    Minus - It had to be done. 😉 But now I’ve offered to do a Whole 7 with him. My plans to make madeleines are on hold for at least a week. Hopefully that’s enough time for him to feel better.

    I’ve been a fan of the Neville Brothers for over 30 years. ❤️❤️❤️

    Had a telemed appointment with RO earlier. She told me my chest CT was clear, but the rest hasn’t been read yet. I didn’t know there were site specific specialists. They should be read by my Mar 8 appointment. Has plant care finally taught me patience? She wants to add a TSH test to my next blood tests so I will drop by radiation oncology first. She plans to squeeze me in for a quick exam, too. I love my health care team.

    Came across this rendition of Zombie. 😢

    oldladyblue - And they were good! 😋

    Jazzy - Thank you! That did help. I’m learning that Ukrainians are such brave people and funny. Glad to see many are against this invasion.

    Seems Putin has succeeded in uniting most of the world including Russians against him. Have I brought up how much I admire the Ukrainians? Their trash talking is marvelous. From the Sunflower lady to their president. ❤️🇺🇦❤️

    cancer is so weird. My slice of joy this week was getting to see a CT scan - not taken for a cancer related cause - that showed no lung Mets. (All it takes is a slight cough and a slight wheeze to make me think the worst!).


    I’ll take the joy wherever I can find it

    Jazzy - I love PFC and their collaborations!

    NotAsCalm - Yay for clear CT! I should get the rest of my report next week. I operate on the thought that no news means nothing terrifying is happening.

    Minus - I wish for peace, but it isn’t happening soon enough. I’m still amazed of reports showing Ukrainian mettle. On news of the Russian invasion, some Ukrainians are dropping everything to go home to fight. 🇺🇦💪

    R.E.M. - You Are The Everything ❤️

    Jazzy - Didn't even realize she had children! He sounded wonderful. She's clearly thrilled to sing with him.

    We had unexpected ice cream. Just means we had ice cream that had been opened, but then forgotten because a yummier dessert was available. Topped with dulce de leche. 👍

    ETA: I did fast 36 hours. Broke with leftovers from last night. 😋

    Jazzy - Beautiful!

    Hey, I can post again. 🙃

    Just in time to report my CTs were clear. Many unremarkable organs. “No evidence of metastatic disease." Though I do prefer the gynaecology oncologist saying “beautiful" when she looked at different organs by ultrasound. 😉 TMs rose though. 😫

    Finally got in. Made sourdough focaccia with pesto. I was impatient and should have let it rise longer. Still tasty. Slow food 👍. Slow tech 👎.
