    Perhaps a holy Friar will come and do it as a work of charity. Or if not you can make your own out of the snow. Sorry, I don't know how to make this any smaller!

    too bad we can't turn all the snow into winter fairs, and try to make money from it all.

    Curve, I can't resize photos on my iPad either

    @OncoWarrior, is it really election day or are you having us on?

    I think I'm starting to pull out of my slump. Wish I had enough energy to strip the bed, it would be nice to have some fresh sheets. But I'm not going to take a chance on causing a relapse. Maybe tomorrow. I'm going to take a little nap now. See you all later.

    Which reminds me- I hate TRIPE. As soon as I saw your word, it popped into my mind and I just had to share that. 

    God, I'm tired. I worked from 730 to 715 today. Stupid number crunchers wanted the impossible for month end. O well. This too shall pass.

    I can't even think. Just put up two words that each changed two letters. Where is my brain?

    I felt so on top of things to say. I was getting it done and I understood it all, until the last hour. Then my brain turned to mush. What is the PRICE of a new brain these days?

    @RedReading, it's probably just tuckered out after working for so long. Do I understand your post that you stayed at work for just under 12 hours??? IMO that's way beyond the call of duty, especially just coming off rads like you are. I'd have been brain dead after such a long day, even before I got cancer. Whose bright idea was it anyway to let the bean counters run you into the ground like that? Maybe you can get a note from your doctor that you aren't allowed to work more than 8 hours in a day, until he clears you for full duty. If they won't listen to you that it's too much to ask, maybe they will listen to your doctor.

    Now it's time for you to kick back and have a nice tall glass of apple cider, and let someone else cook dinner tonight, or send for take-out.

    tired tonight, haven't been able to get to sleep before 3 AM in ages. So, I'm rocking in the recliner with my cat on the arm, giving her rides while I relax

    Thanks Curve, but to be honest, I'm a bean counter too. It's my job to make month end go smoothly so I was so disappointed that I couldn't man up and do the job. The people in France ad Ohio don't know I have bc, so I just look like an idiot to them when I fall apart. Boo erns as my son would say.

    Maddy, sleep is the biggest benefit to our bodies right now. Are you thinking too much babygirl? I know we take all these meds and some of them keep us awake long after we want to be asleep. I have found that 1 Gravol with my bedtime meds helps me. It doesn't put me to sleep or stop me from waking up, but when I do wake up, it seems to reduce the time necessary to get back to sleep. It also reduces my nightmares. I have a very vivid imagination which produces see really crazy dreams.

    OK so my word is DRIPS. I can't figure out how to work that in.

    Well, it's up to you RedReading but I don't think any job, or the opinion of anyone in Ohio or France, is a good reason to risk one's health. It's your job to make things go smoothly, not to work yourself into the hospital. They got along without you when you were working reduced hours while getting your rads treatment, they can get along without you for a little while longer. You don't have to say why you are limited to 8 hours and I don't think they're allowed to ask. If your doctor says you need not to work such long days for another couple of months, that's enough for them to know. If you had injured your back or broken a bone would you put it to such excess strain before it was completely healed? Wouldn't that just cause even more problems down the road?

    But now I will stop preaching at you. It's time for you to get some rest. I almost never remember my dreams, but my mom is a different  story. Several years ago she had heart surgery and almost died. She was knocked out on life support for more than a month and some of the stuff she dreamt until the drugs that kept her knocked out had completely worn off were really weird. She went on some straaaaange trips, I'll tell you!

    Red, hoping you can scale back on your hours, too. Curve is wise with her words.

    Insomnia traps my mind and makes it difficult to sleep. Plus I never know where I'll fall asleep: DH snores loudly and often grunts in his sleep so it's not always a good idea to sleep near him. Many nights (like tonight) I don't know if DD is coming home so I wait up watching TV, falling asleep on the sofa or recliner. There's also a downstairs guest room, but I have to move the cats to let me sleep

    @2TA, heeheehee the cats will jump back up anyway, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to have to catch them and shut them all out of the guest room in the middle of the night, if you dislike cats on your bed. Now I need to make a grocery list. I am running low on food again, so it's time to do some shopping. Then tomorrow I have a CT scan to see if the latest tx has worked or not, and get the results next Monday. So that wraps it up for now. Maybe I'll be back this evening but maybe not. I need to get back to work on my genealogy project.

    Well I don't think I can do that Curve and Maddy. I haven't finished paying off my mortgage yet and DH is retired, so it's all on me. I really can't afford to lose my job and in Canada it's really hard to prove wrongful dismissal. 

    I am however watching myself now. All the little PARTS and the big ones. So by next month end, I should be good.

    You will be so proud of me. I start my exercise program on Monday. Twice a week with a coach. I'm so glad my heart test said I was okay to do it after all.

    Kathy, I miss u.

    Anyway, l need to finish up dinner. Ttyl

    Erin, with that much alcamaholic beverages, I would be making many trips to the bathroom all night!

    Curve, will be in your pocket tomorrow for your scans! Praying the tx has worked and the results are squeaky clean!

    I can't think of a way to work the narrative around to my word, which is skirt.

    Curve, is BCO a break from the genealogy project or the other way around?

  • curveball

    @2TA, neither really. Lack of energy has caused me to shirk on my genealogy, and I have not been on bco as frequently as I used to either. I have another appointment with the palliative care doctor this Friday but I don't know if there is really anything he can do for me as long as I continue on chemo. If tomorrow's scan shows doxil has stopped progression I will continue with it, but I am seriously considering trying another of the hormonal medications next if the doxil doesn't work. I feel like I can't make any headway at all toward recovering my strength as long as I continue on chemo, because I keep unexpectedly getting my feet knocked out from under me, and I'm asking myself "what good does it do to control the cancer if the chemo makes me this sick?" Now to bed.
