Oh my goodness. The week has flown by. I have started several posts and never got to "post'. Year end work and the holidays are insane this year. Last night was my daughter in law's 2nd college graduation, this round with her Bachelors in Engineering. So proud of them to stick it out and achieve these accomplishments. My…

Great news Sarah!!! I'm glad you met with them and had such a positive experience. That is half of the battle, the calm that comes with knowing you're in good hands. I know it will be helpful to you! Hugs!!! At Starbucks their Mint Majesty tea is the bomb. That's my fave when I don't want to go with coffee or the other…

YAY for Ella!!! Now the road to recovery. The challenge I encountered, was like her, boredom which led to overactivity. So be sure she still gets in her rest period to allow her body to heal. So glad it all went well!! Good luck Mama!! Be sure to check in on yourself and Shawn as well. Once she is mobile enough and feeling…

Oh my goodness... what a weekend. We got into Cathedral City about 2am. Slept until 6ish and hit the road before 7. We got to Disneyland about 830am and chatted with a cast member on how to see the Candlelight Procession. Welp. All curb spots were already taken and spare seat allotments were already dispersed. We were told…

Happy Friday ladies - and yes Sheesh - we have a spare room and plenty of sunshine to share so yes, you're welcome to visit...lol. Some mornings I get to enjoy a cuddly sweatshirt and by lunch (sometimes breakfast), back into my short sleeve tech shirt. Kelly Happy Birthday to your daughter and I will pray for a speedy…

Sheesh - those pictures are ADORABLE....love the pedi picture. Core memories were made!!! ANd it looks so cold. Brrrrr.. Sarah - that pic is awesome. so serene and relaxing. I hope your little Teddy improves. Losing them is so hard. That's why after our last cocker spaniel past away, we didn't get another. The heartache…

Sheesh - it sounds like you had an amazing holiday celebration with your family. And yes, we are getting our money's worth from the DL passes. One last trip for the remainder of the year. Can't wait to get some more trips lined up for next year. My back is feeling much better today. I drove to/from the office and sat…

Happy December! Hoping everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We had a great time. Saw family for Thanksgiving. Then off to Disneyland for for days. LOL. Stopped at DL before settling into our hotel room and ran over to DL for a couple of hours to SHOP. Bought my pins that I wanted and silly popcorn buckets and sippers that…

OK. I'm so old now!!! After making my lasagna, as I was cleaning the countertop I did something to my back and I've been suffering with back spasms and gasping for the past two days!!! UGH. Went to urgent care this am and got an rx for a muscle relaxer and prednisone. Hopefully it will be better by tomorrow night to travel…

WOW. Never thought about doing it from frozen. And yes, my first thought went to the neck and giblets -- eww. And no, I keep a turkey in my freezer for almost a year all of the time. I may give that a go sometime when I don't need to feed anyone else, and I usually get a 16lb or larger...I'm sure I can adjust the time.…
-
Sheesh - great job and good news from the doc! And I agree - keep going with the trainer. Be careful with the jumping and dancing. I'm still wary since rupturing my Achilles while dancing/jumping. I love having thanksgiving at home and the fall decorations. The only reason we're jumping on Christmas is because we will be…

Oh Sarah I feel for you and truly wish I could do something to assist. I like the idea of getting into another facility. Two of my friends/colleagues are going through some and they each had a "liaison" who was handling their appointments. SO I truly hope you get somewhere where the service, treatment and responses are…
-
Happy Monday morning Ladies. Sarah - the uptick may just be your body holding onto everything with the stress you're feeling about your treatment plans. Plus extra sugar - but that's just my thoughts. I know it's easier to say when it's not you, but I agree with the radiologist... :wink: And then I do the same thing, so…

Oh my goodness. Returned from my Cali trip - EXHAUSTED doesn't define it - not even close. LOL. Drove to Oceanside Thursday morning. Got there early afternoon. Had lunch and checked into the hotel. Got a little settled then explored how to find the hotel my friends were staying. So super easy to find. Back to hotel to rest…

