It's been eight days!!

I can't believe it's been eight days since I received my diagnosis.

I feel good &  have been keeping busy. Yesterday during our

errand running, I did get a scrapbook . Tis PINK!! I want to 

keep track of my journey, with thoughts , pictures & momentos.

I've gotten some greeting cards in the mail...they so cheer one up

just to know someone thinks to send a card.  

I got some great Brighton earrings too, 

here they are

I painted more shutters today, worked on a new website & moved

the guest bed into Mercedes old room.  She's my youngest & moved out

in July. Now it doesn't look so empty , but I still have the empty nest, (it's

in my heart) I've been a mom with kids for 35 years & this is quite an

adjustment.  I am glad my kids are grown and on their own, I can't imagine

how hard it would be to be a young mom struggling with breast cancer.

Hubby went out on his motorcycle today ..I hadn't realized how much he'd

been staying at home to be with me until he was gone today.  I'm glad he

felt comfortable enough to leave me at home .  

I have a new internet friend, Mollye, she's been emailing me daily

& she's just so sweet. Her emails bring me a ray of sunshine. I find

it amazing how God puts people in your life JUST when you need them.

Sometimes they need you, sometimes you need them, but God always knows.

We "fell back" this weekend & I am so tired I going to get my PINK jammies

on & grab my body pillow..snuggle under to comforter & read a bit of my

book "Mercy" before I fall asleep.

I'm hoping for a peaceful night with no night fears or bad dreams.

night all, Deena

PS..I forgot, I took a picture of "Sugar" today..my

horse friend down the lane. He wouldn't come see me

today like last Sunday, but he did look when I called for him

LOOK what the PRINCESS got!!

I had a GOD moment today...tis NOT all about ME

Cancer hits millions of women & men.

I know I'll be fine, no matter what ..at the end of this journey.

God is with me in all ways, including my internet 

friends..and BLOG visitors..thank you for taking the time

to comment and/or email me.

YEP..it's me ..Hubby came home yesterday with a present

and it was this GREAT body pillow..I slept so good last night..

now hubby is afraid he's been replaced..LOL , no way!!!! He's

much better to cuddle with.  No night fears last night which was

GREAT..

The grandsons were here last night 

and I thought they were going to take my pillow HOME!!

Today we went to lunch, ran errands, and enjoyed each other.

We talked , but just about how ..if I lose my hair..he'll shave his

AND mine!!

teehee.  

My daily routine is ...LOL routine still.  Not much has changed there

except I am trying to be good to myself ..and to take time to enjoy

God's gift of nature more..(that's easy ..I live in such a wonderful place

of nature)

I still LOVE my hair. (which my daughter recently.cut, colored and highlighted) but the picture above..isn't a good pic of me..considering

my grandson Caleb who is 4 years old took the pic..he did good!!

woohoo

Random Thoughts

Ok, here's some things I've been thinking.

I am not looking forward to:

Getting surgery

Being ill

Losing my hair

BUT

I may lose weight

My hair might grow back curly

I might stay slim

I'll learn to live healthier

&

be closer to my family..

I must say my hubby is treating

me like a princess. I LOVE that..

I'd say queen, but I don't feel that

old and he doesn't make me feel

as stuffy and regal as a queen

Just sweet and bubbly like a princess

I'm lonely today, wish I had someone to chat with, 

just chat about stuff..

I think I'll go work on a new website that I'm

helping out with..not mine, not for me,

but it will rock..tis

www.creativecallstudios.com

The grandboys might come over tonight ..that'll keep

me busy & make me CRAZY, but I'll get lots 

of cuddling and I love you's ...tis GOOD

Finally a date with my surgeon

First I want to share a picture...

This is my sweet dog Hannah..she's a smooth collie, the smooth and rough collies (ones with long hair) come out of the same litter. She's 12 years old, the best dog in the world

and my baby!! We have a fat kitty too..I'll share her later..

Tis official..Rich & I will be going to see Dr. Mammolito ONE week from today.

We'll have a nice chat & the surgery date will be set.  I started reading my "Pink Book"

last night.  I think this BLOG is healthy for me & I hope it will help others. 

Hubby got a book in the mail today "Helping Your Mate Face Breast Cancer"

I must say he's mostly a great husband, but he's been even better lately, if that

is possible.. Kelly, sent the book for him when I told her he was in denial.

I got The Primitive Gathering updated last eve..then read a bit of the book

I've been reading for a couple of weeks. "Mercy" ..tis the story of

a man who killed his wife..she asked him to because she was tired of 

fighting breast cancer.  I began this book before I knew ..but it's lots

of stories around the story..and it's a good read by Jodi Picoult.

I stayed up later than usual..but the night fears got me about 4.30 AM. 

I woke hubby up, and we talked for a half hour, then I got up to make coffee

and start the day.

I wathched a movie "Zodiac" it was very well done. Then I took a teeny nap

& painted some shutters.  

Tonight is quiet, I am still waiting to talk to my

youngest daughter..I hope we talk soon.  

Thank you to all of

you who have emailed, called, sent snail mail, and left comments..

Friends are so important and I love my internet friends too!!

They make me SMILE!! 

fondly, Deena

Trick or Treat ?? Or Ding Dong Ditch?

These were the only two tricksters I got. They played Ding Dong Ditch too (that's what they call ringing the doorbell then hiding

I was so happy to get hugs & kisses from them, and Cole even 

"broke me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar"

Caleb the lil guy, shared his Skittles.
