Hi Folks! Thought I would check in. @shanaber. Bummer about the rough go with the new chemo, so glad you have attentive doctors who can read the number and make the right calls for you. Glad you got to spend time with DD! I haven't been to a Zoo in probably decades. @quilteryoyo. What a cute kiddo! Looks like a content…

@shanaber I hope you get into that trial and it works for you! A friend of mine is in a similar situation and she has been "lucky" that they seem to be controlling the growth of her lesions with daily oral chemo. She just graduated nursing school and is doing really well! @quilteryoyo We are in a similar boat with eating…

Good morning Folks! @shanaber. I am so bummed to hear about your PET results...I hope this is only a 1/2 step back from all the progress you made. You are an inspiration with your drive to keep moving and taking it day by day. Something I can learn from you. @quilteryoyo. Sorry about to hear about your cousin. I hope you…

Good morning folks! I never realized how busy life could be. I don't know if I was sheltered or this is just the season I am in. We had sentencing and it was a long day. I finished my statement and was happy with it, highlight mom and also pointing out how LS has shown zero remorse or accountability. DH went with me and…

Good morning and Happy New Year! @swenson19d Sorry about Baylee. We have so many coyotes and foxes and hawks here that it is really a danger. Glad you found a great place to stay! I am sure that is a big stress reliever. And yeah, apartments never seem to be "in budget". @quilteryoyo I am still waiting on the water…

Good morning folks! @shanaber You are a tough cookie! Get your rest and I am thinking about you! Happy Holidays everyone! We are chugging a long here. @Shanaber that rain was non-stop! We ended up getting 3 inches over the course of 2 days but I am pretty sure most of that was within a couple hours and then it just dripped…

Hi Folks! Another week! Another chance to keep this ball rolling. DH caught a miserable cold last weekend and somehow I seem to have avoided it for a change. Usually it is the other way around. I have been officially tracking calories for 1 week! I have MFP set for between 1650 and 1750 calories ...which based of my Apple…

@swenson19d Poor Kevin, but he is one lucky pup. I feel ya on the $$...black cat is currently costing us $1K a month for chemo and meds :neutral:

@quilteryoyo. Happy runnings at the T-10 Miler! It must be a Space Force wide thing because they are having one here at Vandenberg as well. I 1000% could not afford this either. Thankfully Mom left me just enough money to do it. @swenson19d. Welcome back! I think we all 100% understand where you are right now LOL.

Hi Folks! I haven't been getting on much since not much has been going on. (I say this as I will probably write a novel LOL). All is well and status quo in the house. I am really working on not stressing and fixating on "to do's". I suspect I do it because I have nothing else to fixate on. I am not saying going back to…

Good morning folks! Glad to hear from folks and how you are doing! Things are chugging along here. House: Wrote more checks LOL. We did get the soils report and I have a meeting with Public Works to discuss the driveway with the contractor. He should be able to get the work done quickly, it is a small project. Then we just…

Good morning and happy monday! @quilteryoyo It is crazy expensive and complicated for sure! So much hurry up and wait. I was talking to a neighbor this past weekend at the property and about the same time I started with the building, they bought property in Sisters Oregon and planned to build. I asked how it was going and…

Good morning Folks! @shanaber I am glad that Pismo didn't let you down (too much). I have never stayed down in any of the hotels on the beach and honestly I don't think I have even eaten down there. Mom had an oyster bar she liked to go to but I don't remember where. We don't even go to the beach usually b/c the parking is…

Good morning folks! Wow, time is flying! Yet it has only been 7 weeks since retirement. Odd feeling. Still been busy. Trial: I did talk to the lead detective and he confirmed that the prosecutor accepted the plea deal without talking to me. He said it was bull$hit and that he didn't feel comfortable with LS being up for…

Good morning! @shanaber Isn't medicine fascinating! Kudos to your doctor for knowing their stuff and just a "simple" tweak can make such a difference! So happy to hear you are up and moving and getting your chores done LOL. Apple stores are always such a cluster for sure no matter where you go. Ha ha...That machine made me…

