Hey Hermies. Our friends were too tired to make it all the way Friday night so they stopped at a motel and came in around 9 yesterday morning, then had to leave this morning 8 hours each way for a 24 hour visit. But it was a wonderful 24 hours. We didn't go anywhere, just sat around talking and eating. DH grilled a ribeye roast and cousin made twice baked potatoes and fresh asparagus, and baked a cake for dessert. We watched DH's favorite bad scifi spoof, which my friend's DH thoroughly enjoyed. But most of the time my friend sat next to me on the couch with her arm around me. And she brought me a wonderful present from her and another friend we play with, a soft fluffy blankie with moos on one side and hearts on the other. OncoWarrior will appreciate this; they are all about the moos. I'll get a picture of it for you, you'll love it, Rosie has been sleeping on it, but after our friends left this morning I curled up on the couch with it and slept 4 hours. My cousin made waffles from scratch for breakfast before our friends left, she has been so sweet about making sure everything was perfect for the visit, even putting their favorite chocolates on their pillows. And my friend brought her nebulizer with new attachments which she left with me, and the breathing treatments helped a lot. Altogether a wonderful weekend.

Hi folks- in the closets today. Time to put away summer things and pull out more fall things as the weather cools. More things to take to consignment and donate too. Purge baby purge.
Mommy- I am envious your laundry is done! I have more to do there, but may put that on hold until wed when I am back home again after working the next few days. I am going to push to get the closet stuff today done while I am on a roll.....
Lili- I am someone who likes to go on line at things all the time around data and diagnoses. I think information is power, and it helps to have some questions lined up for every visit with our doctors. I know you are expecting bad news, which I pray this is not, but do you have a few questions written down to ask your doctor about? Is there anyone who can go with you to your apt?
Mags- your visit sounded like a very sweet time with your friends. They must love you very much to do all that driving for the one day visit with you. I love the chocolates on the bed too. Little things matter. Sounds like you are resting now and hope you are feeling better from the pneumonia and everything else.
Onco- never have been in a hot air balloon and no desire to. If you crew with a balloon team, you can usually get a ride for free, but otherwise, it is very expensive ($300 an hour per person is typical). I like to watch them from terra firma.

Hi Hermies,
mood a tad better today, thanks everyone for the support. I think I would walk right into traffic if not for this oasis. An oasis of venting!
Jazzy, i need to get into the closets too, waiting to feel up to it and for cooler weather. Cabin fever hittin me hard, but doing all I can to get out. I made soup yesterday and plan to whip up shepherds pie today.
Lily, thinkin of you and wishing the best.
I have given up planning my new boobs for now, will just wait till chemo is nearly done and then meet with PS. I am not at all sure what to do, a flap or implants. TE's sound like pure hell. I have plenty of fat for flap though!
Meanwhile, out in California, some a-holes haven taken to deessing up as scary clowns and following people around town after dark....that is JUST NOT RIGHT. The pics are freaky. If I can figure how to post the link, I will. Nothing scarier than a clown at midnight!

thanks I am getting a tattoo of a lady bug on saturday0 -
Blondie, are you going to share where the tattoo will be?
0 -
I will be getting nip tattooing done sometime in the near future, but I was contemplating getting a little something "extra" for my foob that would be special. I've never gotten a tattoo before, and I really haven't looked into it yet. The thought is kind of exciting though.

