    I know, I -- it's going to backfire, most likely. Oy. What to give her to do that early? Something time consuming.

    M, love the Bec tantrum story. For our princess, we used to call that 'throwing a wobbly.' She was also a little bit of a biter. X

    I might let her do the hair of the princess. That would keep anyone busy.

    I think it may have worked bobo. It got better throughout day. Dinner was lemon jello. Gross. Apple juice. Chicken boullioin. Iced tea. Cherry ice treat. Cherry ice was best. Stomach not hurting but back hurts. Probably a normal back pain. Didn't want to do morphine do that I could see how things feel. Boo.

    Damn these people and their no IV placing asses. I am so glad they could use my port this time. They always go through my veins and u look like I was dragged behind a bus. And for me it DOES hurt.

    Crap I forgot about the guy that came with my envelope! It was so weird. He was wearing a suit and the nurse escorted him in and he handed me an envelope. I out it on table cuz nurse stayed to talk. Now it's gone. Grrr. Will have to have bond find it. Ok back hurts too much. Check in later

    Oh oh.. DP is having hallucinations about handsome men in suits delivering envelopes. Publisher's Clearinghouse? You sure there weren't any balloons? Was it Ed McMahon?

    Any word on when they will be setting you free? What about cyberknife reschedule?

    Yea Andrea! I too felt that no news was good news... but like you say it's Canada and I don't know how that goes. I was told immediately after my mammo, and made the appointment for the biopsy 2 days later.

    Bobo - make sure MD does a selfie.. we want to see her :)

    I had a pretty big meltdown in front of a lot of people today. I'm on this committee that I totally disagree with and everyone else has drank the kool-aid. I knew better than to go to that meeting and once there got a little 'passionate' about a few things. Not good. Afterwards, I said some pretty harsh words to the project manager who just happens to be one of the directors. Again.. not good. Not sure why I couldn't calm down...I was almost shaking. I guess I am just absolutely sick of working there.. or maybe I can blame the Arimidex! Either way, I wish it hadn't happened. Most of the people in there are non-technical people who are la la la just doing their stupid rubberstamp job and asking how high they need to jump for the new CIO.

    Quit sending those emails to DP.. those nurses are going to start feeling like the UPS drivers who are not happy with our DP. Speaking of packages, has Bond said if they are still arriving?

    SIS just called. Her stereotactic biopsy went well today! They said it was very small. Results in a week. Yes, we all know that drill!

    How are you doing DP? Hope you aren't in too much pain. You are the badass of all! I don't think I would lower my pain meds to see what pain I had! Hope you are getting more food. I get hangry pretty easily!

    Hurray Andrea!

    Loved Bec's tantrum story! I think we potty trained earlier back then! Mine were 15 months. My grandchildren were a lot older!

    Ouch Idesim! I hate getting stuck over and over! My policy has always been two tries, then they are done..next! DH and DS can both draw blood or start an IV so I have little tolerance for the ones who can't!

    What to do with MD from 8 am? Slice, dice, or chop something! Have her make a fruit salad with every fruit having to be peeled first! Can she actually do the princesses hair so it looks good?

    How is Sassafire? Little ones and dogs are a lot of work. Labs usually take a lot from kids, but you don't know what she had to endure before. My GD would try to "love" on the dogs to the point of pissing them off. We used to only allow her to be around them when we were present and had a Safe place for the dogs where she was not allowed. She has gotten better with age and a lot of training!

    Hope everyone has a good evening/day. Getting colder here with a storm moving up the coast. Haven't seen a flake yet!

    Yay SGC!!!

    That's some feast you had there DP. And lemon Jello... hmmm.. that's suspicious considering yellow is the theme of Bobo's wedding.

    Glennie, that's a first.. I've never heard of anybody being allergic to melon.. all kinds of melon? I think strawberry is about the only fruit of heard of allergies to.

    Bobo, there you go.. is she any good with her hair? Wouldn't want the princesses hair to be all messed up.

    Last Herceptin!!  YAY!!!!  Biopsy went well!!  YAY!!!

    PRB:   blame the Arimidex!!

    DP: maybe back is hurting from laying in bed?  Still, you have morphine!  Go for it!!  I bet the cherry ice was good.  Did Bond find envelope? Did you paint your toes?  Ava is ready to kiss them.

    PRB, sorry about your meltdown.. I'm sick of where I'm working too and for similar reasons.

    Oh yeah DP... what's with the envelope.. and the guy with the suit? I am intrigued.

    PRB-yes, definitely the Arimidex! My DD says I am the devil incarnate on that! I was only on it for two weeks, but it did me in! Bless you for hanging with it! S

    Hah.. well I only started it 2 weeks ago (took nothing for a year) and am now only taking it every other day. Doing my own 'thing' and hoping to eventually up it. Last time I tried it and couldn't think straight after 5 days. Figure something is better than nothing...maybe.

    Sgc, yay for being done with herceptin!! hope the best for sis and the biopsy. Hate the waiting for anything.

    Bobo, I am glad to hear that is was your idea for MD to take the pics, I was afraid she just informed you that was her job. Yep, we want to see her selfie!

