My son looks like he is from your family. Everyone thinks he is pure Italian-truth is he is more Slovak than Italian.

Jazz I love the birds photo. Thanks for posting it.
Ducky it must be really difficult if the issue is with your grandson. With our kids we at least have the illusion that we have some control but with Grandkids, it is so much out of our hands. I will be thinking of you.

Good Morning Hermmies-
Oh Jazzy sometimes I worry about u--U do so much and I think u might overdue once in a while and u'r on superwind--Please dont' be upset with me-- May u expect to much of u'rself and u just keep on going when maybe u should slow down a little so u'r body can relax, not sleep but relax.
Lily u'r immune system is still all over the place-- u haven't even been on Aromasin a full yr yet and that does a number on u too, I'm sorry it's so difficult for u--but this chit is crap. It all takes time. Longer than we ever thought.
Talking about food my sister and I talked for a while and all of a sudden she said oh this is sad, we just talking about food--for St. Paddy's day hahaha we used to talk about parties nd drinking and staying up. Times change My sister is not a sweet eater but I on the other hand have the body to prove it. I dieted all my life sine I was a teenager and yet when I got older I never did and u can see it, but I was so tired of it and the last 10 yrs I've really been bad, now no matter what I can't loose it--I have days where I can't eat or have my D and nothing hahaha so why bother. I'm a mess anyway.

Dear hermits- slept better last night. Some of you wondered about the sleep problems and I think it is two things a) stress from work and b) the arimidex. Not sleeping well makes for a sucky day at work (which already sucks, LOL!)
Ducky- thanks for the kind words. I hope the shamrocks will last for a bit, I planted them yesterday and just need to find the best spot for them to thrive in my dining room area where most of the plants are right now (until April when it is usually warm enough for them to go outside for the summer). I also hope things with your grandson are better soon (hugs).
Lily- I love that you dance. I am sorry you are not able to right now, a good thing for the mind, body and soul. I love dance, what kind of dance do you do?
I am working on a difficult project for a difficult client, but the good news is, I have thirteen weeks left on this contract, so as I like to say "I am in my last trimester!" We have another go live coming in six weeks, and I had a transition plan dumped on me to do right now in the midst of everything. And this week is a shorter week, as I am going up to the hot springs for a weekend of relaxation. So two more days, and I am outta here!
Have I ever talked about my favorite hot springs here? They are up in northern NM in the southern part of Taos County. My favorite part of the state and this place has been around for hundreds of years. Healing waters, but they are also unique in that the pools have their own unique mineral compositions that make them good for different things. My body loves this place, but now it needs this place. Soaking and some body treatments will do this girl good. I am going with a friend from the east coast too! She is here this weekend passing through on a business trip out west and suggested we do this. It's a pre-birthday weekend celebration.
So I am taking Cam's advice and going to relax this weekend! And you can always tell me to slow down Cami, I need others to say that sometimes.
I hope everyone is getting through the week with everything we must get through (sickness, family problems, work challenges, the ongoing SEs we all live with). I am grateful for your gals and this thread.

A dancey version of Zumba - I like to go at least three times a week........really missing it
I was on femara for nine months before I went on to Aromasin, and been on it probably eight months, seriously thinking of stopping it now as have no life as I know it, just constantly fighting off something............and feel rubbish a lot of the time, look ten years older than i am and feel weary......constantly weary...I did not have chemo so its not that.....dont know if its good that my immune system is identifying so many bugs or that it cannot stop them from sneaking in...............but yet again its hard to breathe....
0 -
LLily did u call u'r Onc. about u'r breathing? If not please do. it might help u.
0 -
Lily, I am sorry to hear that you find it hard to breathe. I think I read that you work. It must be very tiring to work with breathing problems. I wish that your doctor could help you to feel better.
0 -
Lily I am so sorry you are having troubles, I get the breathing problems, thank goodness I have oxygren
Jazzy, see it just isn't me that worries, cammie...thanks for the back up
have fun this weekend!!

