Saturday update


It was a good day.   Spent time with Maria, Susan (she washed  my hair!), Vida, and Peggy.  Felt good most of the day but now it's night and the pain is intense,  So...
good night all.

Good Morning

Well, it's 3AM and I'm awake. Tried to go back to sleep but so far no luck.  So I decided to post a quick note before trying again.  At least I'm in way less pain than when I went to bed.  That's promising!

Looking forward to the day.  Several friends are coming to visit.  How lucky am I?  Honestly I bet I have the nicest bunch of friends in the world!  Some i've known since elementary  school and others I've known for less time - but it doesn't matter.  All of you mean so much to me.  

Ok - better go.  Getting a bit "sappy" and emotional.  :)  
My intention for today is to have a bright, positive, fun-filled day!

Flair


Here are some cool pins - also known as Amy's Flair.  Not really important but fun to do! Keeps me distracted from some of the pain I'm having.

Quiet day.  Took a nice long nap - miracle! The Ranchita is almost done which means we will have a very cool room to hang out in.  It has a new TV on the wall as well as......... yes.....Apple TV!  Something new for me to learn.  :)

Doctor visit


Saw both of my surgeons this morning and they agreed that I'm doing well.  I was concerned about so much bruising but they said that's normal,  Want me to continue to rest - no walks outside - not even to Urth  Cafe.  :(    Rest and more rest.  Eat well and drink lots of water.  

Will see them both again next week as well as seeing my oncologist.  Busy busy!

Protector of Women


This is a photo of  a holographic figure inside a crystal cube given to me by my aunt Dianne.  (Uncle Eddie gets the photo credit though!) The figure is of Quan Yin( Guan Yin, Kwan Yin), a beloved  protectress known all over Asia.  She is generally regarded by many as the protector of women and the champion and healer of the sick.

She is also seen as a source of unconditional love and compassion. The act, thought and feeling of compassion and love is viewed as Guan Yin.  A merciful, compassionate, loving individual is said to be Guan Yin.  A meditative or contemplative state of peace with oneself and others is seen as Guan Yin.

Very cool.

Time Out


Good morning!  I am taking a break from talking about myself (phew!) and decided to make this a fun day - starting with a fun blog post.  I was roaming around online and found some classic movie quotes.  See if you can name the movie - some are easier than others!  Here we go:

1. May the force be with you.

2. You talking to me?

3.  Here's Johnny!

4. We rob banks.

5. We'll always have Paris.

6. Is it safe?

7. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

8. I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!

9.  There's no crying in baseball!

10.  La-dee-da,  la-dee-da

I guess you want to check your answers huh?  I'll post them later today or tomorrow. Or check out the AFI website and find the answers yourself.  :)

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Hi.  I'm back on my dad's comfy chair again tonight.  I slept pretty well on it last night. Thinking about renting one for a few months.

Had a pretty good day.  Spent time with uncle Eddie and Dianne. 

Not much to report.  Trying to stay positive and in the moment.  Still dealing with lots of pain which brings tears.  Best part though is all of you - my friends and family.  The care and love you give me really touches me. So...thanks!
