    Hoping everyone in path of hurricane will be safe.................

    I am feeling really low, I just feel so very weary, even simple things are such a battle, like getting an MRI........

    Hi Lily- MRI's are no fun, I can understand that you are feeling low. Is the MRI part of a check up or are you concerned about something?

    had two breast MRIs this year, dread them, I have lumps and bumps byt MRI I am waiting for is of hips as something showed up on X ray......Dr who ordered it wrote ? Mets...... But now it seems I need a specialist to authorise this mri so won't get results before ONC appt now.......still waiting on bone density results on test that was done in March........inefficiency like this translates to not being cared about for me .......I dont think I have bone mets but it is clearly something and I am now back on medical appts for one problem or another until April.....it gets very wearing emotionall

    Lily- prayers for you sister there are no mets in the bones. Six months to get bone density outputs is riddick too. Please let us know how your MO apt goes?

    Teka- so very pretty! We are getting some soaking rain today. May mess up the last of the balloon fiesta. Tonight they do the final glow and fire works. Tomorrow is the final mass ascension which may go about the time my flight takes off for NYC.

    Will be back here in a week or so friends. Take good care of yourselves!

    Been busy with having finishing my last class paper and starting the classwork for next week, which includes another paper of about half a dozen pages. Got a topic and found several articles to help me with it.

    Teka- beautiful photo of leaves! Hope to see a little color in the city this coming week.

    Lily- I think there is a lot of pressure on women after breast cancer treatment to "just get on with things." Our worlds are significantly changed after treatment, and for some women, the side effects and after effects can be huge. Be kind to yourself and best to take things one day at a time when feeling overwhelmed. I tell myself I am doing the best I can each day, knowing not all days will be equal. Hugs sister.

    What a great idea.image

    Lookingforward: I had not heard of this term - food forest - but now that I Googled it I find that there are many of them around the US and other countries with considerable variation suited to the region. Most of the ones I found are more like community gardens supplying food to contributors (gardeners) and or to food bank, but are not free for the 'picking' to anyone. The Seattle idea, if truly free, would be great.

    Hi friends- I like Halloween but usually don't do the candy thing anymore. I live in a community where there are kids or they drop them off here and it gets crazy. Given it's a Monday night, rethinking it this year and may do it for a few early hours and then shut off the light. Sometimes the little devils bang on the door long after the light goes off!

    My client site does a costume party for Hallloween, and usually I don't do it, but going to stop by with a fun "madhatter" hat I found in Sept for $10. I can go in with it for an hour to the room and then take it off the hat and leave. Might be the only fun I have in that place this month?

    Teka- my mother used to buy big bags of candy a month before Halloween and eat them up before mid month. There was always chocolate in our house growing up the whole month of October.

    I love roasted pumpkin seeds. I need to get a pumpkin this weekend!

    Holy Cow!

    Probably won't do candy on Halloween. We don't have a lot of kids in our neighborhood and we are usually the only ones on our street that give out candy. When we first moved here the kids came in droves and we would run out fairly early. Last year we were lucky if we got a dozen kids. Had two full bags of candy left that night!

    Hubby and I bagged the leaves I raked yesterday.

    Bagging leaves is so getting ready for winter, short days, and hibernation unless one gets overstretched and overstressed for the holidays. Fortunately, I only celebrate New Years.

    Magiclight- end of the year holidays not my favorite either. I love Winter Solstice and go to a yoga practice to celebrate change of seasons. I hope to be soaking in the hot springs over Xmas weekend.....
