Good morning hermits- well the Superbowl game has come and gone. I hope for those of you who watched it, you are either celebrating your team's victory or recovering from the Seahawk's loss.
Footprints- I hope you are doing okay today and sending you prayers for good health.
Cami- back to work today for you no doubt. Thinking of you still in your time of loss and grief.
Blondie- how did the move go to the new facility yesterday? Are you doing okay?
Mommy- I saw on another thread you are continuing to do well. Good to hear your husband is home today, especially since your mom went home.
Bippy and Mags- I hope you get through this next week of rads treatment. Sending you love and energy as you continue on with treatment.
Groundhog saw his shadow, so I hear, so more winter on the horizon. I know the northeast is getting beaten up by more storms and stay safe my people.
Have a good start to February my friends.

Good Morning All
Lily, how did the fund raiser go? ... I read that you had some concerns.
M0mmy, I hope that you are recovering well. When my mom used to visit, it was always an adjustment when she left ... a sad adjustment. Do you see your mom often? My mom lives 3000 miles away.
Foot, is your pneumonia improving ... I am hoping that the lung pain is subsiding.
Blondie, I just read that you have pneumonia and a new healthcare facility. How are you doing? WOW ... a lot to handle at one time.
Cami, you are in my thoughts. I hope you are taking good care of yourself.
Bippy, I agree with you ... Jazzy inspires me too. I hope your rads go well this week. Does your RO ask you to walk 20 minutes every day? Mine did. I did not ask him why he prescribed that; now I wish I had.
Hi Onco and Jazzy. I have never watched Downtown Abbey or Call the Midwife ... boy, am I out of the loop! I have just started watching America Unearthed and Ancient Aliens after a suggestion from my son.
Teka, how are you?

Lily- good to hear things went well for you this weekend! Take it easy today. Okay to be up and down.
Sally- how are you doing?
I agree with you about mom visits. It was always an adjustment for both of us when either would visit and then leave. My mom used to have this cute expression she would say after I left from visiting her "it's kinda quiet around here now." My mom passed three years this March and I still miss her, but glad she is at peace and no longer suffering. She had some tough years at the end. Enjoy your parents while you have them folks.

Just sitting here watching the snow. Mom lives about 2-3 hrs from me, depending on the route you take to get there. I try to see her when I can with the busy life we both have.

M0mmy, watching the snow must be restful ... I hope you are resting.
Jazzy, I am doing fine. Last Saturday my 9 year old GD and I went shopping at World Market for small, whimsical 95th b-day gifts for my mom. I knew my GD would think outside the box which should bring a smile to Mom's face and, maybe, a giggle to her lips ... after all who needs a sand filled, multi-colored, butterfly. My granddaughter is correct; it is a happy thing. We found other small items to wrap and put into a pretty gift bag that Mom can use for stuff she wants to organize near her recliner. I had fun with my GD and I hope Mom has fun with the objects of our thoughts. I will include a letter with the gift bag telling Mom what we were thinking as we picked each item. My 10 year old GD decorated a bag for some Valentine candy, so Mom will have multiple surprises in the shipping box. Her birthday is two days before Valentine's Day. I will mail her a card for each day separately. She loves getting mail.
I better close and get ready to take my DH to acupuncture. The acupuncturis'ts waiting room is a serene place. I get relaxed just sitting there.

I am a fighter, want to go into the office and talk to the nurse
but its been pouring down rain. coughing is hurting my lung and breathing.
So much of me, God bless all of You and those having challenges
I am praying for You. Hugs, Love, and prayer, Footprintsangel

Good morning hermits- I hope everyone is doing as best as can be expected on this Tuesday morning.
Footprints- I am sorry you are struggling, not being able to breathe is a scary thing (this comes from a life long asthmatic). Any options for some home health through your insurance?
Mommy- rest is a good thing. Rest and sleep!
Sally- I loved the story about shopping with you GD for you mom. I used to do similar things for my mom, bringing her special things for her birthday or Xmas when I saw her, and often sent her things too as she lived a few states away towards the end. I really miss that and sometimes see things still that mom would have liked. And I think everyone loves getting something in the mail too, besides bills, requests for donations, etc). I hope it all brings a smile to her face. And 95 too, wow! I bet she has some great stories.
Cami, Blondie, Teka, Bippy, Lili, Onco, Mags, Maiden, Monis, and everyone else here, hope you are doing okay......
Got some business networking things going on today so will say adios until later today and hope everyone has a peaceful day.

