Sorry I have been MIA lately. Been super busy at work and have had very little computer time. I see FK is trying to get a party started here. Hope everyone is doing well. I am so many pages behind and can't go back to read everything. Hope everyone is doing well. I've missed everyone.

Tomboy, I'm sorry you are having family problems. Yesterday I attended the family session at the mental health facility where my son is receiving treatment. This group is only teens who are dealing with depression, anger, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, self harm, addictions, and so on.... It was so hard to see these kids who are so special and unique, with so much to offer the world.
I want to throw the horrible feelings these kids are having into the bonfire. Also mean, insincere people. And my fatigue! Hating driving to the med center everyday for rads.

Throw it all in and watch it burn baby burn!
How about fireworks around the bonfire?
I raise my glass to absent friends and wish us all a Happy New Year! ♥

Had my second post op today. Nipple stitches out and Dr. Kim said everything looked great for being 2.5 weeks post. He was amazed that the radiated side is healing better than the non radiated side. The open wound is better but still needs care. Said it should be fully healed by next visit in a month. Told me to rest one more week, then let the pain be my guide.

Happy New Year Goddesses!!
FK, you're NEVER too late for the group hug!!
Did Ducky get back from her trip yet?
Poppy, I'm so sorry for your troubles with your son. I hope everything turns around for him this new year. He is fortunate to have such a caring mother.
I remember the drive back and forth to rads. I had an hour drive each way. By the end of rads I was a raving lunatic!! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. The Riverside area is only about a 45 min. drive for me.
hahaha Kracker....still trying to burn that DIL???
GMA, one step at a time!! Pretty soon you'll be feeling great.
Jo, it was great to see you pop in!!!
Tomboy, sending you xtra hugs today!!
Lucy......HI!!

Slow - Did I tell you I am going to be in here neck of the woods in May? Am visiting my brother & sister in law and also meeting a pink sista for the first time. I have been communicating with her for over 4 years now. We plan on being on there about a week and it would be great to meet up with you.

Ducky, Sorry you are sick and hope you recover quickly. The crud that is going around out here is awful.
I'm glad my son is going to his treatment at the center. He is in treatment for depression and anger. They warned us it would probably get worse before it gets better. He hasn't been abusing drugs, but they test all of the teens everyday. He hasn't had suicidal thoughts, and says he doesn't understand why some of the other teens do. When he is home, he spends 98% of his time in his room on the computer, sleeping or reading books. If I say anything to him, he says "leave me alone" or "don't talk to me". His psychiatrist called us yesterday on our home phone, but unfortunately my DH was at work and I was running errands and having radiation. Wish I knew what was going on. One of the nice things is they well tell us parents what is going on. I look at the other teens and they are happy to see their parents and will talk to them. Not my son.This is harder for me than this cancer crap. So far a good thing that has come out of this is my son acknowledges that we are not the problem, he is not abused in any way, and we do not ask him to do too many chores.

Poppy, that has got to be so frustrating. My kids did spend so A LOT of time in their rooms when they were 17-18. I think most kids do. Does he have many friends or any activity that he is interested in? That has just got to be so difficult on top of treatment too. I know when my kids aren't doing well, I don't do well either. I just hope so much the counselor can help.
Ok Kracker, I found some really cute boots. I'll post the picture here - if you're interested, let me know and I'll PM you the link. They are cute, they are purple, and they have a wedge!!
They look similar to the last ones I posted, except they have women sizes!!
When/if you come here to California, we are going to play cards!! I love to play cards!!
I wish for a cure for cancer every year. I hope 2015 is the magic year!!

FK...yes my family did meet the pilot......and hopeully he did not get what I have.....this is bullshit......
Poppy......I feel so bad for you.....I know what I went through with Phil.......even though he had the drug problem.........he also had the anxiety and depression............I hope evetything works out for him...........as long as he has you beside him that is 50% of the battle...........keep us in the loop......
Hugs to all your ladies........this is a hell of a way to start of 2015........just hoping it goes away as fast as it came............worst thing is no food in the house..........and no one would dare come near the house .....LOL........can't say I blame them, and my Dr. has no hours tomorrow.................

Oh no Ducky! If I was close by I would put homemade soup on your doorstep and run!! hahaha It frustrates me to no end that we are so far away!!
Any Chinese restaurants close by that can deliver Won Ton soup? That's a good "sick" soup too.
0 -
Slow.......thought of that.........lol.........maybe I will go do a little shopping tomorrow if I feel even reasonably better......then come back and snuggle down again.............I wish you lived close too......your such a good friend......

Here in CA, we have grocery stores that deliver. Even out here where I live. Don't they have anything like that by you? You shouldn't go out in the cold if you're sick.
Oh boy.....now I sound like your Mother.
Now I get to be your BCO Mom!! hahahaha

Coming to join you all at the bonfire and adding some fuel...
The Tamoxifen that's clearly been doing squat for the last 2 1/2 years.
The stupidly simplistic "What is chemo" brochures from the nurse who kept trying to explain the concept of cell division to me, despite the fact that even my 9 year old understood it.
The "Look good, feel better" free makeup that didn't really match my skin tone (not that I didn't appreciate it). If I have to do chemo again I'm going to Sephora to spend some money on the good stuff.
The wigs I barely wore the first time around. This time I've decided I'm going to jettison the hats and scarves, be brave and go bald 24/7.
The pitying looks from those who can't stop asking "But how are you reeeally?" and the shocked ones who just don't get my family's sense of black humor and think it's awful that we joke about my cancer. It's a coping mechanism, you morons, and it helps us to laugh and feel better in the midst of a crappy situation!0 -
Oh crap Lulu....so sorry the beast is back. I hate this stinkin' disease. Burn away!!
I got some pretty cool makeup at my LGFB class. Although, I don't think it made me look good or feel better!!
But...at least it was free, and gave me the opportunity to use non contaminated makeup. I did get a bit paranoid after that class though. haha
I scrapped the wigs after awhile. They were itchy, hot, uncomfortable and gave me a headache.
I wish you didn't have to go through this AGAIN. Glad you found your way to the Bonfire though.
Black humor has gotten me through many a bad day.

Welcome back, Ducky! Let's throw those cold and flu bugs in the fire.
Jo, glad you checked in. You are always busy!
FK, hope you get to see your g-granddaughter soon....and don't forget, it's less than an hour from me.
Meanwhile, keep gambling and put those winnings towards our next road trip.Blondie, Tomboy, and everyone who is here...sending hugs and good wishes your way.
Poppy, when the rads are over you can rest and be glad it's behind you. I commuted in traffic 45 minutes each way to my ca center for rads. I always got some comfort food for the ride home...ahhh so they say rads "puts the weight on"? I think I know why....
And they say rads is "exhausting" but some of that has to do with the driving regime. Hang in there...Lulu, sorry you are going through it again...surgery date is soon. Here's wishing you a "got it right first time" experience and quick recovery. We are here...will be in your pocket.
Slow, amazing weather there...unbelievable.
I don't even know what to throw in the fire ... but it has something to do with people who cause stress in my life.
Happy New Year's Day...
Hugs to all.0 -
Joan, I love to see that smiling little girl in your avatar!
You, Kracker, Ducky and Blondie should take a road trip to California!!
Come in May when Jo comes. It would be so much fun!!
Edited to Add Blondie - I forgot she lives by you too.
