Monday....October 12....2009

I promised Dave I would do the blog yesterday, but I was having a low day and didn't want to contaminate my blog with my commiserations, so I waited till today. I don't know what brought on the depression, other than that I wasn't feeling well last evening, and I let it get to me. I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself when I'm down, but I try so hard to stay in the grateful mode where I want to be.

It has been really cold here today, so I am really getting anxious to go to Florida and the sunshine. We did finally connect with a Florida doctor, so that relieves some anxieties since I start my first chemo of the new cycle tomorrow. I so hope and pray that it will be a good drug for me in holding back the growth of the tumors.

We had a home showing Saturday. Some folks from Montana that loved the house and would have made an offer had their home been sold. Same old, same old.

We have some new neighbors that moved in down the street, so I have just baked them some chocolate chip/walnut cookies and want to run them down while they are still warm.

Love and gratitude......Linda

ps...Lil' Sis is out of the hospital...radiation beginning soon...requests for her address....5701 Manzanita Ave #5, Carmichael, CA 95608.....

Linda/Dave...Glad to read that oncologist will work in warm Florida. Depression has also hit here in Alaska and I am also blaming it on the weather. I must point out that we just went to two pre-season ECHL games and it was a great change for my attitude. I just wish that more good stuff was in the winter. Good luck with the new infusion and flights. If you guys need my company in Florida just ask. Love you both...Darron

L, so glad you've found an oncologist in sunny FLA. I know that between that care and the warm sunshine, you'll feel so much better. And I think a few days here and there of feeling down can be expected/forgiven. Besides, cold and grey skies don't help THAT at all. Just know that it will pass. Meanwhile, I'll wrap you in that golden glow of healing love -- let it seep into your bones and ease your muscles. And let your face relax -- you may find that it relaxes into a smile.

hugs,
Susie

Yummmm.... warm chocolate chip cookies!!! I bet those new neighbors loved them. :) Good luck with the infusion, and all your plans to make it down to Florida. We're still hoping that we can meet up when we head down for the Bucs game.

Hugs to both!