Good morning everyone. Sorry - Life has been crazy busy this past week. I thought I had posted something last week, but alas, I see nothing. Saw the doc yesterday for my toe. It's healing. Still feels like something is healing or there, but he's assured me I'm healing and healing well. Our weather jumped from 95-100 to the…
-
Sheesh - enjoy your family!!!! Chef was here. Balsamic Salmon, sweet potatoes and zucchini for lunch, and some chicken salad (no bread) for dinner. And I LOVE the Cheesecake Factory steak medallions Delicious. My toe is healing, but not quite ready to walk in sneakers or too far in flip flops. So I'm holding tough and…
-
Good morning ladies! Sarah - hang tough. Stage 0 is good...remember that. Sheesh, they had me stop all calcium and vitamin d before I did my dexa. The docs office called last night to say they are normal. So yay again. I had one done in 2021 I think. I've been doing them since age 40 due to the amount of steroids…
-
OK. So I had my mammogram and dexa this morning. Mammo results just received - all good. I am anticipating Dexa to be fine as well. Toe is healing...itching is a positive sign I believe. Sheesh and Sarah - keeping the prayers going for more positive news on both of your fronts!!
-
OMG. Of course we have the gorgeous weather while I'm recovering with my toe!!! We were in the 70's and now.....back to the 90's!!!! UGH. Anyhow, I did get a sock/shoe on my foot on Saturday. We brought the wheelchair and scooter just in case. Since Rhea was only good for a few hours. So just when I was ready to send hubby…
-
So glad to hear from everyone. Sarah - breathe!! Results will be known soon. And I'm sure they will all be good! I'm keeping the prayers and thoughts for that. So my toe is feeling SO MUCH better today. Refreshing the neosporin and bandaid whenever the toe begins to itch. So I'm ok with that. I did meet with my new primary…
-
Great job Sarah!!! Especially when you're limited on activity etc. Keep it up. Sheesh - Great job on your reduction - and with your trainer being out. I agree, somehow the trainers really get you to push yourself. And I agree, aren't these follow ups fun!!! WOOT WOOT party time. So my toe - yes, I cried when he injected…
-
Sarah - hoping your recovery is still going smoothly and the pain is reducing. I've told you from your pictures that you don't need a facelift. You know that would require needles - YUCK!!! Anyhow it sounds like you're in good spirits and headed in the right direction. Find a good book and escape until you're able to move…
-
Sarah - super great news! Glad you're home and pain is tolerable. Keep calm for just a little longer...you'll be working out before you know it. Sheesh!! WOW!! Great job and focus!!! I think I found yours....lol Upstairs AC is replaced. Arrived before 9 and was done close to 1. Upstairs is now 78! WOOT WOOT (was 87 when…

Praying for a quick and successful procedure and speedy recovery Sarah!!!! You've got this! We're here for you! Happy early birthday Kelly - Tuesdays are my check in days - I don't always see them until later in the morning. So happy early celebrations. Hoping you all had good news from your daughter's doc visit. Thinking…

Happy Monday morning ladies. Super busy weekend. Friday took 12 yo granddaughter and her mom to the movies - we watched Hocus Pocus to get us ready for Halloween. Yes, we've all seen it so many times, but it was still fun. My grandson had his homecoming game Friday night, so after dinner we headed to his game. They kicked…
-
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SHEESH!!! Honestly, I DID remember, it's the same day as our anniversary so I can't forget. I just took all day Friday off and made myself stay off the computer all day... I was too concerned that I would end up "just checking on this one thing for work - and then time suck the day away on work when…
-
Happy Thursday ladies. Sheesh - Enjoy the small achievements. ALL of your pictures look amazing. I love to hike solo as well.. hopefully you had shared your location on your phone/watch and alerted someone you were heading out that way solo. I am all for solo hikes, but I agreed with the family I would share location and…
-
WOW so much activity. Forgive me if I missed responding to something. Sarah - I get your frustration and we have the same impact to scheduling here as well. Hard to get dermatology vision and dental appts in these last few months of the year. I'll keep you in my prayers that you get a date sooner rather than later.…
-
Kelly - good news on your mother in law. My ma was also one to not give up smoking. Even after losing 3/4's of her right lung to lung cancer. She was still smoking the day before she passed. Nicotine is some addiction - that's for sure. This was in 1992 and patches were not really that popular yet. Great news her sister is…
-
Congrats Sarah!!! WAY TO GO!!! Starting to feel a little better - finally! Still a bit fatigued but otherwise feeling better from my sinus infection. Good news - our weather is FINALLY dipping below 100! Had a company meeting yesterday that involved me being in far north Scottsdale at 8am for a company photo shoot. Oh…
