Thanks Judy...you are so sweet!

Still fighting these silly headaches!
I have some other things going on and they keep taking my blood!
Like this last time....she said, "Oh, sorry...you are going to have a bruise."
I just keep thinking...Where is my Judy? She wouldn't bruise me!
Ah...If I learn anything...I will let you know!

Good luck this week Judy. I hope all goes as well as it can.

You'll do great this week, dear Judy! No fear, we're here!


Things are quiet in these here parts. Weight is in the right zone and I have been obeying my own rules.

The sun has been kicking my butt more than ever this year. It's so not fair, I'm weak enough, dangit!

Now that Jack seems to have landed at a pretty stable zone, I can get out some and not be paranoid the whole time. This means that I can finally have the jungle atop my head pruned back. It's a 4-hour friend date every time I go to have my cut/color session so that's something to look forward to.

I had left my slate totally clear for Sept. in anticipation of being occupied otherwise and now I have a blank calendar staring up at me! What to do??? I suppose this is a sign to get rid of more unused junk and clothing. Where's Bewitched when I need her?

thanks sox. good to hear from you. what's going on in your neck of the woods?
how are YOU?

thanks taff. i hope you're ok and sending headache vibes to you.

cin, glad things are more stable. except for the radiation my calendar looks pretty sparse too. i cleared a lot of stuff away in july. from what i hear i'm going to be pretty tired. we'll see.

today is an in day. relaxing and starting to go thru my clothes to make the switch to fall. ever so slightly as it can be hot in sept or we can get snow. go figure. colorado.

have nothing to do tomorrow either. wed is the simulation. it sounds like i'm going to outer space or something. anyone else been thru radiation? tips?

Yeah, I've been through tips. Had to do it for a wedding. The worst part was when they started peeling but I couldn't just pop them off. DM does gets new claws all the time too.

Hi Judy! Your making me feel the need to go through my closet again. I need some new clothes but have to be a good girl and not spend right now after I bought the new beds. We bought the SAT (Self Adjusting Technology) mattresses with the adjustable base. They are cheaper than the Sleep Number bed and feel so good! I bit the bullet since the VA keeps giving Jim camping mattresses. I even called and suggested they consider them for vets but I was welcomed about as much as a limp noodle. They costs too much I guess.

Jim is having yet another UTI. If the antibiotics don't work or he gets sick from them he has to go into the hospital. This time he has two bugs, ecoli and enterococcus which are only sensitive to Macrobid this time. If you remember last time Jim took this med he was deathly ill. Well, for some reason, this time he's fine. I think God is watching over him and letting him stay where he's comfortable, at home, for now.

I will be thinking of you Judy as you start your radiation. Don't be scared or nervous. My mom and grandma did radiation and were fine during and after. My grandma used to tease that she looked like someone whooped her with an exposed wire on her chest. She was always joking about things even though I know she was scared. My mom on the other hand never talked about it. She just went and had it done and acted like nothing happened. I think she was just grateful it wasn't chemo.

Judy!

*taking funny looking cigarette from AMN*

What are you talking about?? Have you been in the sauce again? haha

Hey Judy dear~ As everyone said, we are here for you. Lots of rest and just let us know how your'e doing when you can. Keeping you in my prayers, dear friend.

How are you this day, dear Judy?

Okay in MI but we're headed for a scorcher so it will be a quick trip to the store (LMAO: "quick") and then an inny all the way.

I didn't know you had an "inny" AMN???~~~??? Always considered you to have an ''outtie" hahahahahaha (too early in the day to be this freakin funnnnnnnny) hahahhahaha

Supposed to be HOT here, too!

Hey Judy wudy? How's our star pupil today??

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEET! *just for ole time's sake*

Thinking of ya and sending lots of

sandy, i'm really sorry to hear about jim's infection.
i hope he tolerates the med and gets well soon.
the bed sounds great. i'm glad i spent the $$$ on my tempurpedic. didn't even need to break it in. just went to sleep.

thanks guys.
i actually slept good last nite.
walked first thing this am.
darn weight is stable. i'd like to drop 5#.

i got a lot accomplished yesterday in my closet. now have to start on my drawers. my aim is to just have at hand what fits and suits the season. it hurts me to put away some clothes as i've gained weight. but...

the weather is great here right now. 60 today, 70 tomorrow.

i'm very grateful that my cancer was caught so early and that i don't need chemo. i'm expecting the radiation to go fine. still trying to decide on a time of day that will work for me. i'll see what they have available.
