Hi Hermits.
Fall seems to finally be here too. The leaves on one area of Virginia creeper seemed to all fall off in last night's wind. That's not too unusual. The groups of Virginia creeper seem to drop leaves all of a sudden, and different groups at different times.
I am trying out a chicken soup recipe. Of course, I did not have a large yellow onion so a red one was used. Following recipes is not a strength, so I have made several other adjustments. I am not a natural cook, so I must learn to follow recipes. Even if the soup is terrible, the house smells good.
Jazzy, I am sorry to hear that some of the toxic folks from your old contract are in the vicinity of this new contract.

Lily- good news that there is nothing of concern on the liver ultrasound. I am assuming anything out the ordinary would show up on that scan, but not sure about things that show up in lines or the like? When is the next blood test, a month, 6 months, etc? Are you having any pain or other symptoms on the right side that would make you worry something is going on? It sounds to me like they took a look at the liver for any signs of anything, so I think the are taking it seriously.
I have not had a high reading yet on my liver enzymes so far, so not sure how to advise you? Maybe there are others here who have had that and can tell you what they did for follow up?
Sally- I think the thing that bothers me the most about yesterday is that I let them "get under my skin" when I just know they are nasty people. If they continue to be hostile, I will talk to my client about me focusing on the other two projects. I told her when I went in I won't let those people use me as their punching bag again and she gets it. I was glad to not have to be there today. Refocused and moving forward to things I need to do!
We have more fall here too as more trees turn yellow which is basically our color of fall in NM. In a few more weeks, the cottonwoods should be very pretty. Weather is nice, warm days and cool nights.
Having a good day today. Did some coaching this morning to a gal with a start up, went to personal training, now getting a few things done for my business and finances. I have class in a few hours too. Back to work tomorrow for my last day this week and until next thursday with my conference early next week.
Hope everyone is having a good hump day!

hi Jazzy, yes discomfort under ribs, thing with lobular is it is so hard to find.....and I passed ultrasound on my ex breast just a few weeks befire stage 3 diagnosis....
0 -
Lily ... thinking of you ... hoping discomfort inder ribs goes away
0 -
Lily- I think given you are having discomfort and have high enzymes that you may want to consider a second opinion. Not sure how that works in your country with the insurance, but might be worth talking to someone else if you are worried. I am all for second opinions and have done them repeatedly and had things caught by another set of eyes.

Onco - The kitties in the photo are not mine. I do have a couple of cats, but they are 3 years old now. I used to have a black cat and a tabby that looked just like the kitties on the pumpkin though!
0 -
Oh I love the Kitty pics, as usual.
Teka that pic is beautiful, such a show for a fall day. And it's starting to come here but out leaves are falling like mad (windy)
Jazzy I'm glad u'r over yesterday and today was better for u--keep that up sweety.
Lily if my dr. said don't worry about something believe me I don't and don't look ahead ever. It's a waste of my emotions, try to rethink as bad as u have things the Drs. are watching u.
Monis and Mommy---I drank more coffee today than usual I was busy with work, but I'm really tired anyway. I'm trying to stay awake. LOL but going to sleep now.
Blondie I thought u were going this week, blah u still have to wait, well rest up for it.

good day hermies,
Yesterday saw the old, marvelous movie, invasion of the bodysnatchers. There seem to be so many parallels to our situation! Yet another alien wanting to invade our bodies. Luckily this handsome devil along with a stunningly gorgeous woman put a stop to it. she was always decked out in beautiful dresses that have absolutely no place for the activities being done! With requisite pearls and heels, naturally. Hilarious! I love old movies, especially noir and sci fi. Nothin like them.
Also, i got lots done as I feel just fine, ebay posting, made macaroni salad, cleaned up alot. Selling lots of collectibles, due to money needed and just time to let go. So I guess you can truly say I am losin my marbles, cuz I am sellin them on Ebay! Along with other stuff.....
So blood draw today, then just chillin. Finally the temperature is below 90 here! Already i got the windows open, it is smashing out!
Have a great Thursday Hermies

Good morning hermits- went to my class last night and enjoyed it. This strategic planning class is helping me with my current contract too, so it has direct applicability. I will miss next week as I am going to my conference through Wed, but will have one more class after that and then have a new certificate credential for my resume.
Back to the client site and a lot to do today as I won't be there again for a week. Thanks to everyone for listening to me about my icky day on Tuesday. I plan to make today a good day and to keep the problem children at a distance.
Bippy- I love Invasion of the Bodysnatchers too. I am lightening my load through taking clothing to consignment, donating, did a yard sale, etc. All this stuff makes us realize we need simpler lives which often means less stuff. I have chronic TMS (too much stuff.....)
Blondie- I hope the z pac is doing it's thing and you are feeling better. You want to be better for that trip to the shore you are looking forward to!
Cami- you sound like a tired gal and hope you are getting more sleep.
Monis- those kitties are very cute!
Hope everyone else here is doing okay as the week winds down. Time to hop in the shower and head to an early meeting at the client site. Wishing you all a good Thursday!

