Here with my startin fluid as well.

Purps, I never followed the Twilight stuff, but glad you are happy!

Sam, I think you’ve made a good choice - you’re a smart lady.

Bobbie, yes I stole that line anyway - as Suze noted. I try and do it justice.

Morning BBG!!

I didn't say stole....

Actually, funny story.....years ago there was a member here who stole my signature....I only had one line in those days, and she decided she liked it and adopted it as her own. I was not a happy camper. So I added the second line.

Working an afternoon shift today which feels weird. But I’m covering our Front Desk so that I don’t have to go to our work Christmas Party. Lol. Better safe than sorry right? Day 5 and I’m doing all that I can to preserve my sobriety.

Well keeping it short. Hope you’re all doing well!! ❤️
Very very smart move love.

One thing though....does your office know that it is actually January 5?

❤️

They do Suze. Lol. But in hospitality it’s Christmas party season all December so we are too busy! Sadly there’s always a story of someone drinking too much and doing something foolish. Ah well...certainly won’t be me.

It's been a reasonably productive morning here, but I am tired. I had trouble getting to sleep last night and was up until about 2:00am. Some chill time is in order, but I hope to get some energy going soon - it's supposed to rain later, and I'd like to get out for a bit.

Football later

Stupid dreams- someone definitely needs to do something about stuff.

Nightmares......so not fun....all the pain comes out.
Do NOT eat for a few hours before bed is the best way I know to help when emotions are very high. ♥♥

Wow, Caramel speaking Italian for roll call. Extra credit points for that!

Had my bone scan yesterday. Avoiding psycho nurse on Monday but I have an appointment with the radiation oncologist on Tuesday morning to review results. This past two weeks have been excruciatingly slow.

I did get a 30 second peek at the scan and all i saw were plain old white bones not riddled with black spots. And when I joked with the tech guy that those bones looked osteopath-terrific, he said “yeah this must be your baseline. You haven’t had a bone scan before, right? Yeah this is the baseline scan they’ll use to compare any future scans.”

Ok to me....this means he thought it looked like a normal scan. Me = Pollyanna. Back still hurts though so I’m still freaking out.

I NEED to get busy. All my Christmas stuff is still up, which I think might be breaking some sort of laws.

Nightmares are so terrible because our own mind knows how best to frighten us. It goes for the jugular.

No chili before bedtime!

I find having the holidays behind me kind of quiets FOO pain in my own mind. Holidays trigger bad family memories for me. So let’s give a huge welcome to January!!

To those in grief for your friend, I offer love and cyber hugs. I have no worthy words but to say I’m sending prayers.

It makes me happy to hear you had the same reaction to the baseline comment Suze! So did my husband the scientist.

Im hoping the back ache is because if the chemo drugs and too much sitting. Hopin and prayin...every hour on the hour.

Lill- you are dealing with all this crap with hard earned grace. It sucks, waiting is a horrible companion.
Prayers and support- as ever.