Blondie u are so sweet, u have problems and we all seem to worry about the others--I guess that's why we're here for all of us. And I still don't really understand u'r problems with breathing tho. If u did explain it somehow I missed it.
0 -
they originally told me that the breathing problems were from chemo thought since I was off of the red devil it would get better, it didn't and there is not enough fluid in the lung to drain it.....so now the predisone......not sweet, lol....luv you tho.....

Sandy......can't wait to see you, Joan , and Fire........however......they said pictures........with my liquid nitrogen spotted face...........GREAT.............and each day it looks worse.............Derm said eventually the spots she put it on will fall off...............
Maybe I should have had her do the entire face, and when it fell off I would have a brand new face...........nah guess that can't be done.........oh well I could always put a bag over my head......LOL

Teka- Shakira is quite the beauty. I have not seen her dance, but am watching her again on The Voice.
Spring harvest super funny!

...ducky, how come they put liquid nitrogen on your face? i want some, all over, but diluted.
lily55,dancey zumba sounds great! i love to dance at home, i probably look like a crazy person, but i have fun, and it gets my heart rate going. i have been threatening joinig a belly dancing class, for about 6 months, but i finally did do a yoga class two weeks ago, first one ever! i did a tamoxifen break for two months, and am now on femara, 3 weeks, so far so good. arimidex is what i first tried, and it left me in extreme pain, and osteoporotic. tamox and Arimidex both took away my gumption to get moving, creative juices, everything! loved loved ,oved my two month vacation from them all: my energy level was through the roof, like my old pre-bc self....wow.
Happy upcoming birthday,Jazzygirl! you will be 54? i am 54 now, and will be 55 in september. my man will be 56 in august. we were just talking with each other about it, like, "when and how did THAT happen?!?", cause i was 39 when i met him, or rather, when i followed him home.... we were friends and met for the first time in early thirties, when we worked together. i went on a hiatus for a couple of years, and when i came back, he was my boss! i still tease him about it, say, "your not the boss of me!!! we do have fun, i love him to bits!
hello, and love to all hermits! :+

Hi Kathyec- good to hear from you and glad you got the meds worked out. I had a rough time with Arimidex the first six months, took a month vacation last fall and doing better on it now. Glad the Femora is working for you and you are feeling better. My MO says the docs have to work with their patients to find the right balance with the meds so you can have quality of life, otherwise, you won't make it through the 5 years of taking them.
Yes, I will be 54 next week. I know, how did we get this old? LOL! This weekend's trip to the hot springs is part of the b-day celebrations and also going to DFW in a few weeks to visit friends and having a joint b-day party thrown for me by my grad school BFF's daughter. Friend and I have birthdays about 11 days apart this month.
Off to work ladies and wishing everyone a good day.

Kath.......there were some patchy spots, like flaking, and light brown, so she used it to get rid of them......who the hell knows, not the first time I had it done........that's what happens when you go out in the sun at 18, back in the 50's and use Baby Oil and Iodine and your "sunscreen".............who knew.......can just tell you I sure looked damn good back then.............LOL.......you don't want to see me now........
Yes I did request a whole face liquid nitrogen treatment...........LOL

Kath I really enjoyed u;r Love story--it's so sweet.
Oh the 2nd yr I was in chemo all of my skin peeled off everywhere including my feet---I had all new skin and it was so soft everyone at the Drs. office had to feel it (good SE) I was so happy it didn't hurt at all u would see shredded skin all over like a snake. LOL But that happened once only UGH now my skin is crappy and worse then before dry as dust.

There will be pictures to follow.....no thanks to me, but to my terrific ladies.......it is so amazing how you can not know someone other then a conversation online, and meet them just one time, and feel like you have known them all your life.........as Sandy said, we talked, laughed (oh did we laugh) and did not want to see it end.....................one of the best days I have had in a long time........the sad part was saying "Goodbye"..........I felt a closeness to them like I have never felt for any other friend.......I can't explain it, all I can say is.........the love was there.............
Jazzy...........enjoy..........
