Hi hermits- a little story to share with you today on this mothers day weekend. One of my neighbors a few doors down was out selling a few things in a mini yard sale. I had not met her before, but knew of her and one of the other neighbors told me she had lost her life partner to breast cancer last year. That was all around the time I was going through my earliest phases of diagnosis and planning for my treatment. To hear that news was sort of scary to me. Another reminder this disease still takes lives.
Today I went over to introduce myself and bought a few things from her. She mentioned loosing her partner and we talked a bit about that. She is still very sad and teary, but told her I understood (in more ways than she knows). It was just all a very nice sharing of things and now I have more pots for my garden that belonged to them. I think in a way, she liked the fact someone nearby has her things and will enjoy them. So many good things came out of our conversation. Shared grieving.
Sounds like everyone is doing okay, enjoying the mothers day weekend, hermiting, etc. I was out for awhile but now back in my shell.....

Happy Mothers Day to all my fellow hermits. You may be mother to young children or adult children. You may be mother to pets. You may be mother to an ill or aging parent. You may be mother within your communities. You may be mother to Mother Earth.
In all the ways women are mothers in this life, I honor each of you and wish you a lovely day!

Hi hermits- into a another busy week. My sinuses are acting up, and I hope I am not getting a sinus infection (me thinks it is just allergies once again).
Wishing everyone a good week with whatever lies ahead.

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The "thing" in my mamogram was some weird tissue from the radiation! Such a HUGE relief. I kind of wondered after doing some on-line investigation - the American Cancer Society recommends to NOT have a mamogram until at least 6 months after you've completed radiation. I cannot blame the doctor as this was my idea. But all is well - sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

CVmarilyn- such good news! The breast go through a lot after the radiation, and I have noticed some things since my treatments in Jan and Feb, that are now gone. I will have my first mammo in Sept which will be six months after the last treatment. Sounds like they did your mammo too soon. Whew, time to exhale! You felt it was going to be okay, here is to intuition.

Chocolate that was nice of him to send it to u and one thing about her is when she gets advocating something she's relentless who knows what this can bring about for the future. OMG she's so beautiful, now that's unfair LOL

cami--
im a bit into astrology(of course there are exceptions to every rule).
angelina jolie has venus on her ascendant--
venus= planet of beauty-among other things.
ascendant= physical self, self-expression, etc.
it's in her stars! hehe
i don't have that placement. lol

Oh Blondie u deserve anything u want--such an ordeal u'r going thru.
Teka I'm glad u found shoes--I have no a litte dressy shoes I can wear anymore--I'm trying to find my size in nothing elaborate just kinda cute--they're so expensive or not cute enough--I don't understand why do people who make shoes thing people with big feet aren't entitles to have cute shoes.

Blondie--what flavor?
Enjoy. I'm sticking to salads, trying to get rid of a couple of pounds before appt. MO gets cranky for any gain... Appt. next Tuesday.Teka--Never tried saucony. Your testimony is tempting. I have tired feet daily, but blamed it on school room floor/concrete with ancient thin carpeting. Hmm... Shoe shopping in my future?
chocolate--I know nothing of astrology. Hobby? (Scorpio is all I know...)
camille--I share your concern for markat. Quiet is not always a good thing... Too much going on. Wish we could each help her in some way...
Laurie--good thoughts your way. Hugs.

hi blondie-- enjoy your shake! i'm not a "fan" of AJ either... just neutral.
teka-- new shoes are a good thing--comfort being priority! enjoy!:)
skittle--hello--i'd say a little beyond a hobby:) im a scorp, too. love the symbolism of the planets. fascinated by the stars. i think we give things power by giving energy to them.
cami-- they have all kinds of sizes at zappos.com-- free shipping too. don't know if you've been there.
i have to get wide ones cause my feet and ankles swell(and my right leg)--they also have extra wide--lots of cute shoes!
I prefer the slip ons--like mules or clogs.
have an awesome day, everyone!
