    Deb I am so sorry that you had to go through all that.  I'm glad that you have friends and family that can help you and be with you.  I hope that things get easier.

    Minus 2  I hope for you an easy chemo.  Chocolate cake, yum  Shrimp cocktail with cocktail sauce eaten all by myself and bought already cooked, one of my favorite dinners with either virgin mary, ginger ale or coke. No sense eating something you don't enjoy, right?

    Today's mission.  YUCK ALERT don't read if you are feeling nauseaus!  Find and destroy "mystery cat pee smell spot" I know, yuck.

    minustwo -- hope you are having some yummy homemade vanilla custard right now!

    carole, I think you should also pamper yourself.  You have had a stressful day.

    Working day and night here.  Dinner: pasta with cheese and tomato sauce for the kids, probably.  Little sandwiches for me.  A raw veg juice before that.

    Have you tried the breakfast smoothie on the bco website?  I just tried it this morning -- it's really good. xxx

    Hello all - been MIA so have been catching up for many pages!  All the dinners sound so good!

    Reading over the pages have brought laughter and tears both - to all who need a hug - I send as many as you require. 

    Deb - I can't imagine what you are feeling right now, know I am thinking of you.

    Arrived at the surgery center at 8:45 and didn't get back home until almost 2 pm.  The "spot" had actually grown into a "bump" and was growing fast.  It was a squamous cell, my first.  The other skin cancers have been basal cell.  The margins of the first incision were ok.  I can take the bandage off in 48 hrs and go to the PS's office next Tues.  The incision comes close to the bottom eyelid.

    Deb, I'm sorry for your loss.  I wish you healing grace.

    carol- Glad things went ok.

    Tonights dinner is meatloaf mashed potatoes and zucchini.  I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow but am going to wait and have some of the kids friends over for a play date instead.  Today was a quiet day with no outdoor time due to the rain.  We met a friend of mine for lunch I renewed my license.  Lots of laundry etc.  Tomorrow is supposed to be hot so we need to get outdoor time in!

    First of all, (((((((((DEB))))))))).



    Catching up on this thread after our busy, sad trip to NJ.....lighter moments spent with the grandbabies since we stayed there for the four days...but what handfuls! Makes me wonder how that 60 something woman in Italy who had a baby is doing! You really forget how much energy the active little ones take. So much fun, tho, and best sleeping aid ever!



    The relative's funeral was so sad....and with record crowds since she and husband were well known/ respected educators in north Jersey. She was a person who had "sparkle" and will be so missed... not a dry eye in the church at the end of the service.



    We returned home last night to find town construction on our sidewalk, right next to our driveway. Need to get the car out of the driveway before I am paved in, since I have to

    pick up a dress being hemmed to wear to my retirement dinner tonight. I am way too tired to deal with the public works guys and their steam rollers.....Oy!



    Way too much Italian pasta and persian rice in NJ. Back to smoothies and exercise today. :)



    Hope everyone stays cool at the start of our heat wave....

    lacey - sorry about the reason for your visit, but glad you were able to get in some grandbaby time.  I hope you enjoy your retirement festivities tonight!  The ceremony and parties surrounding my DH's retirement from the military were one of the highlights of my life.

    Special K, I am picturing your handsome military DH! :)  Lacey, Deb, so sorry for your sorrows. I can only hope you are making yourself some yummy comfort foods.  Like mashed potatoes with cheese melted over it.

    I have been liking these tiny tapas sandwiches DLLP makes for me when I teach late.  Little toasted rolls, open-faced, with mayonnaise, avocado slices, and roasted peppers.  And sriracha.  And then there are vegan 'beef' ones with caramelized onions (susan!), mayo, sriracha.  A lot of little open-faced sandwiches on a plate.  And... a beer.

    Vegan mac and cheese in the oven right now.  Amy's.  Workin' from home today.

    Tonight is primavera with angel hair. Maybe a salad. I'm feeling like meatless today. I may feel like fish if we get the 3 to 5 more inches of rain they're calling for. We've already had 5 inches this week alone. Glub glub!

    bobo - he was/is very handsome - especially in his uniform!  He pulled me up on stage during the ceremony at the part when he gave his remarks and I made a joke about how he needed to save at least one uniform to put on every now and then!  As a career military guy he has always been extremely fit, still is, so with all the changes brought on by treatment I feel like I need to stand far away from him as I am much less fit, lol!  The contrast is too much!  I am working on it though so my dinners will be extremely boring for the forseeable future!

