    Thank you Jazzy and Onco........I need to find a suitable name before I can move on to web stuff ,.......and I am stuck on that as its not really a retreat.........but first I need to get some furniture as there is very little here......not even proper beds, but its cheap rent as it is not fully furnished and cos it needs maintenance so I am quite happy with that, its just right now we have our coldest winter days for years, wind howls through here and I am cold and got sick on night 2 here.....ecven the cats are cuddling up to the dogs for warmth! Everything feels like an enormous effort.............well in fact it is! I think I am coping fine but I do feel very down today.................

    Output is still in the 20s this morning. Forgot I had an appointment for today until hubby mentioned it yesterday afternoon, called my usual rides but no one was available. So I'm going to cancel the appointment and let them know that the readings have been in the 20s since Sunday night and make a new appointment. Hoping I'll be able to arrange a ride or hubby will have to talk to his boss about his getting out of work early to take me.

    Lilly- I am glad you are in your new place, but it sounds cold there. Perhaps you need a bit of time to settle in there, get some furniture, etc. and create the space you want. Hard to do in the midst of the cold, cold winter. I hope you feel better, it a lot to move and you are coming out of the relationship too so be patient with yourself. I am glad you have the pets with you.

    So not a retreat, but perhaps refuge or sanctuary?

    Mommy-sorry you were not able to get to the apt, but hopefully you can get something rescheduled and find a ride. I know you want those drains out.

    Mags and Bippy- how are rads going this week. Week #4 for you both I believe....

    Got some tax things and biz development work to do today so have a good Tuesday everyone.

    Sanctuary. That has a solid ring to it, Jazzy.

    Today will be #19 for me. Still no skin issues, just the swallowing problem. I have developed some eczema in the inner elbows, doc says that's not unusual post-chemo. I had eczema as a child, but haven't had anything this bad since.

    Fatigue is catching up to me; even though I have chronic fatigue to start with, it's so much worse. Went to bed at 9 last night, unheard of for this insomniac. Couldn't keep my eyes open all afternoon and evening after tx.

    Got a new appointment but it looks like at this point hubby is going to have to do it. Ah well, it'll be worth all the hassle when they finally come out!

    Mags- rads are very fatiguing. At least you are sleeping better through the night.

    Lily,

    I think Sanctuary has a really nice sound to it

    Mommy- oh yes, they need things to close up, I had the same thing after I had my internal rads tubes removed. I had to wait a day or two.

    Partay in the morning for mommy!

    I am trying to set up a new TV. Giving one of the old style ones I have had since I moved in to a friend who could use a second TV for her house. She is coming for it tonight. But I still don't have it all working yet. I will persist.....

    Taped a fresh gauze pad with a generous amount of anti-bacterial ointment over the incisions where the drains were and then.

    lol

    gonna see a dusting of snow tonight, but then one of the next storms could bring us 3-6 inches more. We've had a little bit of melting in the last two days, but that's gonna end with the bitter cold coming in today.

    My best friend still lives in CT and they mentioned the extreme cold.

    Stay warm my friends. Spring now five weeks away....

    Fresh from a hot shower that felt so awesome! I'm not going outside today except to take out the dog to do his business.

    Good morning hermits!

    Teka- please stay healthy. Also trying to stay flu free this way too!

    Footprints- I hope can get the sleeping mask problem worked out. I remember you were waiting for it for awhile for that to arrive. Sigh. Faith as your companion (on every level....)

    Mommy- sleeping on one's side, hot shower, all sounds good. You are on the mend once again......

    Mags and Bippy- almost done with week 4 of rads. One more day to go after this. Counting down with you still.....

    Lilly- hope you are feeling warmer and more settled in your new space?

    Onco, Ducky, Daisy, Cami, Blondie, and everyone else here, hope you are doing okay today.....

    Happy Birthday Onco!

    Hello Hermits,

    Mags, snooze as much as you can. Do you have a soft cuddle blanket? Any more peppermint creamer for the coffee? Some soft music... create a sanctuary. You are one strong woman!

    Lilly, it sounds like your sanctuary will be well thought out and comforting. Enjoy the process. Jazzy had lots of good advice on practicalities. Hope your retreat will be comforting for you as well as others...

    Onco, Hope you are well! We all need a sanctuary don't we? OOOOH - Happy Birthday!!! love the shells on that cake. Hope there is a celebration complete with smoothies!

    Mommy, stay indoors and send that pup out - that's what I do (show him treat before he goes out...)! Don't fall and hurt yourself. Drain-free and showering - whooo hooo!

    Footprints, will pray for easy breathing with the mask and without.

    Teka, I shared your pic of the "Despicable Me" minion with my kids... so funny. Where do you find these things?? DO NOT CATCH THE FLU (or measles)! stay home as much as possible, everyone. If you stay inside, you won't slip on ice...

    Jazzy, where do you go to find pics as well? You gals make me smile.

    All, stay warm, dry and smiling ...

    Daisy- some of the pics I share here come off FB from friends and family. The birthday picture came from a googled site, not sure which?