Good morning! @shanaber I glad you are moving through chemo somewhat smoothly and getting some breaks to live life. Pismo! That is my hometown! Actually it is Arroyo Grande...but close :smile: I think it is supposed to cool down next week...this week we are allegedly going back up to the 90s for a few days. @shanaber…

Good morning! @shanaber Boo on the PET scan - I am so glad they caught it though and can address it ASAP. Not much going on I reckon'. Things are moving with the property split - yesterday we got conditional approval for the SB-9 permit. Thank god for my project manager who is catching some of their BS. The county has…

Good morning and Happy Monday! @quilteryoyo Grey cat passed away Memorial Day weekend...we just couldn't control the symptoms any longer of his heart failure. Well, life has been a roller coaster for sure! Overall things are going very well. We are happy, healthy and have all we need and/or want. We started feeding the…

Good morning everyone! I told myself I NEEDED to see what everyone was up to! @Shanaber Thank you for all the updates - chemo is such the pits and so ick. How are you doing now? All is well here. Yes I am officially retired now - not on paid vacation. I have been adjusting, I think. August flew by! I really thought that it…

Hi Folks! Sorry I was MIA - I really hate getting on the computer after work LOL. But I am working half days now so I figured I would get back into it. @shanaber So glad you are doing so well! Aren't Doctors the pits sometimes ugh. Don't settle! So what has it been, like a month? Oof. My surgery went well - I had a polyp…

Good morning, everybody! I am still banned from my fitness pal at work lol @swenson19d. How did you find Loki? That is quite a pack you have got going. Growing up we had nine dogs due to unplanned litters. Unfortunately, it was really hard as they developed littermate syndrome and there was just constant fighting. A lot of…

Good morning!!! @shanaber I’m so glad you’re able to get away and just have some “normal “ time. I hope you have a great and relaxing week. @swenson19d I know how you feel with everything fading. I feel that away about mom all the time, I look around and I see less and less of her in my house. I guess it’s the same with…

Hi everybody First and foremost @shanaber I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m grateful that you have a good support system who is helping you navigate through this very stressful and confusing time. For some reason MFP has decided the Air Force net work is highly suspicious. It would not let me log in at work…

Good morning! Here we are again. Tired today, as per the usual. I have my Dr. appt tomorrow...we will see if he recommends any tests. Weekend was busy up at the ranch. The boys (DH and his coworker bromance LOL) got to be all manly and try to get the barn down...it was a solid fight and they only got 1 wall done in 6…

Good morning folks! @swenson19d You are so brave with all the pups! I bet that is a handful! I am glad you have reached out to a lawyer, divorce is such a tactical undertaking. My mom told me that I should always have an account that DH didn't know about and put money it every month no matter how I thought I about the…

@shanaber Yeah it got quiet and and I forgot to log in in the AM. Glad you got your toe fixed. I got my tooth fixed and while it was a 6hr ordeal - I am glad it is done. Now I have another one that randomly started hurting. Kitties are doing well. Got confirmed diagnosis on black cat for pancreatitis. With his blood sugar…

Good morning! @shanaber - Glad your nail procedure was quick and easy. I have terrible fungus (from a shady pedicure 3 years ago) on 1 nail and I have been hesitant to get it fixed (aka take the nail off). I just file it down as thin and short as I can and put tea tree oil on it every night. It isn't getting better- but…

Good morning folks! I was so confused again what day it was, I thought for sure I had gone to work yesterday... in a sense I did, just different work LOL. The weekend was full of highs and lows. The lows: The CalFire is a bunch of divas who think the world revolves around their mission. I get it, they are trying to save…

@swenson19d Sorry about the diagnosis, heart issues are something I am very familiar with. But I know the Vets can be a bit doom and gloom on initial diagnosis. If you can, I would connect with a veterinary cardiologist. Their hearts are so resilient and there are so many medications that can extend their lives...but it is…

Good morning! Another week and another day down...I lost interest in coloring in my countdown calendar, I think I am in the low 90's now. Not a lot to report. The weekend was pretty quiet. DH and I went up to the ranch and checked on everyone. It rained a lot up there and we had 1 small pine go down. It was so pretty…
