, onward to double mastectomy followed by chemo and one year of Herceptin. Look back now and say holy sh*t how did I get through all that. I did my family, friends, and sites like this where we can all let it hang out
(did I really say that "let it all hang out" you can tell I'm a child of the 60s!!! best wishes Lois

So sorry you aren't feeling well Kymn. Hope this passes soon. I borrowed the Magic Mirror from Romper Room for you:
... remember Mr. Do Bee? 
... speaking of which...
NM, are you getting dwunk at work? I had a miserable job once where I gave notice... it was really hard to drag myself to work every day and by the last day I got stoned and then went out to lunch with the people I liked and drank too much... i thought, "either I'm going to get sick and go home early, or I'm just not going to be feeling any pain... either way is ok" I did make it through the day but I was pretty high and don't really remember much...
I'm a little bit sicky-poo... been that way since I got back from the tatts appointment yesterday. I thought I was just being melodramatic, but I feel kind of icky today too. Maybe it's from not drinking coffee. And maybe feeling sorry for myself cuz I just hate it that I have to wear bandages for a week again. Ok, I'm going to Peet's for a caffeine fix and then I'll spend some time with WD -- he always makes me laugh... and where is Wahine?

DorK.... Am ready to share dinner with you. Right now, making Potatoes Anna. This will be with my steak. Having a nip of wine ahead of everything. Thinking some beet tops and corn to go with everything. (Mania for 2 veg.)
Got biscuit cutters tonight so don't have to use a wine glass next time I make scones or cookies.
Gail.....sorry your tats hurt but not surprised.
Kymm and Kristy.....know it's a long slog but both of you will get there. Promise.
I have a bone density scan tomorrow afternoon. They had an opening and I decided to go for it. Hoping all is well. No reaction from the shingles shot. These are recommended for those of us over 60, although can happen to younger people. The idea is to get protection while healthy, but still only about 50% effective. Since a dreadful ailment, I am willing to get it.
My great aunt had shingles in her 90s. I remember her being almost in tears. So if I can avoid this one, I will.
Dorothy.....hoping your puppy is feeling better with antibiotics. Poor guy.
NM.....would love to forward the "talk show host" cartoon, but unfortunately don't know the person well enough. Did send to a friend who will put it to good use. This one had me on the floor in tears.
Gail......bottom pic looks like one of the Fremont Solstice Day Parade cyclists. Hoping for a warmer day this year. Last time I saw it, we were so overcome by all the nudity that we needed to repair to a local pub for something strong.
Maybe I should sign up for that one to help with weight loss efforts??????????????? - Claire

Hi gals,
Had a Bailey's Mint Chocolate when I got home, and then a little more, which is probably not a good idea with my meds, but...sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get through. Last night was pathetic and I covered the mirrors with newspaper and made my husband afraid for my mental health. HA! He says, "That newspaper thing was scary" and I told him, "have you looked at me? I'm scary." then he had no response, but did give me a hug. Didn't win major husband points with the reply, but it is what it is. I sat in the shower for 20 minutes, came out an went to bed. Feeling like an actress with my really cute hair (better than my old hair), 15 pounds lighter and new clothes. I look so good! I look so strong! I must be doing great! And I feel like a fraud. My house is a mess with all the crap I need to get through the day. PIlls lined up, special foods in the frig and cupboard in case of diarrhea or constipation, wigs, scarves, hats, mouth rinses. I could go up against anybody in the nursing home for all the stuff I have.
I tried some accupuncture to see if that would help the tingling/numbness. Not yet convinced that alternative therapy beats modern chemistry. we'll see. Just disappointed that three days before 3rd chemo I'm still not feeling great. So swing on by Nebraska. I'm actually kinda looking forward to sitting in the chair all day with my iPad and headphones, plugged into the machine and not answering phones, emails, irritating parents and staff. Me time.

Kristy, Oh dear,my heart just goes out to you and Kymn so very, very much. I got teary-eyed reading your post. and cannot even fathom what it would be like to go through that. Of course we will be with you on Friday, and are with you even now. Not sure if your DH could have said anything at that moment, but was very sweet to give you a hug. He probbly wishes he could just fix everything, but all he can do is be with you, love you, and support you.
Got home a little while ago. Long drive. DH had another good day and hit a nice jackpot, but I ended up just up a teensy weensy bit. I got carried away with seeing so many machines pay off....but of course mine didnt! OH and this is sooo good....the casino bar has some premium beers on tap, and they have SHOCK TOP, which we love! All free, except for tips.
Take care girlz! Feels like Sunday night to me, so its hard to believe tomorrow is Hump Day. Where is Chrissy?????

