Junie, For heavens sake! Anyone who did all that on a Sat would be a lump the next day. Even women with no health challenges. Take it a little easier. Hugs.

hi ladies
First time posting. Can't sleep at all so pleased to see this thread. I'm currently just past half way mark in chemo. Completed 4th AC last week. Finding it harder bounce back this time and really struggling to sleep this week. Always had sleep issues when stressed so you can imagine what cancer has done to that!
Did anyone notice sleep got worse when the chemo started to effect periods? I'm late this month, maybe chemopause starting? Def noticing sleep much worse too. Think there's a link? I suffered insomnia all through pregnancy too so think my shifting hormones mess my sleep but wondering if anyone else noticed same.

Hi Stage2 poor you, you must be exhausted if you are not sleeping well AND your body is handling chemo. But congratulations on coming past the half way. The second half will fly by, it will go faster than the first half. I had my last ever period on the first day. Didn't suffer the insomnia (I just live in Ireland so running different hours to the U.S. ladies) but I was way more easily unreasonably angry on the steroid day after chemo, that definitely had a mood altering or magnifying effect for me.

Oh Junie, yummy! Better hide those Salted Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes from Shepk......that's a mouthful. You know, she will make them her Champion Breakfast,Lunch, and Dinner!
Blue, yay to having an appetite.
Welcome 2tires! Sorry for the insomnia. Didn't have chemo so I have no ideas of the exhaustion, but I know what you meant with the sleep issues with stress. Hope Sensitivehrt will pop in to share with you her similar issues with chemo.
Mommy 👍 for doing good so far

Hi Owlies, Happy Halloween. Getting the things ready. We are a drop off street. So lot's of kiddos. Dini loves it. Schatzi hides. Inadvertently Dini got outside the gate last year and started walking with the kids. Wagging his tail. He was so disappointed when I said he hade to come back.
It's chilly here. Most of you would laugh at what we think is chilly. Have moved to the phase of opening the house The breeze is wonderful. Fresh! It drops the energy use to average 2.00$ a day (I'm such an energy nerd).
Have fun tonight!
Welcome here 2tires (loverly has already given you a nickname)

Mamma I wondered whose b-day it was too. Then promptly forgot. Junie's is coming up .I should have written it down.
We had a couple of hundred kiddos, it was great fun. Donnie stayed home, so, Schatzi stayed out versus running to hide. The dogs were great sticking there noses through the gate to get petted. I didn't dress up this year as it was very cold. I did a special basket thingy to hand over the fence to the parents for the older infants to pick a piece. It was so cute .I told the parents it was getting them ready for next year. Lot's of laughs. Lot's of great costumes. Very impressed this year with how many kids said thank you without there parents encouragement. Great night

Chance and I just wanted to drop in and say Happy Halloween. Haven’t been on in a while. Hope everyone is well. Will try and catch up soon0 -
hope everyone had a nice Halloween. We only had 2 kids come to the door. That's the least we've ever had in 40 years. Here's the kids dressed up.
Ben is Mr. Peabody
Evie is a pirate.
Emma is a southern bell. She’s 12 so probably her last time out. I made her dress. She is looking way too old. She’s my youngest DGD

I am heartbroken. My darling husband's heart simply stopped at 10:27 am November 1, All Saints Day.
When I finally got access to his patient portal, I discovered that he was diagnosed in July 2016 with cirrhosis. He made the decision to continue drinking, even though, or perhaps because, he knew it would kill him. He could not bear the thought of watching me die, and by the time I was in remission it was too late for him. He rallied briefly Friday and Saturday, and his sister and brother were here at the time. He opened his eyes a few times, and responded to yes or no questions. His sister asked if he was in pain and he shook his head no.
He left no will. No funeral or burial wishes. No preparation. Bills unpaid, not for lack of funds but because he just couldn't care any more. Did not give me passwords or access to the protected file where they are stored. I have to figure everything out for myself.
One brother in law left Monday as he services 2 parishes as an Episcopal priest; another sister and her husband left this morning about an hour before the call. I still have the eldest and youngest sisters here, and a niece, as well as my dear cousin who has been our caregiver for the 6 years.
We will have the funeral a week from Friday as this is my chemo week and I can't be rushed to get the preparations or even direct things.
Thank you all for your prayers and loving thoughts. I am numb, thank God
