Hi Everyone,
I have been out of the loop this past week. It was my DH's off week, so its busy busy busy. Oh and I did not strangle him,lol. There was one tense moment with him getting snarly with me, and I called him on it right away, and he backed down without a fight. We ended up laughing over it.... I firmly believe that barking and snapping is unnessary when communicating.
We went to the fair Thursday, and I can now say I had a Krispy Kreme hamburger. It was "ok" I think it would of been better if the hamburger was thicker and juicy. My burger was thin and the flavor of the donut overpowered the meat. We also had the popular cream puffs there. They are sooo so yummy. As you can read, food has gotten the best of me. Another reason why I can't wait to be done with chemo and the dreadful Decadron.
I weeded the front flower patch. It had not been done since I moved here. I never had time, with my job, and then getting sick and all. It really felt good to finally do this, and now it feels like it is mine.
I also started an art project. At first I was a bit uncertain about it, because I am not an artist. But low and behold, I recieved an email from Stillwater which talked about art therapy. Basically it said it's about expressing your feelings with the journey of fighting cancer. The article said it's not about making an art piece that would be considered Art Gallery ready...if you know what I mean. My goal is to have it completed this month, which is when I am done with chemo.
My kitty frequently thinks he can crawl on the kitchen table, I have squirted him countless times, and he at times isn't affected by the water. Anybody have any ideas? Maybe I will go on utube to find out good training techniques. Its amazing what you can learn on utube. I learned how to tie long narrow scarves on my head.
Fritz purrs often, so it was cool to hear that purring is healing. Sometimes I gently put my head on his body, and it is so soothing. My left ear hurts at times, and his warmth and sounds makes me feel better.
Blondie, I loved you named your oxygen Otto....so funny. Its good to have a sense of humor. The other day I was looking at my head in the bathroom, and thought, geez if I put some cotten on my head I would look like a q-tip, (I have a skinny head, and a long face)
Cami, hope you are doing well.....Jazzy, cc, Laurie, teka, slick,and Markat...hugs to you all.....Lori

Oh lori I know what u mean about purring I always cuddle so much and when I hear her purring I put my head there too. Well the water bottle worked for me, in fact all I say now is u want the bottle and she doesn't go anywhere she's not supposed to--when I'm awake--but they do say put tin foil on surfaces ??? Glad u weeded u must be feeling OK.and u sound like u had a good week with u'r husband.

Camille,
You are SO perceptive and sweet. Yes, everything is ok, just overwhelmed with all that I would like to say. I felt like that summed it all up.
Things are fine....8th day of rads. Breast is red and sore, but it is not too bad. My daughter is doing better. Still staying with us while she gets over her Vertigo and nausea. The meds are helping. The baby boy is thriving, so that is good. Things with my arm are taking over the Cancer issues.....but we are plugging away day by day. I am on my way to a 2nd opinion.
I just want you all to know that you amaze me and I am so very glad you we are here for each other.
All is well and happy! I promise!
XOXOXOXO
Laurie

I feel so far behind.
Thank you for the good wishes for "Mr. Skittle." That made me smile. It has been a rough couple of days. His sons did not have any clue, and are having to work through it all... DH has become a shoulder for them...
Getting the classroom ready. Open House is Mon night. eeg. I am not good at meeting masses of parents, especially not knowing the students yet.
Hugs to each. Laurie, take care. Slick, thank you for the doggie advice. Blondie, hoping for good deep breaths in your future for you soon. Jazzy must be off on the beach by now. Lori, glad no strangulation yet. :-) Camille, love how you go quickly to the point/perceptive on Laurie being so quiet. All... take care. Too hot to breathe outside. Still wishing for rain.

This breast cancer road is so rocky & overwhelming sometimes, but somehow we are always here for each other, kind of like touchstones. That amazes me & makes me very grateful for my friends on these threads. You all are my lifelines on some days!!! Thank you, ladies:)

Oh skittle Monday u have to meet all these parents without knowing their kids--oooooI wouldn't like that so much.
Teka I was looking for the thread on Depression and I couldn't find it, Is that rhe name of it--u know I have ro check everything out too.

@teka, I looked at the last two pages of the "Great Saying..." thread and didn't see any comments there that were edited by the Mods. There was one comment that was posted by the mods, and several that were deleted by the person who wrote them.
I think the mods sometimes edit threads to make repairs such as fixing broken links. I don't know if they edit posts that have been reported for rules violation, but it wouldn't surprise me if they do.

@Teka, I missed it the first time around, but I do see the comment you are talking about now.
Why is it a problem for the mods to edit a comment? I'd rather they did that than delete the whole thing (which can make it very difficult for a latecomer to figure out what is going on), or to have an entire thread shut down, but YMMV.

Teka I ended up readin the last few pages about depression, boy did I get depressed all the bickering about this horrible diease,actually it was not really about the disease I'm not sure what it was about and I don't know any of the women on there except one. Of course it was confusing to me but it was interesting how people look at things differently.

Thanks, Camillegal, for scaring the living daylights out of me!!! But hey-- it did make me laugh!
Having a slightly better day today, going to drag myself over to a friend's house for a couple of hours this evening. Would rather stay & hermit, but probably should go & be a little social. Thank you everyone, for being so sweet.
Teka, those smiley faces crack me up!
Spookie, thank you for the kisses-- they arrived right on time!

Early good Morning Girls, or is that politically incorrect?
Anyway It's arund 4am and been up a while. That happens.
Slicky I hope u went out last night and had a good time.
U know it's almost the middle of August and the light out is starting to show later and later, Fall is coming, school is ggoing to start soon --It's crazy.

I managed to go be social at a friend's house on Saturday night, saw a movie & had lunch on Sunday, & went back to work today. My first day back in 5 months, it was a short 4 hour shift. But I went!!! I'm doing "normal" stuff-- 3 days in a row!
Camillegal: I'm laughing at you & Teka!0 -
Slicky how was gettng back after 5 months--good thing u'r starting slowly. It's a big adjustment--When U'r first off u'r so busy with everything, then u go back and sometimes u'r rnergy isn't all there.
I have no, I said no Dr. app't now til Oct. I think it is---Oh I can't believe it--what a feeling--I'm breaking into song.
My brother called last night to tell me the time he's picking me up on SUNDAY--of course I have to write it down--He's so organized, we all going out to lunch or brunch as they say, Noe this is what a bit** I am. I don't like brunches anymore at all---Getting up and down and trying to balance a plate while I'm trying to balance this body has turned ugly--so this should be interesting and then the lines to me are no fun. But that's what the want to do--so that's what we do.==Well we do have some fun so that's good.

Hi hermits- I am back and it was fabulous! Many tidbits to share with you but very tired and jetlagged right now. Got to the house at 2:30 a.m., to bed at 3:30 a.m. and been up working on my loads of laundry. Think I am going back to sleep again soon!
Got a day and a half to recover before I head back to the client site. Fortunately, it will be a short work week and then I have the weekend for more recovery.
Hoping everyone is hanging in there, continuing on with your healing, treatments, or enjoying the last month of summer, etc. Kids are back to school here and know many on the east coast will be going in a few more weeks after Labor Day.
Does anyone know how to post pictures that don't require a URL?