Good Morning Hermmies----I'm not forgetting u. I'm just to lazy still to be on the computer.
Jazzy I still love the balloon ride pics--Altho I wouldn't pay 300.00 to just get sick, I get that for nothing.
Lily tell us how everything goes and I hope it all goes well.
Bippy always give u'rself permission to just go with the feeling of the day, cuz it's usually different.--I was very lucky I didn't have depression or sadness, I guess I'm a cold b*tch. Whenever I watch so called sad movies I never cry, my kids can't understand it. But I do have crabby days and that's when I prefer to really be alone.
I had to laugh at all of us always mentioning our laundry, u think we've accomplished a scientific discovery--We really never talked about it years ago, but now it really is an accomplishment.
Teka I love that cute grey kitten pic, my cat is gray so right now I'm partial to it.
Blondie how nice to go to u'r shore life for a few days--always relaxing. Hope u'r feeling well.
Mags I love that blanket and it's funny cuz a blanket used to be just that a blanket, but when u cuddle up a lot it wonderful to have a cozy one that looks pretty. And u'r cousin is a doll and so glad u had a good weekend even tho it wasn't long enough it was still beautiful. I have 2 that I love both presents and very thoughtful for comfort.
You know if someone told me they were getting a tattoo 10 yrs ago, I would think they are crazy and now I get so excited hearing someone getting one. If I could afford it I would get something--I think they are so cool now at this age.
Monis how are u doing?
All the horrible weather missed our area yesterday--wow some big storms but we did have pretty constant rain and again today. Fine if it's just rain.
Oh I have one SIL I simply love--I live with them---but my other SIL I have a hard time being in a room with him and so does everyone else which makes it harder for me to be closer to my oldest DD, but I think he likes that anyway and he calls me Mom and it goes right thru me
Oh and Joey had a great time at the scarecrow festival with his best girl friend--they are so cute together and he's such a gentleman with her and her parents just care so much for Joey and are so nice to him;;My baby is growing up but he still likes doing my hair LOL
I'm hoping my meds kick in soon, I told u my thyroid stopped again and my electrolytes are low so no energy for me, BUT I did wash clothes yesterday hahaha And this Sat. I'm going to my GF surprise BD party, it'll be at 6PM, I'm not used to going anywhere in the evening anymore so I'll really have to rest up for it. I'm so happy to go. It's at a restaurant so that's nice fr n cleaning up for anyone. And I've been kind of busy with work but I notice people are getting angry this time of year they want me to tell them how mch the job is, I have no idea and then they want a ball prk figure-Ha I asked them what does a ball ark cost? they've answered I dunno, well that's how much I know.
OK I have to get my work stuff in order, silly things like a pen I can find easily I don't have a desk so it's not always easy.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning hermits- wow, lots of conversation yesterday. I had busy day yesterday starting with a 7 a.m. personal training session, a full day at work, and then some grocery shopping after work. Today will be a much busier day at work.
Mags- what a cute blanket! It looks very snuggly and am sure will help you to think of the love of your friend who gave it to you.
Teka- what a beautiful seedum! Thank you for sharing.
Onco- they do teach you what to do when you crew. My trainer told me yesterday she is a few hours from her balloon pilot's license. I won't even tell you how much the whole balloon set up costs.
Blondie- I am glad you are going to get your tats this weekend. I want a picture!
Bippy- glad you are doing better and felt like doing some cooking. I think it will be less overwhelming to get through the rest of chemo without having to think too much about recon yet. They can try to drag you through all this stuff a bit too fast sometimes.
Cami- Joey sounds so cute with his little girlfriend. He sounds like such a nice young man. You will always be his #1 girl. I am glad you have a party to look forward to.
Lili- thinking of you today as you approach your doctors apt. Fingers crossed for good outcomes.
Must hop in the shower and get my day going. Wishing everyone here a good day.

good morning Hermettes
I woke up this morning astonished to find that I feel pretty good. Also I was actually hungry, made breakfast, and enjoyed it immensely. the nausea that I had had for months is gone. The diarrhea is gone. The awful Smell thing is gone. The overall feeling of being hit by a truck is reduced by about 95%. It's miracle because I am only five days post treatment number four.
I think I finally found the right combination of diet and meds. I'm glad because frankly I don't know if I could've continued much longer the way I was going. I was thinking about stopping chemo before all the rounds were done.
Now I am back and kick ass mode! Could not have done it without you girls being there for me. I hope it continues, but I feel strong enough now to go through no matter what side effects may come. Only two more Chem for me!
Love the kitty cat pic I have one that actually does that, little rascal! She wants whatever we're having.
Hugs to all and have a great Tuesday my hermits!

Hi hermits- after a relatively easy re-entry to the client site, today was not an easy day. Ran into some people I was hoping to NOT see, but knew I would inevitably. Then a meeting on some work related to the bad project I came off of in June, and it was predictably bad too. Okay, maybe I got all the bad people stuff over with today? One thing for sure, the icky people don't stop being icky! The good news is I am gone from there tomorrow and will shift gears.
I am going to do an entrepreneurial consulting session with someone who is asking for my help after that panel I did last month. That is the best thing that happened today!
Teka- beautiful fall foliage. Makes me which I was back east right now.
Bippy- glad you are feeling better and that you will get through the rest this chemo stuff. We will be right here with you too!
Blondie- what is the Z pac for? You have an infection?
Hope everyone else had a decent Tuesday. Positive energy going to Lili tomorrow for her doctors visit. Positive outcomes!

I think Fall officially started today! Temps have dropped down into the 60's, and the rains have returned to Oregon. I LOVE Fall. It just makes me want to hunker down, start having fires in the fireplace again, light candles and get all cozy. Glad I got lots of clean up work done out in the garden this past weekend. Harvesting the last of the summer crops. Time to get the beds ready for the long Winter.
Glad everyone's hanging in there.