    PRB, blame it on the arimidex for sure. I hate that you are in a job that you hate, or maybe just the coworkers but at any rate that is stressfull and you have enough stress. Same for Idesim.

    Good night all. I also sent email to DP but it wont be delivered until tomorrow. Sent a card to your house so hopefully bond will bring it to you if you dont get out before it arrives!

    Bobo, If you want pictures of the wedding, have Glennie take some too. And yes, we want one with MD in it. Maybe MD could take W boy for a long long walk to get his energy level down before the wedding.

    DP, Hope the envelope is found. I just love those clear meals in hospitals - NOT. After my hx I actually started liking jello.

    Envelope is all of my e-mails. Interestingly, bobos is all by itself and the rest are all foded together. That is a great joke. I totally giggled out loud and shared it with my friend who was visiting. Have not read the rest yet since she was here. Will read them all now.

    Sorry about meltdown WE need them sometimes though.

    No news. Had a cherry popsicle. Not sure about pancreas. Little bit of pain but I did take the morphine. will see how rest of night goes. Back pain is surely from bed. It still hurts though. boo.

    Toes and nails done. Really like nail color. Toes iffy. Didnt need emjoi thanks to xeloda. smoothest my feet have ever been. Raining now. Suppsoed to turn to snow tomorrow but also supposed to be like 70.

    I would def have a backup photographer. But it is a good idea to keep her busy. Vision driving me batty. I thinik i need a pirate patch now.

    DP, I hope you found the envelope, I am sure it was bulging with emails from this rowdy bunch and the man in the suit was sent to see who was the recipient, of all these grubby jokes!

    I like lemon Jello! You managed to get quite a lot of food down, albeit gentle on the tummy stuff! I hope the back pain is just from the Hospital bed.

    Good idea Wren, a long walk for W boy and MD is in order!

    Sgc, last Herceptin, that' gotta feel good! So glad the stereotactic also went well, a week to wait, we all know how long that feels.

    Sleep well ndgirl, chat tomorrow!

    PRB, so sorry about the meltdown, don't give yourself a hard time over it.

    Waving frmm the air conditioned living room, too hot, to be out doing anything today. M x

    all of tree emails are wonderful. You guys are so good to me as always. M's dirty joke is pretty good too. I'm sure someone down there was blushing. Will have to share those tomorrow. Going to close my eyes now. I cant see anyway. Btw. Puttin on eye makeup is hard when your blind in one eye. It's not cool. Good thing I am pretty well pec ticked with application. These letters keep getting smaller and smaller too. Bag

    Hey All ,

    image

    DP a cherry pop sickle sounds gourmet compared to that wretched hospital jello !!! Glad your are happy with your toes .

    Freaking cold and snow here Glennie, bobo and spookie picked the right state to live in .

    Bobo I can only imagine the wedding pictures by MD you must send us pics of her outfit 

    Z glad you are getting good advice from the trainer .

    Hello to all I have not mentioned by name . DH is home for 2 weeks putting the city house back together (baseboards, doors etc.) so hopefully I am on the down hill side of all this painting etc.

    I think we are in trouble . Son's GF looks in the oven . What is that she says ? I said its the broiler pan is came with the new oven .  "What is a broiler pan she says ?" I said you broil things on it . I see her googling broil on her I phone .  Then she says well I make those toll house cookies you break apart can I make them in the new microwave ?  I said I assume so but they would fit pretty good on that broiler pan !!!  .   I am trying to figure out ways to be nice to her as I don't want to be "that mother " . I swear when I look at her my mind just goes to that saying "the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead".

    Have a great a day !

    I "make" the toll house cookies you break apart. Bless your heart for not kicking her in the head fia.

    Not that those don't sound good right now. Ha. I'm so hungry ! Been waiting on my liquid breakfast for hours. Been awake all night. Took a shower. Still nothing. I wonder if they aren't going to give me anything. Surely it's breakfast time by 7am. 7am is shift change for the nurses. Grrrrrrr

    Hi DP!! **waving** No food? I am getting worked up.

    Hooray for no more Armidex! That's something to celebrate.

    Off to send an email so that someone can hump it over to you! Your vision sounds terrible. Can't you mention it to your MO? You are sitting there in the hospital, I think the MO should fix you up while you are there. XXX

    Green Card....woohoo!

    DP, can I order something in, for you? These fucktards are getting on my nerves! I hope you've had something to eat by now.

    Fia love that! Loved that episode of Sex and the City with the Carrie fart!

    Boiling hot here today, it is the beginning of The Australia Day long weekend, so the town has been filling up with people and boats again, thankfully this is it, till Easter. I think Dex will have a bath today, nice and early before it gets too hot to be outside.

    Tomorrow we have some Yard sales to go to and a Star Auction, just up our street. These auctions are where this company goes in and the auction off everything inside the house in lots. I love it! It is often just people who are moving away and can't be bothered packing everything up, so they can start again in a new location.

    Waiting to hear from Colin 2, he had an appointment with the "Throat Slitter" as he calls the surgeon, who will remove his Thyroid and all the lymph nodes in both sides of his neck. The 8 weeks on Warfarin did nothing for the blood clot in his calf, it is the same as at the very beginning. Apparently, they are going to do a tournequet (sp) on his leg when they operate. yikes!
