Well, I'm trying this once again.

Getting back into the grove of reconnecting with some of my favorite blogger friends. Be patient with me as my blogging skills are a wee bit rusty.

      I'm here and can't figure a damn thing out. But I will.....my crusty rusty brain will get this thing up and running.

Off with the Mander for another 2nd opinion

Yesterday my niece Sally (I call her Sal E. Mander) arrived in town. We are heading up to UCSD today for another treatment option. We had a long talk last night over dinner when I asked her if she was anxious or excited about her upcoming appointment. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she just sat that for a moment not able to say anything. She said she did have 1 consultation already last week with the University of Minnesota's Oncology Clinic. They told her that there wasn't anything more they could do for her than what was being done or had been done in St. Paul at her current clinic. She said it's hard living with an incurable disease. I can't even imagine. Right now all they can do is keep it at "bay" until it progresses. Next week she goes to MD Anderson, the following week she and her husband will go to Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York. The 26th she's having her takedown surgery (removal of her colostomy bag). Then she'll head to Mayo Clinic ...

Happy Birthday Pooh Bear

Today is your birthday and it kills me that I can't call you and sing to you in my horrific tone deaf voice, or find a song a play it on your voice mail that you really hate. Instead, I will look to the skies, know that you're probably having the best birthday ever. There are days that I know I am really healing from the inside out, then today happens and the pain is just a raw as it was close to 6 months ago. I know that I have to go on living for you, but I need to go on living for myself. And I know I would expect the same of you or any one else if the situation was different. I love you little bro, and I miss you terribly. Your big sis, Jillie

It's Friday! The weekend is here.

It's Friday and the weekend is here! Not that it matters since I am no longer working full time. BUT....football season has started. One of my favorite times of the year. I can banter with my family that are (GAG) Bears, Cowboys and Vikings fans. I swear they must have been switched at birth or dropped on their head. But anywhooo....it's all good.  Going to dinner tonight with some friends to one of my most FAVORITE places, outside of Italy for some great Italian food. Bencotto's in Little Italy. I'd starve myself all day if I could so I could pig out but I'm afraid my stomach would shrink and I wouldn't be able to eat as much. But that's ok, because their food makes for a great leftover meal.   Other than that, I'm going to make the most of my day because it's a good day to be alive. Peace and love 💟💟💟
