    So much has happened since I posted last that I know I can't respond to everyone.  BUT I AM THINKING OF EVERYONE.  You all keep me going in a positive direction.

    duckyb1, the pool looks very inviting ... like being on vacation every day you are there.  Will being in the pool help with your Femara side effects?  

    duckyb1 and Jazzy, thanks for commiserating with me about AI's.  My thyroid med is being checked as we speak.  The doc is wondering if the AI is causing the synthroid dosage to be off.  She is also thinking that anxiety is an issue for me and suggested meditation.  I am hoping to see the meditation consultant at my cancer center next week.

    Jazzy, I hope your cold/sickness has given up its hold on you. 

    Okay Teka, now I am having a cake craving ... usually I reach for chocolate cake but that coconut cake is calling out to me.

    Hi Sas, dwill, and Soteria.  Sas, it sounds like you are getting better.

    Cami, have you made it to the doctor yet?  You mentioned cancelling several appointments due to weather.

    Lily55, you have been through so much this winter.  Hopefully, spring will bring healing energy. 

    blondiex, (((hugs))) and wishes for the chemo side effects to pass quickly.

    Happy Week End ... in a few hours ... everyone.  I will be happy if I get my paperwork caught up.  It's hanging over my head, and I will feel freed when it's done.  Although paperwork is never really done, is it?  So, I think I will aim for "up to date."

    Sally......swimming doesn't really help the SE"s......and since I have LE in my right arm I have to be careful of the sun............I am going to try cutting all sugar, and lower my salt intake........if I could lose the fluid that would help some...........plus I don't drink enough water........actually I hardly drink any, so that does not help either.......I am my worst enemy.

    You take it  easy girlfriend and you have a great weekend..........hugs.

    Blondie I'm sorry for all this happening to u, whenever they changed chemos on me it was another here we go again so I know how that feels, u feel like it's never ending but it does so I pray it starts going better for u.

    Jazzy u'r something else, keep it up u'r doing great.

    I am sorry for all who are hurting, it's a struggle every day but try not to stress, it really makes it worse. And No I didn't make my app't this week---but I will call Monday--my sister is aggravating the hell out of me--she's my stressor. LOL

    I hope everyone has a decent weekend with good weather.

    Hi hermits- I started out in a not so great mood this morning, but found that improved over the course of the day. I am just bugged about a late invoice from the client that was supposed to get paid this week, but nothing yet. Ugh!

    Went to see the nutritionist this afternoon, and she says I am doing well. My AIC was 5.7 the last test in January. She said this is a very good number but now has me borderline to "pre-diabetic". Not out of the woods yet, so I will continue with my carb reduced diet, exercise and try to get more weight off. She says she understands how it is slow for me to loose the weight, all things considered, but we also talked about how I have lost a lot of inches which also means the fat is going and the muscle is building. She said I look extremely healthy, and just to keep up the good work. That was far better than I expected. And I don't have to see her again.

    Tomorrow I am meeting my friend for lunch and doing a bit of shopping. Any Coldwater Creek fans out there? There is 50% the entire store, looking for some spring pants. 

    Wishing everyone a very lovely weekend. Don't forget to spring ahead tomorrow night!

    Ducky- yes, I could use a vacation. A trip on the magic school bus sounds great to me! I love a good road trip!

    Actually, in two more weeks, I have a friend coming in to town from back east and we are going up to the hot springs for the weekend. Soaking, spa treatments and girlfriend time. Then a few weeks after, I am heading out the DFW area to visit old friends from grad school days in Texas. Some time away will do me good.

    A bit sleepless tonight.

    Sas- we have a nice group here. We like to have fun, support one another too! 

    Glad to hear Insomniacs is back and working. I dropped off as it is too busy for me. I am not able to check in every day on BCO with working and all, and when I do, I am many pages behind on that thread. I think it is a great thread for folks though. Just wanted you to know in case some of you don't see me there anymore.

    The sun is out for me too because of the Letrozole, plus BP meds........I can get burnt in 15 minutes........tough to especially when you go to the beach..........no place to hide there......who the hell feels like sitting under and umbrella all day........not me.........I like to take the chair.....go down to the ocean's edge and just sit...........can't do that anymore............

    Just walking from the street down the ramps and to the beach for your spot counts in the time your allowed in the sun..........so what good is it......cause you have the walk back too........its such bullshit

    We don't open until Memorial Day or the weekend before.......and then nothing in June with all the crap that goes on, plus baseball............so July is really the true beginning.............we do scattered weekends in between, but that is last minute sometimes.........

    People say "I would be down all summer" guess what......no fun alone......my kids all work........
