Wednesday Night This and That
* I actually went to the store today. Sam’s Club AND the grocery store!! This is big! I’ve been sick for over two weeks now. My voice is still gone, but I really think I am getting better.
* Starr says that I keep saying that I’m getting better, but from her perspective it sounds just like hope. “I hope I’m getting better!”
* I’ve had this song in my head for the last four days. I’m not singing it, but it is playing in the background of my day-to-day. When I wake up, when I do the dishes, when brushing my teeth. It doesn’t make much sense…
mp3: “Technicolor” – Nurses
Buy: Apple’s Acre

* Helping Starr and Skye with the 5k has stirred up the pain of losing Sunny. I feel like I am on the verge of tears constantly. Succumbing often. Despite my weepiness, we are excited for the race…but are we ready?! I keep thinking of things we need to remember. It might help if I started writing things down!
* I love the smell of freshly laundered sheets and briefly considered washing them every day this afternoon. That’s not very green of me is it? Green or not, I am just too lazy for that!
* My parents spent the night here last night on their way home from California. Dad is done with the proton bombardment of his prostate cancer, they have been in California since May. I asked when they will scan him to see if the treatment worked. The answer was “they aren’t”, in 3 months he will get blood work done to check his PSA levels. Until then they are just assuming that this has fixed things. I am not sure I like that attitude.
* I randomly thought of this photo earlier tonight. Starr and Sunny were bored…they talked poor Tony into coming over. He didn’t have a chance! It’s a good thing that he was a good sport. They all made lasting memories that night!! I just wish I could find a better photo:
Starr, Tony and Sunny
* I looked at the calendar three times while creating this post to make sure that today was really Wednesday. Yes, I’ve been that disconnected!
i have a photo very close to this. only i was in a sexy little black number, and i was standing next to a woman dressed as a lamb. it was a halloween shot from my second or third year in college. i will see if i can find it….
I want to see it! Please share!
i have contacted the lamb, and she has the pic. i hope it won’t end up on facebook, instead of coming to me!!! i might have started a bad chain of events….
Sweet! I hope to see it soon, if not here…on Facebook!! …where I can steal it and then post it here!!
Two weeks? That’s terrible. So sorry that you’ve been sick that long.
Take care of yourself.
Thanks! I hope that I am seeing the light at the end of THIS tunnel!! I didn’t expect this..
Well, Kelly, I finally figured out how to drop you into my Google homepage so MAYBE? I’ll get your updates. I miss way too much here. I put you in my favorites but it wouldn’t notify me. I think I’m square now. Business aside…..
I’m so glad you’re feeling better and I’m sorry this is bringing up so much emotion for you. Through it all, you’re dropping in at my place and encouraging me. I know you understand and I know it’s got to be SO hard for you, too. I just don’t know how to do this. So there’s no plan to follow. We just muddle through and try to take the Hypocratic oath to, “Do No Harm!”
If I can achieve that it’ll be a bloody miracle.
Hope the 5k goes well and good for the girls for all they’re doing. What beauties they are.
Thanks for the well wishes for the 5k event!
I hope that the updating issue has been resolved, I don’t know how to help you if it hasn’t…yet…I am never willing to give up!!
You are right, there is no plan. You just have to take it as it comes…trust me, I get what you are going through. Makes me weepy just thinking about it, and I’m not even Bo’s mom!! Big hugs! Muddling along with you….
I think my son appears in some photos much like that one–I seem to remember a pink boa.
I’m glad you’re bouncing back. See you Friday!
I would love to see those pics!
I am looking forward to seeing you!! Have a safe journey!
I am glad you are feeling better. Grocery shopping after not feeling well is a big step. I always felt so “helpless” when I didn’t feel well and we needed groceries, and I had no one to go for me! Luckily those times were far between!
I am sorry you are having a difficult emotional time right now. Hugs!
The picture is a hoot!
It is a different ball of fish when you are single and sick! Starr was attentive, but she really didn’t understand all that was needed to keep things going around here.
She has been really stressed with the 5k, school and the beginning of the year activities at her sorority…so I didn’t push. I enjoyed having her around to watch “Big Brother”, “Top Chef” and “Drop Dead Diva” with!
keep hoping and trying to feel better… i think you need some major cheering up!! btw- my grandfather was in the same boat your father is in (and this was like 10 years ago) the docs did the same thing and he has NOT had any trouble whatsoever since then…
Thanks Randi!! And thanks for the encouragement re your grandfather, that helps. I know that this treatment is good and that my dad’s cancer was caught really early, but I kind of wanted a verification that things were cool.