    My dad's military retirement was also impressive.. Just as good was him being in the USMC birthday "cake ceremony". At two marine birthdays, he was the oldest marine present. It was so great seeing others make a fuss over dad. :-)

    meatless night here....leftover rice with veggies.  I have a sore throat so that's about all I can handle.

    Men do look handsome and manly in uniform. 

    No dinner for me tonight.  I had a heavy lunch with my mother and sister, comfort food because we had weathered a minor crisis.  I have thawed chicken breasts in the refrigerator and colored bell peppers.  So I plan to slice up some colored peppers and onions and stir fry chicken slices with the veggies.  DH can sprinkle on soy sauce to his heart's content.  I may also mix up a cabbage slaw for him. 

    Today my kitchenaid pasta attachments arrived.  They are quite sturdy.  No wonder they're pricey.  I read the instruction booklet and the recipes.

    My uniform blouse is one size too big (on purpose so I can wear medium weight cold weather gear under it) and I look like Sad Sack when I wearing it with just the T-shirt.

    I should get a "summer" size.

    auntie  maybe the fish will come swimming right up to your door and knock to come in.  Lots of rain on and off here too, and some pretty intense thunder storms. Trying to get the lawn mowed in between raindrops.

    Settled for a big salad tonight, but was really craving bacon, so did some up and crumbled on top. OH and at work we had cake and ice cream for a co-workers birthday.

    Treatment day here so I didn't cook. We went out to Chinese food. Salt & Pepper squid, lamb with cumin and spicy sauce, and dry-fried green beans, hot. Today was the MIT graduation, so the place was packed with very happy Chinese students and their families. So much joy in one room. The chef was "on" tonight as well and everything was perfect. Ate way too much, but on treatment day, I allow myself whatever calories my body wants. Today my body wanted squid calories!

    eric95 - BDUs are not the most flattering of uniforms - my favorite is the mess dress.  Marines have the absolute best uniforms of all kinds - hands down!  We recently took my FIL to the WWII memorial in Washington, D.C. on one of my BC vaccine trips.  He just turned 88 this month and had never been.  There were two different contingents of "Honor Flight" guys there so he chatted and had a blast!

    I went out and walked and got rained on!  The only time it rained all day....  I am trying not to take this personally...  I am back to doing MyFitnessPal - it definitely works for me when I have to be accountable!

    Dad wore his Evening Dress A (mess dress & full sized medals) to the Marine Birthday. You are right, it is an awesome looking uniform. He was buried in it as well.



    How did you ever guess I was talking about BDUs? :-)

  • specialk
    specialk Member Posts: 9,261

    My DH wore BDUs for the last couple of years he was active duty because he is Special Operations and it is joint - he wore flightsuits at the Pentagon when not in blues (Air Force).  The word "blouse" gave it away, lol!

    Special K - so glad you're back.

    Deborye - my thoughts are with you and your daughter. 

    Carole - glad you got that squamous cell out.  I've had 5 mohs surgeries and go in every 6 months for a full body "scan".  She freezes lots of acktinic keretoses (sp) every time.

    Thanks everyone for the good chemo wishes.  Of course I'm superwoman tonight since I'm still on steroids.   Gee, it's only 11pm.  Maybe I should go clean the tubs & toilets. 

    Dinner was 1/2 of a california club sandwich that I brought home from the med center - whole wheat, turkey, lettuce & tomato, avocado, bean sprouts - yummy.

  • carolehalston
    carolehalston Member Posts: 8,196

    Minus, I could eat the other half of that club sandwich.  It sounds yummy.  I'm sipping my lunch, a Raspberry Collision from Smoothie King. 

    When I got home today from playing golf, I eased off the bandage on my face.  I have quite a shiner, since the incision is fairly close to my eye.

    Dinner tonight will be pork chops and a dish with brown rice and broccoli.  I have leftover brown rice from dh's stir-fry dinner last night and some blanched broccoli in the freezer.  Will look up a recipe.  We're going to a concert at 7 pm so will have to eat early.

    No fish swimming up to my door.  I need to water the plants on the patio.
