Thanks Lisa...........I'm hoping that DD will be much better by mid September when we are due to leave for France. That's when the R&R will begin........lol. Bad news sure is draining and I'm really looking forward to getting into my own bed tonight that's for sure.
Magic the Mirrorless is really easy to use and not many dials at all. I was used to a point and shoot but this one was taking great shots after only a day or two of reading the book. Have a really good look at them online and I'm sure you won't be able to resist for very long.....lol. Hope the improvements continue and you just keep getting better and better.
Love n hugs all! Chrissy

wow Lisa I want to go grocery shopping where you go !
Chrissy, I hope you got some rest this weekend. I
I went off island with my DD this week for a day trip for her to see a doctor. Of course, we got some shopping done, too. By the time we made it home, she had to drop me at home and take my car over night. I went to support her.......
Oh man, there was lots of drama on the construction site this week. I had hired a friend to reface my fireplace. Well, he had some life events happen and was way behind schedule (like the whole rest of the project). So he was holding up the drywall, painting and finish work. Well the contractor's wife (who is also the design person) gave him a piece of her mind, big time, very unprofessional. Then she fired him. When he was really working for me. Anyway lots of hurt feelings on both sides. She threatened to walk off the job if I let him finish the last few inches up to and including setting the mantel. He feels like he's an artist and doesn't want anyone else to finish his work. So I heard all sides. Now I'm just going to have beach stone up to the mantle and then paneling. It will look more like the original room. And maybe a whole big up to the ceiling rock fireplace would have overpowered the room. I just want it to be done! I am very sick of this whole process. Instead of me trying to have patience, I feel like my patience is being tried.
Oh by the way, Kathy, glad you made it home safe from vacation in one piece. I can't remember if I told you that or not.

Tonight my tw kids who still live at home were out with their Romantic Interests and my husband, who is a retired photographer, was assisting a photographer friend at a job so I was home alone. I started thinking, "Poor me! I'm so exhausted from my new chemo that I'm stuck at home alone!" Then I realized that if I didn't have cancer and wasn't exhausted from chemo I'd STILL be home alone. Actually, I'd probably be enjoying the quiet. So I stopped feeling sorry for myself and had some ice cream instead.

Leah, I love the quiet me times as they are the times I can let my mind wander to places my body can no longer visit.
Hope the new chemo is doing good at getting rid of the invaders.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

well my 6 months check is now 9 months. Wednesday I see another new oncologist. That's the trouble with military medicine. The doctors move around or get out. I missed my 6 month because I couldn't lift my broken arm for a mammogram .Still can't but figure I need to see him anyway. My focus now is how to reduce the risk I have for the arm surgery. My liver Doctor says I have a 10 % chance of dying within 30 days if I have it. Right now I think I will be needing it.pooh. Too many balls to juggle right now.

Damn Lisa!! I'm really hoping the onc can give you something that will make that op a little less dangerous as it's is really obvious that it is going to be needed. Let's know how the appointment goes, I'll be thinking of you.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

SoCal: You have way to much to juggle and with a broken arm no less. Pooh is right. All those numbers flying around must be disconcerting and a bit frightening when surgery is needed. Is the surgery scheduled yet? You are in my thoughts as you work through this challenge.
One half a hug to the unbroken side

Lisa sending live and hugs. What a bother and a difficult decision.
Leah, I love the sound of quiet and really enjoy having a silent house. Hope the new chemo really works.
Yesterday had a great cuddle with baby Evie. It was so funny seeing my Ds fussing and asking if I needed him to pick her up for me. And Mum sit down don't walk around. I just laughed and did what I wanted. Then later he said it was interesting to see what I did as I holding her and talking to her.
Hope every is having a good day.
Big hugs.

Lisa, my hubby surprised me with a trip to France for six weeks for the both of us! He has gone all out and booked us business class all the way so it should be very comfortable on the long haul flights........I'm sooooo excited!

WOW.

I have no idea how that was deleted. Probably I hit the wrong place on my phone. At any rate Chrissy, what a great trip to look forward to. Wow. Business class no less. Do you know where in France you visit? So much to see and do. Maybe you could even sneak over to Bruges.
Well I saw the new oncologist. He is very young and I think I threw more at him that he could process. I also knew more about some stuff than he did. We agreed to wait until after the broken arm is fixed to do anything about a mammogram or dexascan. Maybe I should request a different oncologist next time. Here's the problem with military medicine.

Lisa dont you just hate when you know more rhan the doc.......I think i would be asking for someone who has a little more knowledge.
We will be spending a week in Paris, three nights when we arrive and four before we leave. The rest of the time we will be driving around the southwest of the country, starting in Breve and finishing in Cahors. We will be taking the train from Paris to Breve and the from Cahors to Paris. We will be just wandering where ever we choose.
I do hope something can be worked out to keep you safe for the repair of your arm.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

Chrissy, DH and I drove from Nice to Paris many years ago and loved every moment. I think there is no bad food in France. Outside of Paris, the people were very friendly. Inside Paris, they are big city folks and in a hurry. We visited Monet's garden in Giverney (sp) and found it fascinating. We bought a calendar that had a photo taken each week in the garden. I still take it out every few years and go thru the weeks of photos.

Wren, while we are in Paris we plan on just exploring the city by using their daily public transport pass so we can get on and off buses and trains whenever the mood takes us and if we get lost in the process we will have an adventure....lol. I'm so looking forward to really checking out the country side and those beautiful little villages as well.

Hello everyone, I've been very busy here.
The contractor and his wife are driving everyone crazy. They are under the gun for the deadline for getting the house and yard ready for the wedding. I am having to cajole all the workers every day to stay on the job and please finish for me. She is a real perfectionist and wants to be in control. The painting crew has done work for me before, I had to say, please let the paint guy pick out the stain and do his job. It's taken 3 weeks, when he told them in the beginning what would work, but they kept trying to hire other painters, and no one wants to work for them. The issue is trying to match the old paneling to the new wood or vice versa. Finally today the stain was going on, the floors are going to get done next week, so it really is almost there.
Then the other drama is my 100 year old aunt decided to move out of her house. I went over to check on her last week. I noticed some furniture was missing so I asked what was going on and she said she was moving and wasn't going to tell me where. I was really shocked. She said she didn't like how her sons were trying to control her. They are only looking out for her and trying to help her be safe in her house. She told me not to tell them. I immediately came home and called them. Then she wouldn't answer her cell phone, so we had to communicate by email. So she's been "missing" for over a week. Her sons are so upset and hurt. She is somewhere with that guy she calls her caretaker. Now today I got an email from her saying that she is probably going to be moving back to her house, but I should call before stopping by. It is all very confusing. And of course I am caught in the middle since I live here and her sons do not. Also I am going to be living right next door. The family has always just hopped from house to house without thinking twice about stopping by to see one another. Oh well.
I am certainly not bored.

Oh my goodness Nancy! What dramas! As you are poo ayinfcthe bills I think I would be telling that contractors wife to stay away from the job......that sort of person really gets me angry.
Oh that poor old lady, i sure hope her 'carer' is not trying to take advantage........but I did have a little chucke, I think she thinks she is still in her prime. ......lol.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it all gets done and the wedding goes off without a hitch.
As you say, no time for boredom in your life.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

Nancy what a mess...sure hope you get all the work done, with your people
not much going on around here other than to get some bids for work to be done here...and waiting to see the surgeon about my arm. I am really positive I need the surgery. This brace I have had for five plus months and it is getting old and heavy. I even have to sleep with it. Only time off is the shower..guess I forgot my bone stimulator today.. Yikes...it is 8:30 and I need it on for 3 hours...