Housework? What's that?
Sally, thanks. My shoulder/rads issue has made me have to limit how much typing I do. Even the iPad puts a strain on it. 3 more weeks.
0 -
Mags, my iPad cursor doesn't go to the right spot when I try to reply on BCO. When I get it in the right area and get a message typed, it won't submit. Today I could not add a new event to my Yahoo calendar. Are you having any issues with your iPad. Thank goodness I have a desk top computer to use.

Yep, she is!

Hi hermits- hope everyone is doing well this week.
I am having a not so good week on social media between some weird stuff on Linked In and a personal attack today on FB. So I am going to stick around here more and less there. The world is a strange, if not outright angry place, sometimes.......
I have some apts today and also going to the gym!
Hoping everyone has a reasonable day, especially those in treatment.

Sally, I do have the issue with the iPad not showing the entry in the right place. I have found a couple of things that help that. Before I start typing, I hit "return" and that gives me a good starting place. If I try to correct something in my first line, it jumps the entry up under the edge of the box, so I just touch and pull down until it shows again.
It wasn't always this way, I started having the problem at some point in time when they changed something. I don't usually have problems with submitting, unless my wifi disconnects in the middle of the submission, which happens more often than you'd imagine.

Jazzy I cant imagine anyone being foolish enough to ever attack u---Let it bounce off, u'r way to good to say anything negative about you.
Mags that coffee looks so good and Teka there can never be enough coffee, u know that.
Wow Mags that shoulder of u'r is causing all kinds of crap--bad enough u have all the other problems, then that. I'm so sorry. No sooner did u call Teka she came. Good timing.

Cami- there were not people I know, so I am letting it go. I had some weirdo trying to make a love connection with me on Linked In (but I reported it and think it was a fake profile and he is gone now). Today, I posted something on an NPR post about the whole vaccination debate with the measles thing going on. And someone came out of nowhere and nailed me for that comment!
Like religion and politics, I am putting that hot topic in the out of bound bucket now!
One has to be careful on social media, I was just reminded of that again this week.
Teka is lurking- he he!

Cami & Teka, I'm home from rads and sitting here with a big cup of coffee with peppermint mocha Coffeemate in it. Yummmm. My cousin found what must be the last bottle of the season, at least around here, so I'm enjoying while I can.
0 -
Mags- glad you are home from rads and enjoying some coffee with the flavored coffee mate. Three more weeks after Friday, counting down with you......
Took some things to the home consignment shop and she took about four things, less than I was hoping, but I have some ideas for the rest. I will tell you, I could end up bringing too much home from that place, it is a really cool store. Took myself out to lunch after, ran an errands to the health food store, and then a two hour work out at the gym. Now I am home and setting in and have work to do tonight for my biz tax prep and continuing to work on the house.
It has gotten very warm here all of a sudden, which is nice of course, but I see things starting to green up and popping out of the ground. Too soon! I was talking to some in the hot tub at the gym and people say their tulips are starting to come up and one guy said he sees buds on his rose bush. We have a winter thaw going on here, but this won't last and we will get another freeze/storm and that may damage things.
I know what you are thinking, shut up about the nice weather already, Jazzy!

foots, wishing you well. So sorry you are struggling.
I am on 14 of 25 rads tomorrow. It will be good to finish.
All of my hermets in the snow....stay warm and safe. My Maine pal arrives here in a few weeks, she will not want to go home. They keep getting hammered.
Bippy is movin slow,,givin in, not givin up. Resting when needed, sleeping alot, whatever I need. Never been a late riser till BC. Now, well....I stay warm and cozy in bed as long as I wish. It is lovely to have the kittahes snuggle up. Animals are so intuitive about us. They are so loving. I am enjoying it while I can.
Hoping to get back into gear workwise in early March. Thanks Jazzy for your experience. It means so much! Am working on getting in with the county or the state. Hmmmmmm....a government job! Well, why not.

Getting a bit of snow today. Only going to be a dusting to 2 inches. I can deal with that!
Princess is really growing up. she has lost all her baby fangs. Three of them that she lost are already growing into place. She was trying to nurse from my finger when the fourth one came out.