Kristy.....believe your husband when he tells you that you are still beautiful. Main Squeeze couldn't hide his (obvious) physical attraction for me. Was a major help.
Looking back, we both laugh at how it "didn't matter". Somehow, I never lost the urge, or the need.
The house......hire someone to swab out the joint. ?!?!?!?!!?!?!? GET A GRIP GIRL. No time for drudgery. In fact, ban it forever.
So ixnay the drudgery, and have your husband help you with the other. I am sure he will be more than happy to help.
Good night.....PAR-TAY on. - Claire

I just wrote to all of you and would swear I hit submit but do not see a post. Hmmm, that was weird. Well no time to do it again, hope it went through and that I am just dwunk.
To all who asked about Mocha, he is doing much better today. Love you all!

Beans, yes I had blood work done recently, just haven't gotten the results back yet.
Gail, I hope you didn't get nips like that first picture you posted! Why would anyone WANT nipples like that? Those can't be real, can they?
Hugs for you Kymn, and please stay out of the hospital. I understand about the mirrors too. I still hate them, cuz it's a reminder every time you look into one.
Gail, funny story about going to work drunk! Love the dragging ass cartoon. Sorry you are feeling icky poo and hope it passes soon.
Hugs for you too Kristy, glad you had the Baileys Mint Chocolate and I hope it made you feel a little better. Sorry, but I did chuckle about the newspaper on the mirrors. I'm sure you could think of a better way to have "me time". You and Kymn just have to hang in there. You will be ok, you will be ok, you will be ok....you HAVE to be ok! For you! I took supplements to help prevent neuropathy. I think one of them was L-Carnitine.
Welcome home Risque Rachel. Glad you and DH had a good time, and even won!
Good news on Mocha Dorothy, glad he is starting to feel better. Well, you must be dwunk, no post from you! Have a grande day!
I am out of here tomorrow morning, 6am. Have a 10 am onc appt. then off to SoCal. Get to visit with my grandkids, can't wait. Taking b-day gifts for my grand daughter, although her b-day isn't until next month, she will be 3. We are picking her up early Friday morning as my grandson is having a minor procedure done on his eye. He has a sty like growth on the inside of his eyelid that won't go away. Anyways, not sure if I will be able to check in but you all will be in my heart. Kristy, will be there with you on Friday!
How about Slippery Nipples, Buttery Nipples, Frosty Nipples and Pink Nipples, for our DOTD, in honor of Gail's new nips.

Lori, I am SO glad you will be seeing your g'kids soon....know how excited you must be! Hope your little g'son does well with the surgery to remove that from his eyelid. Ouch! I had forgotten that we both have g'dau's with b'days in May! Mine is 10 yrs older though....she will be a teen....and her mom still LOOKS like a teen! We will have them here in the first part of May and will take the 2 g'sons away for a couple of days so they can have fun together since they so rarely get to see each other. Good luck with your onc visit!!! And thanks for the nipple dwinks...the buttery nipple sounds like something I would like right now.....yummmmmmm.
Oh Dorothy, Hope you can redo your post. I HATE when that happens as it takes so long to write it all.
Happy HumpDay Honey Girlz!

good morning ladies,
Kirsy I think I might put some newspaper up on the mirrors great idea. Do your veins hurt at all? Mine do its like I cant stretch my arm out completly without it hurting, I hope that goes away when this is all done.
I am going to venture out into the world today, get some stuff for DD birthday party on Sat and stuff to make cupcakes and homemade oreo's. Feeling better than yesterday, not fabulous but hey funcitoning is what I am aiming for at this point. I kind of hope my chemo gets postponed a week now as I dont want to do this again in 2 weeks, I need time to get my emotional strenght back and get that smile back on my face, the real one you know where it goes all the way to your eyes.Starting to have some movement if you know what I mean its been 6 days I feel like a bloated pig. Also going to attempt to get on my exercise bike at some point today.
Ok well of to shower
Hugs to you all

Kymn,
I am feeling better and the newspaper will come down today. I have a port so veins haven't been a problem. Thank god for the port, because my viens are terrible anyway. When I had lumpectomy, it took 8 sticks before they could get IV in. No more of that. But the port aches sometimes and it bothers me to feel that bump in my chest. I feel like I traded one lump for another. but it is beneficial so won't complain too much. This song was on the radio and it really is one we all need to listen to. So for Kymn, and all the rest in the chair this week or shaving heads...this song's for you (Christina Aguilara)
Spoken:
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today0 -
Kymn, kind of laughing at you changing your mind about the delayed treatment! Glad you are feeling better each day. Maybe we should have sent you some of NM's brownies! I asked you a few times if you were getting a port and you never answered, but I can see the answer now. NO. I also had a port, so can't answer your questions about the hurting veins. Certainly that would go away after a time?
Husker, I have bad veins too....but would not allow that many tries....no way! 8? Especially when they only have one arm to poke! Beautiful song, I am going to google it, so I can listen to it.
Kathy, I will have fun, I can't wait. The kids paternal grandmother doesn't live too far from us, a little over an hour and she is going out there next week. I would love it if they would let me bring Melody home and send her back with her other grandma. Thing is, they have never been away from their parents, and I know Kelley (DH's daughter) well they never spent the night at grand parents either. So I think they would be shocked if I even ask. Gosh, I loved going and spending the night at my G'mas!
NM, hope all went fabulous for you today.
Junie, HD, miss you gals and BIG SHOUT OUT to my girl DEE!
Love you all!

