Lanette--Sorry to hear about Sophie. Never easy.
Michele--Your bear is cute, I am sure she will enjoy it.
Debbie--I understand that not being a nice person at times. I find myself that way this week and I am not happy with myself, but we are not giving up and we will do better. I believe in you and me.
Heather--So hope you are feeling better.
Allie--Good Luck today, sending prayers.
Margaret--Thanks for the reminder that we all need to be on the watch for each other. It is not safe out there.
Not feeling the best today. Everything I eat does not agree with me. This happens when I get really stressed and it has been on of those weeks. I did learn yesterday that if I want the attention of the president of the hospital, I just have to have one of my staff on the floor cleaning it with a Mr Easer. Long story if my dept is a pit and they keep telling me we are on the list. Well yesterday the girl I was working with decided to clean under her desk and one tile at a time and she ended up doing the whole floor, and about the time she was almost done the president comes walking by and wants to know why she is on the floor when we have people for that. I told him that we do not as I keep getting told they are short and don't have time. Also our floors are so old they can not be waxed. I had him come in so I could show him around at our falling apart cabnits that have replacements in the basement that no one has time to put in and walls that need painted. I told him I have told my boss that if they bring the stuff we will do it. Well president says we have people to do that, I again told him we were on the list, but been pushed back for at least 3 years because of other projects. I asked him if any other office in the hospital looks as run down as this. He told me he would talking to people and if my boss doesn't get back to me about it in a week to call him, also within 10 minutes housekeeping was up here with a machine to buff the floors and are coming in tonight to wax. It should not be this hard to get things done. I did tell the lady that was on the floor that from now on when I needed something done and get no results she was going on the floor again. Sorry to go on so, but it really messes with me.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

Vicki - You should be really PROUD of yourself for speaking up and getting a result. Way to go!
Yes it is hard, but you are doing it. Kudos to you.
Had a bit of a meltdown tonight. I succumbed to a Pernod because I was sooooo tired. Mistake. I hadn’t done any post lunch exercise because I was exhausted. Resulted in a mini Pernod binge. I'm not over basic calories, but over my goal. Forgiving myself. Indulged in stinky cheese. OK.
Zoom with girlfriends was good. I realised while I was talking about it that quite a bit of DH'S reluctance to re-visit sites is because he had stayed in these places on very happy holidays with his previous partner who died of breast cancer.
I know he wants to enjoy the holiday with me, but I am a complete newcomer, and he is an old hand.
I'm glad I've understood the problem.

Barbara — Our veterinarian’s staff called us and let us know about a local dog breeder. We went to her home and met lovely dogs. She had two amazing black Standard Poodles that were getting ready to leave for a dog show. Both were absolutely stunning. We were attracted to a lovely medium sized gray poodle. We have been told about a litter that will be born at the end of March. We are hoping this might include a future dog for us.
We lost our last pup to cancer. He was the sweetest Keeshond and we held him in our arms as he passed away.
We want to find a new healthy pup and are hoping for a pup in a future litter. We respect the advice of our Veterinarian’s staff, who recommended this breeder.

I rode Henry today. We did well. I could tell he wanted to be lazy but he responded when I asked him to. Pretty much. We had a nice trot. We put some rings on poles and trotted some smaller circles.
My exercise plan is going pretty well. Too many peppermint patties have crept into my diet. There's just not a lot of room for candy, but I have been squeezing it in. Weigh in is tomorrow, so I should be drinking water instead.
Allie hugs to you. Hope the news is good.1 -

Lanette - So very sorry to read about the loss of your fur baby.
Heather: - I hope it’s not Covid, and that whatever it is goes soon.
Allie: - Glad you had your biopsy. Sending positive vibes for a good result.