Going to have a really good excuse to stay indoors today. We are supposed to have rain most of the day (yippee!!!!!!!!!!!) But we do need it. By the time it ends, it will total up to about a months worth!

most likely one year! I think I need it before then....

Good morning, Hermies. Haven't felt much like talking, though I'm not doing too badly as long as I don't move around too much. That still gets me short of breath. But they really don't know what it could be other than "atypical pneumonia". No fever, no real coughing or congestion. Oh well.
Bippy, if you love old scifi, especially old bad scifi, you'd probably enjoy my DH's favorite. It's a spoof of old scifi movies called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavara. It's a hoot. It's what we watched when our company was here. Your comment about the dresses they wore being inappropriate for the action was spot on – right down to the string of pearls.
Jazzy, don't let the you-know-whats get you down. It's part and parcel of self employment. Also the part I hated most. So glad I could retire and be done with them. Now I get to hang out with all my friends (they all live in my computer, dontcha know).
Teka, beautiful fall. I miss New England this time of year. Eat a Macintosh apple for me, willya?
Lily, hope you can get some relief, glad your liver seems ok.
Blondie, two weeks is not very long unless you're waiting for a vacation, amirite?
Cami, don't work your fingers to the bone with the phone.
Onco, moos.

Teka- LOL! Well, I hope it was a nice walk at least!

Ladies, it's been a long, tiring week. This is all I have to say:

mags, I love all that stuff and spoofs are even better! Mystery Science Theater is hilarious as well. I think I was a housewife from the 50's in a former life! Love the heels and pearls...
TGIF is right. Bippy is doing very well, 7 days out from last tx and feelin groovy! A dear friend is visiting with her new beau tonight, have not seen her in years. Gonna try to go out for early supper at a funky tiki hut place on the water at dusk.
Am starting a new venture on Etsy, wish me luck! Selling raw materials for artisans to craft with.....hope it brings in a bit of jack. It is a fun thing too, involves a bit of creativity in locating and prepping the products.
Today I am out searching for materials and then chillin out till friend visits. Have a wonderful day Herms!

Hi hermits- busy day starting with my Friday intense core/cardio work out with the personal trainer. We are upping the weights, and doing so much more now and she is helping me to see my progress with where I started, things I was afraid of going into this, etc. I won't be able to go again until next Friday, once I am back and settled from my trip to Santa Clara. But will be keeping up with my cardio (packing work out gear in my suitcase today for my time at the conference). I am staying at a nice Hyatt and also will get to see the new San Fran 49-ers stadium for our welcome reception!
Teka- I have had so many weird technical issues today with my home office stuff here, from my home network wigging out on me to problems with my printer and more. Things are working themselves out, and hope you are not loosing your laptop. I had a hard drive failure this year and they can go out suddenly or die that slow death. Are you still on Windows XP by any chance?
Hope everyone else is doing okay today. I have the cleaning company here (I only bring them in once a month now for a good deep cleaning) and have to finish a status report.
Anyone have anything fun going on this weekend?

Having my coffee and trying to get the caboose in gear to get something done today!
0 -
Good morning hermits- caboose need to get going here too, but just getting my coffee going. Speaking of coffee, just bought some Guatemalan from Starbucks yesterday, yummy!
Got myself packed, some errands done, travel docs together, and feeling more ready to go on my trip tomorrow. More to do today, and then I am off to the bay area in the morning for my conference through Wednesday. I probably will not be here as much this week, but will be thinking of all of you each and every day!
Hope you have a good Sunday! Beautiful photo too, Teka.

Jazzy, I used to go to MacWorld conventions in San Francisco when I first had my business back in the '90's when they held them at Moscone Center. I loved it then, but I know it's changed a lot since then. I would ride the trolleys and go to Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square. One time when I was there with another artist we rented a car and drove up the coast to Muir Woods and Sausalito. Back to SF and Golden Gate Park and the Conservatory, which is actually one of my earliest memories. When I was not quite 4, my dad was stationed in what was then Occupied Japan. My mom packed up us 4 kids and drove from San Diego to SF where we spent a couple of days with dad's brother & family before the ship left to take us to Japan. I have a picture of us outside the Conservatory. it was cool to go back and see it unchanged.
Scheduled to have last chemo tomorrow, pending MO's approval. Hoping to have it done with.
