Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / July 2005I've just realised ...
... why it's so quite round here ... Mary >why it's so quite round here ... >Mary Why?? Is this vacation season in the UK? In the US we prefer to stay stressed out and avoid vacations. But there are people posting today, Mary. Haven't you noticed? Kay and I are here and now so are you. Kay's post about her bone scan was so scary, I ran and cancelled the one I had set for this Thursday. I go to one of those Diagnostic places where they love to see all sorts of shadows and make you return for more tests. I am not going through what they put Kay through! Anyway, my Onc did not say I had to have it. My bored Orthopedic doc decided he would like to see a scan of my bones. He can just wait until I kick off and I'll will him my corpse! Only joking! (I think.) Have a nice day just don't go on a vacation. Bea > >why it's so quite round here ... > >>Mary > > Why?? Is this vacation season in the UK? No - but it might be for some across the pond:-) > In the US we prefer to stay > stressed out and avoid vacations. But there are people posting today, > Mary. Haven't you noticed? Kay and I are here and now so are you. Two of ... how many others? I don't count, being a boring old Englishwoman! > Kay's post about her bone scan was so scary, I ran and cancelled the one > I had set for this Thursday. Oh, that's a shame. It could be likened to not going to any doctor because you've been warned off in someone else's posts ... scans are very useful tools. > I go to one of those Diagnostic places > where they love to see all sorts of shadows and make you return for more > tests.

I've had to charge on the wax melter - customers suddenly want candles. In July!!! There's nowt so queer as folks! But we don't have holidays - vacations. Life is one Big Holiday for theFishers :-) Mary > Bea Hi Mary, I'm here too! I'm the boring old American! Barb > Hi Mary, > I'm here too! I'm the boring old American! American yes. Boring? Never. Mary > Barb >... why it's so quite round here ... > >Mary Because I spent the day cleaning my kitchen and entry instead of posting?

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Mary Now I'm sitting in the last room I need to clean before I start the basement. This is my bedroom, den, book and DVD room. Sigh. Why didn't I start with this room? Books everywhere, hundreds of them, clothes piled up, papers everywhere. I think I'll have some Breyer's lo-carb chocolate ice cream to cheer myself up. And then maybe I'll water the garden. By then maybe it will be too late to clean anything. I've given myself a week to bulldoze out this room and paint my kitchen cupboards and walls. Or else.

Best of luck :-) Mary > Or else. > > Marilyn Hi Marilyn, I put off real cleaning all during the school year and then have no excuse not to do it when I'm on break from school. Well, this year I've goofed off for almost a month and haven't tackled a thing.....Going on vacation to Charleston, South Carolina tomorrow and will be gone for 12 days......When I get home, I'll HAVE to get busy. Actually, I have tackled one thing.......The only bedroom to get cleaned here got cleaned last weekend when my son's beagle gave birth to 10 puppies on my guest room bed! This whole whelping thing was new to all of us and we didn't read her "signals" very well. By the time we located her the birthing had begun!! We now call the mom, Queen Lucy of the Battenburg Lace Pillow Sham ;-) The pups are adorable and everything cleaned up beautifully. Marilyn, you've been my inspiration (after I get done vacationing)!

I'm even inspiring myself lately. I live next door to a Beagle named Spencer. Very cute, but can't be trusted off the leash. Their other dog is a dalmation, who needs to be in therapy. He has to be sedated to go to the vet. They were both rescue dogs so I'm sure their puppyhoods weren't too pleasant. Marilyn Would you like to have a beagle puppy, or two, or three? Barb > Thank you. I'm even inspiring myself lately. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Marilyn >Because I spent the day cleaning my kitchen > and entry instead of posting? >Marilyn Marilyn, what are you doing with all that house cleaning? That's "Man's" work! Didn't we have a Civil War or something to free women from housecleaning? Well, in my house we have a War if "I" am expected to do it all alone. Women have babies and men cook and clean. I think it's one of the great doctrines. You gals are setting womenkind back 200 years with your housecleaning!<g Bea > >Because I spent the day cleaning my kitchen >> and entry instead of posting? [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > from housecleaning? Well, in my house we have a War if "I" am expected > to do it all alone. Women have babies and men cook and clean. NONONONO! I cook. I like cooking. I LOVE cooking. I do it better than him. He's no more than adequate. He does a lot of the cleaning and all the techie stuff (why keep a dog and bark yourself?) It's only the Fr*nch who have men to cook. I think > it's one of the great doctrines. You gals are setting womenkind back > 200 years with your housecleaning!<g Well I'm not going to eat pizza every day to prove a feminist point. Pah. :-) Mary > Bea >>Because I spent the day cleaning my kitchen >> and entry instead of posting? [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Bea Well, I live alone, so if I don't do it nobody else will. <g> And I can't really blame anyone else for the piles of books and papers. Yesterday I emptied a bookcase and two smallish tables of all their books and papers, cleaned everything, vacuumed my bed and mattress, damp mopped that area of the hard wood floor and put the furniture back. I had so many things in the bookcase that weren't books (greeting cards, maps, etc) that when I put only the books back I found I have an extra shelf. This is my "comfort reading" bookcase. Jane Austen, LM Montgomery, Mary Stewart, Josephine Tey, Daddy-Long-Legs, Louisa Alcott, Harry Potter, Dodie Smith. Plus a couple of books I read when I just can't go to sleep. Fowler's "Modern Engish Usage" and Wilson's "What Happened in Hamlet" or a good sonnet usually put me to sleep within a page. Now I'm trying to decide whether to clean out the piles of books and paper I moved to the living room floor yesterday, or clean my computer area and big work table, which will add much more stuff to the living room floor. What to do, what to do? Marilyn RIP Christopher Fry. "What, after all, is a halo? It's only one more thing to keep clean." Christopher Fry > Well, I live alone, so if I don't do it nobody else will. But no-one else will see it so it doesn't matter! > <g> And I > can't really blame anyone else for the piles of books and papers. Well, yes, that's the downside, I admit... > Yesterday I emptied a bookcase and two smallish tables of all their > books and papers, cleaned everything, vacuumed my bed and mattress, > damp mopped that area of the hard wood floor and put the furniture > back. I need to have a little lie down after reading that. > I had so many things in the bookcase that weren't books (greeting > cards, maps, etc) that when I put only the books back I found I have > an extra shelf.

Have another ice-cream. The stuff will still be there when you've finished. In fact have another, you'll have double inspiration. And have one for me.
