The winds are gusting to 54 miles per hour right now! I had a ask a random man if I could hold onto him to get across the icy parking lot at the fitness center this more! Once safely inside, I walked around the track for awhile and did the mat pilates/stretch class. It's going to be way below zero this weekend…brrr.....Karen, I think you are getting some of this too.

Ruth, it’s going to be like that here in Wisconsin too. Finally will start warming up on Wednesday.

I'm cold and I am wearing 2 sweatshirts and sitting under a heavy blanket!

I am cold too. Had to add another blanket to the bed last night.

We are in a cold weather alert through Tuesday; so brrrrrrr………..I went to Yoga this morning & then did some errands (since it's supposed to be even colder tomorrow).

I cannot believe how cold it is for Ruth and m0mmy! We will have lows in the teens next week which is nothing like what ya'll are having. But it's plenty cold enough for me!
Last night I went to a Pride and Prejudice musical dinner theater with a good friend of mine. Attendees were encouraged to dress up like someone from the time period. I wore my friend's long dress and I rolled my straight hair. The dress was not the correct style but I was pleased with my hair. Had a great time!
Today I got to see my granddaughter! She's 2 months old now and is such a good baby. Makes my heart sing.

Love the hair, wonderland! If you like Jane Austin, I can recommend a very fun series; Being Jane Austin Mysteries by Stephanie Barron. They cover the last 15 years of Jane's life (after she rejects a very suitable suitor). Each year there is a mystery that she helps to solve. The books include real people from her life, real places she'd been (plus people she could have known & places she could have been, and fictional characters too (many of whom reappear throughout the series). It's kind of an Regency Era Nancy Drew for adults vib. So fun!!

Hi Ladies,
I was wandering if any of you are fighting with neuropathy since your chemo days. I am on anastrozole for going on 7 years in July. I have started to develop issues with carpal tunnel and pins and needles through out my entire body along with some brain fog.
Did any of you have issues with AL and choice to stop taking them after 5 years or less? I was considering asking my OC if I could take a break to see if these systems would calm down abit. I was working out in the gym when all this came about. I first developed sciatic in my right leg, after PT that settle down but now my arm and upper body tingle all the time.
Just reaching to see if any of you ladies experience or are experiencing this and what you are or have done about it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my comment and reaching back out with any advice.
Have a wonderful day!

Welcome life1963! When were you diagnosed and what is your stage, hormone status etc.?
I didn't have neuropathy, but chest and arm (I had 11 lymph nodes removed) tingled (and I would get 'zaps' at random times) for quite a few YEARS after surgery, which was explained to me as the nerves growing back. I was only mildly estrogen positive, so (in agreement with my oncologist) I stopped Armidex after 5 years. If you are just starting an anti-hormonal, there are several you could try…..or even different brands have different fillers that might affect you. (It took my body about 6 months to adjust to Armidex, so you do have to give it some time.) A regular exercise program can really help manage some of the treatment side effects & is the biggest non-medical thing we can do to minimize the chance of recurrence! I think it is also good for one's mental health, and can help with chemo brain too. Hope some of this ramble is helpful!

Well, the air temperature was -25 this morning with the windchill was -49. Not fun!!! I did go to Zumba this morning & HIT tonight. In between, I packed; because tomorrow DH & I head out for a much needed break, a week in Arizona. I will check in occassionally (if my phone will let me onto this site).

Have fun in AZ, Ruth!

Got to do a little snow clearing today. Had a little snow overnight.

life1963: Welcome. I was on Tamoxifen for 2 years and then switched Amiridex for 3 years. My main problems on AI were joint problems and UTIs. My feet hurt but I found that walking helped ease the pain. I was only on the drugs for 5 years total without taking a break. Wish you well in trying to find what will work for you!
Ruth: Have a fun, warm trip!
TT: Enjoy your snow. We only had a dusting a couple of days ago but the beach got 8 inches or so. Snow, sand, and ocean waves make an interesting beach scene.
m0mmy: It's cold here also but not as cold as where you are.
I haven't been doing any exercise except general walking. It's been so cold plus I'm still being cautious. It's supposed to warm up this weekend and I really need to go outside and walk.
Today I decided to paint a whimsical Valentine sign similar to one I saw on the Internet. It's on a 8"x9" piece of leftover flooring.

I've been working on projects since I haven't been active lately and it's been cold. Meant to show ya'll this fairy house I made last week. I've never made one before and really didn't know what I was doing. I cut styrofoam that had been packing material in a package and made the house frame with it. Then I decoupaged napkins onto oyster shells I had from the beach. Hot glued it all together, sprayed it with varnish and Voila: my Watermelon Hut!
I thought I would be involved in adding houses to a Fairy Garden at a Girl Scout camp so I was experimenting. Turns out that's not going to happen. So now I need to build my own Fairy Garden!

