Good afternoon, Christmas friends. I now have two weeks off chemo. Hopefully my energy level will rise later on, probably by Saturday. Is tonight's dinner at the Pines calamari or CARLamari? Either way, I'll be there. TTYL!

Thinking of you, Seawaters. Hope your energy level is starting to improve.

Good one!

Did not even think to check it until I noticed the puddle on the carpet! So out came the towels to soak it all up, hopefully the rain changes direction and it does not get worse.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thinking of you both. Stay safe!

SECOND TRAVEL ALERT for the year.
The Crowns will be taking their final trip to the coast prior to the commencement of the rental season tomorrow afternoon and a countdown volunteer will be needed for Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Any takers?
First come - first selected.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone!

Have a fun and safe trip, Crown!

I had a nice long talk with them last night when they came through here. So they shouldn't give you any trouble.

Lol, they just said on the news that we have a new airline here in town that offers non stop flights to Myrtle Beach. Maybe that's a sign that you should be taking me along!!!cheesy

A quick good morning and then I am off to rest and nap. The day after the Neulasta shot are really UNCOMFORTABLE, to say the least! Relay for Life is this weekend. I am going to TRY to do the Survivors' Lap. I am not sure how long I will last since I just finished a round of chemo. Last year, our small town (about 6,000 people) raised $61,000. That's not too bad! I hope to TTYL.

Have fun this weekend. You truly are a hero, Seawaters.

That is awesome how much your town raised last year. Hope they can top it this year!

I'm sorry your air conditioner area is leaking. My roof has a few leaks - can be quite the mess at times! It has been raining since late last night here with more of the same tomorrow. We need the rain, though! The seasonal creek dried up last week - this ought to keep it full for a few months.

I am really not enjoying what I call a job anymore. I feel used and unappreciated. I keeping getting asked to do extra and then do not get paid for it.(I was told it was expected because it is the nice thing to do) There is an excellent conference coming up for caregivers, my boss asks the therapist to go (she could not) but for some reason she does not think I am good enough to go. Makes me wonder why I do what I do.
I was kept so busy I now have to miss the volunteer BBQ where I was to be presented with my 15 year pin and certificate.

OK, I whined enough, thanks for listening.

Thank you His job is sounding better and better, he has a pension, benefits & paid vacation.. they also told him because of all the older workers there wanting to retire he should be at the top senior position within the next ten years.. and will definitely be full time within the next 2!! Thank the heavens. after 6 months of working there, his wage goes up 2$ every three months!! until he maxes out for his current position.. Finally things are looking up. This last year has been rather difficult for the both of us financially and work related. Definitely had some trying times... Also learnt alot! We had faith & stuck it out, because when you hit rock bottom the only way is up.. And finally we're being blessed with the "up" portion of it all!!!

Yes Congrats coach!!! I just Finished Shaun t's Insanity program.. lost 15.6 lbs and 28 inches all around my body!! Today i started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, cuz needless to say i am sick of insanity.. Its a great workout but it's BRUTAL. Figured I needed something a little less harsh on the body hahaha..

That is awesome about your boyfriend's job. It sounds like he really has everything in line. Good for him and you!

Great job on the weight loss as well! I still have 6 lbs. to lose from my pregnancy with DS and the last couple pounds seem always so hard to lose. Good luck with your goal!

I'm sorry to hear that, CS. They are taking advantage of you, and that is so unfair. Have you tried talking to them about how you feel? I know it can be very difficult..It shouldn't be that the hard-working, honest people are [sometimes] the ones who get overlooked. Really makes no sense.
Good luck to you, I hope you can find something that will make you much happier!
