Really, I cannot stand one more day of dreary rain here. I am looking forward to Thurs, Fri and Sat- we should have sun.

For my praying/good thoughts friends, if you could send some thoughts to my client, Maureen. She has MS and breast cancer. Now they found a spot on her femur and she is going in for more testing. Just unbelievable.

As for me, another day in Paradise. Ha.
:D

I really really wish that they could find a cure for cancer. And Lyme.
I want the sun to shine at least a little bit today.
I want to have a whole pot of coffeeeee!!!

xoxo
 
i think I blabbered on to most of you yesterday already, but here are a few personals didn't get too.

Eva- what knitting project are you working on now?
Good luck today with the decluttering.
Tee-hee- I thought so- that you would be (stubborn) like your dad. :kiss: I am not really like my mom or my dad. I actually think and act more like my mom's younger sister who lives in VA. I rarely saw her growing up, but my mom always tells me that I sound/act/think just like her.

Kristy- glad that she is helping to pay for gas. And no, I would not cancel plans at all. You are being so accommodating as it is. Good luck with the pool- did it all work out ok? Hope so!

morning all- it is WOW wednesday in my book today- several reasons, first off, because I have tomorrow off and for the first time in a long time, I do not feel like I need it. Second because the day started with sunshine so Chris it is on your way. Speaking of being like a family member- my sister, Jill and I both have similar handwriting- nearly identical, except she is much older than me and for most of my time I remember, was already out of the house when I was growing up- I was in the second wave of the 12 kids. How strange is that. I don't have her personality though. Chris will pray for Maureen.
 
we've got the gray skies, too, Chris. i'm not minding it too much, for some reason. plus, if it's raining, i don't have to go outside with my hatchet and do about 100 yds. of EDGING around the flower beds.... hope your client is going to be OK. she must wonder what she's done to deserve all this. my friend with the uterine cancer had her doctor visit yesterday, where she learned the full extent of what she's facing and what her treatment will be. she was expecting the worst. i don't expect to hear anything from her until she's ready to talk about it. honestly. it really puts all our little troubles (and even some of our BIG problems) into perspective, doesn't it?

gotta drive to Greensburg again today to pick up my new DVDs. the lovely little TechnoGirl figured out how to convert my weird VCD files into playable DVDs. when i go through all this, i often wonder whether my kids will appreciate having this stuff when i'm gone. well. the daughter won't. that much is certain.

Maureen, which part of Italy do you guys like?

Laurie, good advice:
your attitude is your altitude and it's corollary - fake it til you make it!

Kristy, hope you slept better last night. for some reason i actually got about 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. that almost NEVER happens. what's with women and sleep? almost everyone i know is not sleeping well. hormones? LACK of hormones?

OK. off to the shower, then the PA Turnpike.

Happy Wednesday! do what you love.

Hi Peeps!

Same overcast rainy weather here too but as long as it's not a downpour, I'm ok. It's almost time to deal with the suitcase 'culling of the clothes'. I pack what I want and then before leaving I take out 1/3 to half. I've rarely regretted it!

Yesterday, Dick announced he had a sore throat…ugh..and is off to the Dr. He is not in a good mood - even tho this trip was his idea! - so down on the bottom of your prayer list, please add him.

Chris, my grated today is that I'm not that Maureen. Wow, that sure sounds like a lot of palliative care ahead. I personally would not go for the full aggressive with so many issues. That's just me. btw, that's also me up over the skies of Newark this afternoon! :plane:

Laurie, it's a great feeling when you don't mind going into work or neeeeeding that day off, isn't it! Sounds like your HH time was the ticket to relaxation.

Phylis, safe drive to you! who cares if anyone else appreciates what you're doing. Just like scrapping, we do it for US. What part of Italy do we like? I can't say I've found any I didn't like. We've been to Orvieto 3 times, Florence, Venice and Rome once each and also Lake Orta once. I've been to a lot of other places in Italy but that was in a former marriage! when I was a wisp of a 20sumthin'. btw, what we like to do best is rent an apartment for a week, mostly through VRBO. I learned this from blogger Mary Ann Moss. Having space and a kitchen makes the man who wants his coffee before 6am happy! This time will be Lake Orta again and Genoa, bookended with Milan.

Gotta run, because I need to get my 'to do's' done and have a bit of chill time before we start the process of leaving. Have a great Wednesday!
 
Morning ladies... Ugh!! Not a good news morning for sure for most of us here this morning, me included. We got the dreaded phone call Monday just as I was headed to work that our sweet BIL Mike had passed on. So into work for a couple of hrs to finish up a few things and then off to Naniamo to get MG's sister and take her home. Tried to be of some comfort to her, but she is a wreck!! Poor Linda, we are not sure what she will do without her Mike?? He was a wonderful man, and loved her so much! He even purchased a brand new vehicle for her two weeks ago, fully paid for so she would have a safe new mode of transportation. He always thought of her and made sure she was always taken care of. :sad: So we have spent the last couple of days helping her make arrangements, getting emails sent, answering the phone and making sure there is food in house and plenty of wine!! She is now spending a couple of days with her BFF, a much needed break from the family I am sure!! Hubby has the sad job of doing the Eulogy and the service will be on Saturday. :hurt: I hate Cancer!!!!!

Chris - Sunshine here today, so I will send some your way. ITA on the cure for Cancer, why oh why is there no cure yet??

Eva - How did the de-cluttering go? Wish I could go back to a lazy life again, oh well perhaps soon?

Laurie - Hope your day goes well and glad that you don't feel worn out and need the day off tomorrow, but hooray for days off!!

Phylis - Hooray for 7 hrs of sleep!! Wish I could have gotten that last night!! Hubby and are were up at 5am, too much on our minds right now.

Maureen - Please take me with you!! I could really use a nice vacation right now!! Hope you have a wonderful trip and that your MG's throat feels better soon!!

Well gotta hit the shower and try to make it through this work day, I think I might crash and burn before the day is over! I need more sleep :sleep:!!!!

Please add my poor SIL to your prayer list! Pray she gets the strength she needs to get through this sad time!! :wave:
