14 Who was your very first best friend? Are you still in contact or communication with them?I had a few friends in elementary school though I barely remember them now - maybe they weren't best friends - just school friends. Living out in the country I only had the chance to be close to the next door neighbors. They used to live in the house that we ( Read more... )

Today was a check up with my cancer doctor and my radiation doctor. The radiation doctor doesn't need to see me anymore - yay. One more phase of the breast cancer from 2017 is over. Last week I saw my heart doctor (who I had been seeing because of the afib that started in 2017 after I started radiation - I think they were connected)) and she also ( Read more... )

Just a quick hello to say that Dave is home now. Doing well. After we got home this afternoon I fell asleep for a huge nap and I just woke up. We are sitting now doing our evening watching of netflix. Tonight it's Gunsmoke. All is right with the world. :-)

It feels like I have had a very long day. Up as usual at 5 to take Jules to work at 6 but Dave and I were up in the night for many hours before that too. He has been having heart palpitations a lot lately - 4 times in the last week and a half and the episodes have been lasting more than a few hours at a time. He went to the emergency room during ( Read more... )