Allie-I know the waiting is tough. While it is weird to hear, most thyroid cancers are very treatable (they used to say it was the "best" cancer to get). I was first diagnosed in 1996, had thyroid removed and have been on synthroid since they. I have a rarer type of thyroid cancer (hurtle cell). Very slow growing. My levels are slowly rising, but they can't find enough of anything to do anything about. I refer to it as my chronic cancer.
If your thyroid has been off for a while, that could have contributed to some of your other issues. The thyroid is a powerful little gland that impacts or whole body. Hang tough-you've got this!
Take care,

Worked, then went to lunch with the Newcomers, mainly because this one gal who is on the bowling league was running it and she was afraid there wouldn’t be enough people. In the end there were 17 of us. Then prebowled. Came home and worked on the puzzle a bit. Had dinner and then I’ll probably work some more on the puzzle
Had a grilled chicken wrap for lunch, only water to drink, baked potato (plain) as the side (I only ate ½). I did ask them to leave off the cheese and ranch dressing but to add grilled mushrooms.
I’ll get a one month membership to the gym down in FL. I just have to call her while we’re on the road and give her my credit card # and she’ll activate my card so I can use it Tuesday. I found a few other DVD’s that I want to take down (just the ones I downloaded since they take up much less room) so I’ll do one of those, a Gilad body sculpting DVD
katla – many times a company sponsors a dog/cat at the Humane Society so you don’t even pay the adoption fee!
Right now in time I’m thinking that maybe we should foster a cat. I know Vince will be a foster failure and so will I, but this way we can be sure the cat interacts well with our cats. But that’ll be a ways off
Jess is making up a list of people to send her graduation announcements to.
Heather – hope you feel better real soon
Margaret – most police would rather you call in something that is nothing. You can never be too careful.
6 Parkers – welcome
You know, I have no interest in the Olympics. I understand the ratings are down, mainly because evidently some people are upset with China. NBC must be pretty upset
Vicki – so sorry you’re feeling bad
Allie – hope everything goes well for you.
Oh, I understand that this one lady was supposed to have an operation and it had been cancelled two or three times before. Well, it was cancelled again. I'm sure she's in a lot of pain and very disappointed that it was cancelled again. She's sort-of taking it out on us. She went on and on about how I should put the lids on the tomatoes and lettuce. It's not what she's saying, it's how she's saying it. But I do understand that she's saying it in that way because she's in pain. Anyway, I understand she was getting on Jerry's case. He had his head in his hand at one point, so I went up to him and said "are you OK?" I tried to tell him that she doesn't really mean the things she says, it's just that she's in pain. He really didn't understand. When I took him home today, he was going on and on so I just let him talk and get it out of his system. He apologized to me once for getting upset, so I just told him "don't worry about it. I know deep in my heart that you get upset, but then 5 minutes later we're the best of friends."
Lynette called. Evidently her mother has cancer. Or so that is what Lynette said. Anyway, this is the first time she's had to deal with a parent very sick. She called me to ask what I should get her mother to eat since it seems the mother isn't eating. I really don't know what she likes. I did suggest a milkshake or pudding, something easy to swallow. Will this help? Who knows? But Lynette is beside herself, she just doesn't know what to do. I do feel sorry for her.

Lanette -- I'm so sorry for the loss of your dog.
Had my first radiation treatment this afternoon, and feeling a bit off. It's probably not just that, but the Ibrance is kicking my butt, too.
Reading along, but I don't always have the energy to respond.

Dropped eldest off at the security checkpoint today, and it all hit me, "he's leaving"! Tight hugs then he rounded a corner and was out of sight. Lee took my hand and we walked to the area outside SEA/TAC to catch the shuttle back to the hotel. I just cried and sobbed. We had a nice dinner the night before though, at IHOPS.
He's currently on his way to Guam, and hopefully getting some sleep. We went to sleep early last night and got up at 3:30am to get to the airport the recommended 3 hours prior. His covid test was done yesterday morning and he got the results in 2 hours. Happy that wasn't a bigger issue.
On the way home we stopped at Fred Meyers, a store we like, that's on the mainland. I bought some Tillamook yogurt I like but don't get at the conmissary. Then bought some new bath items because I want to take son's bathroom and make it mine. Also got some collapsible cubes for storage, for my art stuff. In various colors. Then finally a pile of pretty magazines with positive stories. It was all too much money, but I was kind of numb and just put them in the cart. Its been things I wanted to buy for awhile. If not today, when I feel at my most fragile then when?💖
Going to bed. Its been an emotional day, and I have had soup and a can of beer.