Hey Dort..........look again! There were 4 not 3! Who needs to eat anyways!
Kristy, I looked this song up, as it's one of mine that I find inspiring. I've provided the video as well. It's called "Stand Back Up" by Sugarland.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpLoD723kx8
Go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before,
I may stumble, yeah I might fall,
Only human aren't we all?
I might lose my way, but hear me when i say,
I will stand back up,
Youll know just the moment when ive had enough,
Sometimes im afraid, and i dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,
I've been beaten up and bruised,
I've been kicked right off my shoes,
Been down on my knees more times than youd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
Theres a light that just wont let me,
It might take my pride, and my tears may fill my eyes,
But I'll stand back up,
I've weathered all these stroms,
But i just turn them into wind, so i can fly,
What dont kill you makes you stronger,
When I take my last breath,
Thats when I'll just give up,
So, go ahead to take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
You might win this round but you cant keep me down,
'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when ive had enough,
Sometimes im afraid and I dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,
Youll know just the moment when ive had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I dont feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up.0 -
I love both those song lyrics! Such great messages there.
I finished the clinical day and then told the students I was done. Told them I don't deserve to be treat the way I had been, was not going to let it continue, today's my last day, good bye and good luck.
Turn on my heel and walked out the door. The look of shock on their faces was gratifying.
I'm feeling a little shaky about it (was I too mean, should I have said more, etc etc) but mostly I feel relieved. I don't even feel sorry for the director who was left to deal with the fallout.
Drove to the home town, ate a marshmallow sundae with chocolate ice cream, 
went to the church group meeting, then had a massage. Not even going to need a xanax to help me sleep tonight like I did last night.
I'm making myself totally unavailable to the students from today on,
just need to go in and do CPR tomorrow and start cleaning out my stuff. The worst is over!

Hi gals,
Popping in to the lounge for a night cap! Loved both songs posted but found myself singing, oh no, no one wants to hear that!
Kymn and Kristy, thinking about both you gals, hang it there and know that This too Shall Pass.
NM, congrats, you sound wonderful and relieved and so happy. And hell no, you were not too mean, they had it coming to them. I am happy for you, congrats! Great pics as always.
To all of you beautiful woman, peace and lots a love to each. Sweet dreams, I am typing with one eye opened, I wish I could share my ability to sleep with those who can not. Good night!

Kymn....(((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))
Claire....my husband had shingles at age 28...so I'll definitely get the shot as soon as my pcp tells me too....She had me get the pneumonia shot a couple years ago and is insistent I keep up on the flu shot....this year she made me get it before I went to Israel.
Its raining here in Denver....not somthing we have seen in some time.....so an excuse not to walk....so I'm going to get off the computer in a few and make the beds for company and finish cleaning the oven....just needs to be wiped out.....
Regarding the bike "accident' all i have is a know just before my knee on my shin....doesn't hurt but its getting really colorful!!!! DD bike needs to be adjusted!!
NM......I am thrilled that the boss is feeling the pain with you leaving.....good luck when you tell the students.....
Junee.....how you doing?
Astorm....hope your not too sore....I thought about the "finishing" touches, but my PS said NO for me...have fun shopping when the bandages come off
Chrissy.....Stanzie.....HD....Kristy when is your next chemo.....oh my goodness.....I can't think of any more names....must mean only one thing....I'm not spending enough time here!!! Sweety dreams to one and all.....

Dort, I'll join you in singing....the rest of the gals can decide who is worse! I've heard you, so I think I will win (at being the worst)
NM............sounds like a POYFECT DILLIGAF DAY. Hooray for you! Turn and walk away....thats it girl....keep on steppin!
Karen, hoping that a colorful knee is all you get! Us girls on the hormone blockers have to be careful as they deteriorate the bones. Therefore easier to break. Not sure if you are on any, but we all must be careful anyways!
Ok, I'm done..............nite nite! Dorothy I wish you could give sleep away too. Hoping I don't have a bad night tonight, have to be up at 4am!

Hi everyone!
Got my files backed up today and made a new System Disk. Almost there with getting my computer operational. So glad to be past this one.
NM......glad it's over for you and on to new and better things work-wise. One of my cycling friends just enrolled for a career change into nursing. But I know she wouldn't give major lip and is super careful around safety.
DorK.....come by for grilled lamb chops. Just getting good right now. With good wine of course.
Karen....glad the shingles shot is behind me. Minimal reaction, and no I don't want this one.
DorK.....bet I can out-sleep you. Particularly after an endurance event.
I need to get back to my dinner now. BottomZ up an Sweet Dreams everyone! - Claire