I walked 20 minutes in the house today with no complications. Not fast like I usually do if I house walk but I was glad to get moving. Will walk again later tonight.
Over the weekend I painted a couple of 6"x6" interchangeable signs for a display that I made for my dd a couple of years ago. She had fall, winter, summer, Christmas. Here is Spring and a generic Birthday one (not shown are little add-ons with name and birth date to be attached under the cake.)

Hope everyone is doing okay. Quiet days here on this thread…..
I walked outside today! Blue sky, nice and cool. Although I walked slow, it still was fantastic.

I'm back! Love your art work, Wonderland!
I walked outside every day in Arizona, although it was not 'warm', I wore jeans & long sleeves the whole trip. PLUS both DH & I caught bad colds…..which definitely hindered the fun of being on vacation. In fact, DH felt so rotten that when we got back to town at 3:00, I sent him right to the clinic. He has an ear infection & maybe a touch of pneumonia (they gave him some medicine & will call tomorrow after the radiologist reads the xrays). I don't feel that bad, so will wait until tomorrow before I decide if I need to go in or not. Even if I don't, I will probably lie low for a couple days. Blah!

Oh no, Ruth! I'm so sorry about your dh and thankful that you sent him to the clinic. I know you'll go tomorrow if you feel like you need to. Please keep us posted on the xray.
My sil has covid and she is really sick. On Thursday she sat next to a woman at a meeting who told my sil several times she didn't feel good. (Next time stay home lady!) The woman called Friday night to say she was positive for covid. Meanwhile my sil had spent all day Friday with her friends. On Saturday night my sil said she felt like she had been slammed and sure enough it was covid. Went to a clinic Sunday morning and was given Paxlovid prescription. Couldn't get it filled bc our 2 Walgreens were out of it. Finally got it yesterday. I'm worried about her bc she has a tendency to get bronchitis that lingers and lingers.
Ruth, did your friends also get sick?
0 -
So much crap going around right now. Hope Paxlovid does the trick for your SIL.
So far our friends are okay. We tried to not breathe/cough on them & were outside a lot. But, geez, we were horrible company (although we weren't sick the whole time) and we probably should have volunteered to go stay in a hotel or something……
I also need to make an appointment for Bruno. He's had a limp for way to long. We've been doctoring without success & it just keeps getting worse, so it's time for a specialist.
0 -
Ruth: Hope you and dh are feeling somewhat better today. Glad you're home now where you can feel more comfortable while being sick. And I hope you can find out the cause of Brono's limp. I'm sure it hurts you to see him limping and doing everything you can without improvement.
I slow walked today. It was 68 degrees!

We went to the clinic & it's Influenza A, which is surprising since we are both vaccinated and never had a fever or any flu-like symptoms. DH got an ear infection out of it so has some antibiotics & cough medicine. I got some cough medicine, but since I'm not really coughing, I haven't taken any. Maybe before I go to bed. I will lie low the next couple days until I feel perkier, but shouldn't be contagious anymore. We did call & got Bruno an appointment with an orthopedic specialist February 13. Sadness!

I woke up feeling lots better. I didn't exercise (and probably won't until maybe Saturday) but ran around doing errands & got lots done!! It was unusually mild, so among other things, I took both cars through the car wash. It might be awhile before I can do that again!
0 -
Ruth: Good to hear you're up to running around and getting things done today. Hope the same is for dh. I brought my car to the car wash on Tuesday. It was looking pretty bad.
Slow walked again today and all went well. It was a chilly 63 degrees.
Saddened by the plane and helicopter cause in DC.

Another hanging around day for me.

Glad you're taking it easy, Ruth.
Missing Karen, TT, m0mmy. Plus everyone else who occasionally joins here. Hope you are doing okay.
Walked earlier than usual bc rain came in this afternoon.

Gosh, it is quiet around here! I actually got 10,000 steps yesterday (the first time since Monday) & will try for the same today (utube exercise videos). I plan to get back to my regular routine tomorrow (weather permitting, we're in a Winter Weather Advisory starting later today).

love the tiles you have made…they always remind me of the folk art done by Williamsburg artist Nancy Thomas (nancy)
Since I have last updated, two weeks back, my mom's Assisted Living had the stomach bug (they claim they don't have a norovirus diagnosis but it's the same!). Mom gave it to me and DH…I can't remember ever being so sick! Gratefully recovery is quick after 3 days of uck.
School has been in a state of shock with all the government cuts and crises, students who had job offers who now don't, grant for research that have been pulled, alums who have been told not to come to their federal jobs as their agency/office is closing.
January was a very loooong month! Here's hoping for a better February, despite the shadow that the Ground Hog saw😁

Glad you are on the mend, TT! I can't even think about the government situation without wanting to bang my head against the wall & I'm not directly affected (yet).
We got a couple inches of snow, so I shoveled before I went to Zumba. I went back for HIT tonight, and did very little else in-between (not that I don't have a bunch of stuff that needs doing!). It feels good to feel normal again!
