...And Miles to go Before I Sleep!


We returned from Texas last night. At least my body did. The rest of me is still MIA. I feel as if I am going through the motions today: get up, make coffee, check email, shower, laundry, cleaning, errands, and on and on. Is there such a term as "car lag?"

This trip was a great opportunity to reconnect with not only The Hubster's relatives, but also with our daughters and their boyfriends. We had lots of time together on the long car ride to talk about life, relationships and funny memories. We remembered how their Uncle David chased Sarah, Rachel and cousin Danielle through Granny's house with a camcorder, the girls shrieking with laughter the whole way. They spent a lot of time visiting with their cousins and catching up on their lives. Seems like yesterday that they were playing together.

Exercise update: Three workouts last week, four days of calisthenics with hand weights. Oh, and on Saturday we walked all over a huge flea market in Cut-and-Shoot, Texas!!! (Bet you've never been there!)

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
