Dear fellow hermits- end of the weekend and wishing I had more "hermit time". Trying to get some 1099s in the mail that are due for tax time. The new week is on the horizon once again.
I did go and have a spa treatment today though! A nice wrap and energy treatment (hoping that it will help my energy....) It was a good thing to do as the weekend is ending.
FL Warrior- glad you got to spend time with your friend who helped you through your journey. Your outing sounded delicious, okay to splurge once and awhile. I have been eating very carefully since my health went south in the fall, mostly high protein for healing, but like to indulge when I can.
I think the whole "industrialized" food industry has contributed to so many of the health problems in this country. From hormones in our dairy and meat, to the way restaurant food is loaded up with so much we don't need. I have watched all the movies like Food, Inc. and Knives over Forks and also read "The End of Overeating in America". I think unless you grow it or raise it, kind of hard to know what you are really eating anymore.
Hoping the rest of you are doing okay and preparing for another week with whatever comes with it. Peace and love to you all!

Right--It's Monday tomorrow so it school for kids and work for moms or non-moms for most. I put my time in so no remarks LOL
Sometimes I miss work--well not work but spending the time with my friends--we don't see each other everyday anymore and I miss that. We still see each other and talk alot, but not everyday. Oh well es la Vida.
It seems so late tonight--well no sun today -so scary movies all day,and that's about it.

WOW! It sure is quiet here! Full moon Monday? Hope everyone is ok.
**WARNING** Rant starts here...I am in need of some good vibes...I really don't like this new job. Actually it is the worst work situation that I have encountered in all my years of working. I am looking for something else, which doesn't seem to be coming fast enough. I don't think I will be able to tolerate this place/situation much longer. You know its bad when a sharp stick in the eye sounds better than the job. sigh...
sigh... 
... 
... ok rant over.0 -
I'm sorry Fl!! Sending you positive vibes and thoughts to get through this until something better comes!! Ugh I hate it that you have to go through this after everything else

Happy monday fellow hermits- tired monday for me, low energy today, but got through a number of things I had to do including getting to the client site. I just had no steam today, I know many of you know how that feels. I hope tomorrow is a better day energy wise, kind of never know what to expect these days! I have more good days than bad though, which I am grateful for. Gping to bed early tonight!
FL Warrior- sorry to hear the job is not good. I do hope you can find something better. I am finding it much the same on my new client project, but I am grateful to have the work and they are flexible with letting me work remote periodically when I need to. I wonder if there are any good places to work anymore, but want to believe so!
Hoping everyone else is having a good or at least tolerable start to the week! Sending you all healing vibes!

Thanks Market and Jazzy. The stress and dread of the whole situation is causing me to have physical pain....
I would really like to get a good relax massage, but I am scared to. Has anyone gotten a massage after surgery/snb? I have some cording and feel like I am on the edge of lymphedema and I definitely don't want to do anything to push it over the edge.0 -
Thanks Skittle! The perfect spot for me with insurance...ahhh that sounds great!!! I hope for that as well!

I haven't had any massages. My side/arm and hand has been bothering me. Not sure if the hand is neuropathy or carpul tunnel (sp?).

Hi all. Its very early morning here, but iv been asleep practically non stop for 48 hours so that's ok. Just wanted to pop on and say I'm feeling much better. Problems haven't magically disappeared but they don't seem so overwhelming. Hoping I'm past the worse of it. Also hoping that all you special ladies are doing ok, if not fabulously. Xx

GMO's UGH!
Just curious how my fellow hermits re-entered the world of non-hermits?

Cleomoon u don't sound familiar to me--bit I do know it's not easy for some people and have to be puched, as far as working they really have to and push more and I really ie them credit, but most of us just want alone time more so than before and it takes a while to get around to be around people-for the most part we just rather stay home. But others will come on that have moved forward and tell u how they did it.
Shambles I know u needed the sleep, but did u get to the Dr. like u said u were going to do? I hope so.
FLI feel so bad for u doing something u hate. Do u have Craigs list there--they always have different jobs on the list or ask people u know if they've heard of anything new. I know u can do a lot on the computer, then u can check if it's reputable before u send in anything-alot ask for resume's before and FL might have more lists created to try the computer and see if u can get anything that way. It's super hard to get a dcent job around here too and they pay low cuz they can get away with it now and even if they are making money, now I'm a rant cuz everything is still so screwed up.

FLwarrior - sending good vibes your way. Hope this week is better for you. Wishing you a bright spot of a better job with benefits soon.
Shambles .. glad to here you are taking care of yourself.
Cleo .. some of us introverted to start with ... others just need down time. Most of us do get out and interact in the world, have friends, work, etc. , but just find we need more quiet time now. We just like to do it on our own terms. This thread is just a safe non-judgemental place, unlike a few other threads on this board, to just connect, find support, vent, etc. about BC, our lives, whatever.

Thought I would share my laugh for the day. So I google looking for mastectomy bras and I see a site selling forms and bras ... so I click on it ... they are selling stuff for people who want to dress in drag! .... too funny .... Just thought I would share.

Popping in to say hi to my fav hermits! I haven't caught up on the thread but I hope all are doing well.
Finished rads, skin held up ok so that is a positive. It is still 'raining' here, will check in when the clouds clear
Take care

Oh Whaevah thank you for checking in! I'm sorry for the rain
I hope the rainbow shows up soon (for a lack of a better cheesy cliche). Thinking about you and sending you big ugly watermelon-head hugs!
Bgirl, that's too funny!0 -
FL & markat... i did a little research on massage when recent pain issues flared up (i'm not one for massages, but ya do what ya gotta do...) Info I found said try to find a therapist who is familiar with bc issues (lymphedema, deep tissue issues, etc)... I never went. (not only hermit, but coward here.) Best wishes to the both of you if you go.
Shambles--what's your favorite on the menu? spicy? salty? Enjoy! and good luck with appt.
Camille--hope you're feeling better.
bgirl-- love your way of putting it. Just need some down time. (I guess the drag seekers are looking for up time?) eeg. cheesy.
whaevah--sending you a virtual umbrella. Hugs to you. Yay--no more rads!
cleomoon--as has been said, we're in all states of hermiting. Jobs, family, friends, all in varied stages... Hope you are well in your transitions.

Is there anyone around? I didn't make my doc appt as something major happened last night and I'm in the process of moving my other half out. Well will be in a cpl of hours. Had to get police involved etc. Not pretty. Anyway,I know I can type anything here, though do feel guilty that I may be bringing ppl down and I apologise if that's the case I really don't mean to. I hope everyone is ok and have peace in at least one way or another. Love to all xx

I know curveball and he`s gone now but feel so sad cos we had good times and everywhere I look there he is. I`ll heal I'm sure
0 -
Curve he actually is but I can't call the cops cos they got totally pissed with me last time and I don't wanna get arrested myself? They accused me of time wasting and made me feel like crap. Think things are different here in the uk to there as we have to pay via taxes? God I don't know but calling the cops here is a last resort and that's why I did it but I still feel guilty. Wish someone would just come and ram my head into a wall and make it work properly again cos I'm so not getting ”me” anymore..

@shambles, we have to pay for police via taxes here in the US too! But I'm sure the laws here are different than in the UK. Can you really be arrested for complaining about somebody stalking and harassing you?! In many places in the US, stalking is illegal. IMO, if the cops made you feel like you were wasting their time, they need some re-education. I've never been stalked, but it must be unpleasant and frightening, and can escalate and become a danger to the stalker's target. Do you have a friend or relative out of town you can stay with for a time or someone who can stay with you? I don't know what your legal options are on this, but maybe it's time to check them out.
Oh and by the way, your head does not need to be rammed into a wall, it's working just fine. If you are finding your thoughts confusing or troubling, it sounds totally appropriate to me, you are in a confusing and troubling situation that's enough to get anyone's brain buzzing. ((hug))
