    I try to stay busy this time of year. On the 29th it will be 2 years since DH died. Grief never ends, it just gets bearable. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes it is a long time ago.

    Petite1 - I'm sorry. I'm sure the holidays are a hard time, and you are missing him a lot.

    petite1: The holidays are stressful and even more so when you have a sad anniversary. I'm always happy to hear that you have some relatives and friends that are there for you. Yes, each year will be easier but even then, there will be times that it feels like it just happened.

    Waiting for results from my mamo and ultrasound on the new lump. 4 days to go.

    petite1: I must have missed your message about a new lump. Hope the test come back negative.

    I'll be traveling back to the USA on Friday—32 hours—if no delays. I have three appointments on Monday.

    Good morning. The lump is an enlarged lymph node. It just needs to be monitored. Yay! No cancer!! My pool repairs are finished. So, things are getting back to normal. Whatever that is….

    That's great news!!! Good to hear about the pool nearing completion.

    I think I mentioned that I would be trying to sell my house early next year. I have so much stuff to try to sell including some really nice pieces that I've collected in my estate sales hunting.

    Saw my MO about the pain in my femur and a rash on my breast. She wants to do a CT scan of the leg and a diagnostic mammogram. I'm doing the CT tomorrow but not sure when for the other. I'd love to do it this year before the insurance clock starts again.

    I go to TN to be with my mom for Christmas on Thursday. I think I'll rent a car and drive back before the new year. After all these trips to Africa this year, I hate airports and airplanes. Besides, it takes me about seven hours to get to the airport and home from my mom's and it's only 11 if I drive. I'd rather drive.

    Petite1 - Yay! I'm glad there's no cancer! Now you can relax during the holidays.

    Kamboka - Christmas in Tennessee sounds beautiful! Have a safe trip!

    My CT scan of the leg was negative. Not sure what caused my problem.

    It's cold in TN (29 degrees last night) and I managed to get a cold for the last four days. I don't like taking meds so everyday I'm hoping it will be the last day of the cold.

    There is some kind of park that has Christmas lights that I told my mom I'd drive her and my uncle to this weekend. I hope I can stay awake since I've been going to bed by 8pm. This place opens at 6pm and is 1 1/2 away.

    Kamboka, yay no cancer. I enjoyed my trip to TN last year. My niece is taking me to Alabama after Christmas. I am looking forward to it.
