Hi everyone! I am just hanging around and doing bits and pieces ... taking out the garbage, etc. The weather is beautiful here today ... sunny and probably getting up to 22 degrees Celsius ... I'm and indoor girl so I'll just enjoy it through the windows! I am going out for dinner tonight with my Mum and dd's for Mother's Day ... I have no idea what I will eat ... maybe fish! Anyone else celebrating Mother's Day today? What are you doing? This is what I posted on Facebook today ... safety first! Hugs going out to those who need them! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

I absolutely cannot use stairs without a handrail. Iām pretty much the clumsiest person in the world and would suffer greatly without handrails!!
I donāt know what weāll have for dinner tonight. DS is still sleeping so we will figure it out when he gets up. Iāve been cooking in preparation for brunch tomorrow and donāt feel highly motivated to cook dinner.

I've been busy cleaning my bathroom and cabinets. Took everything out of cabinets, cleaned them and put contact paper on the shelving and some wall paper on the back and sides to make them look nicer. I know nobody will see them but it makes me feel good when I open them up and they look so nice. I was also able to get rid of stuff we don't use and some old makeup that I had in there. After I'm done with this I'll just relax and rest for tomorrow when I go to work. I'm hoping it won't be very busy. I have no idea what we are having for dinner yet.
Enjoy your weekend !

āI donāt know whatās for dinnerā seems to be the theme of the day. The 15yo is coming today to spend the weekend with me, and Iām trying to figure out something heāll like. Maybe cheeseburgers. I never make them anymore. Also: I need to let you all know, my colon cancer has metastasized to my lungs. Outlook is more grim than it was before, but they still have some things they can throw at it. Doctor also wants to wait and see if I can qualify for a promising clinical trial. So I have six weeks before treatment starts, either way, and I plan to have some fun in the meantime. ETA I am feeling totally fine. So donāt start worrying about me yet!

Oh, lucyg -- (gentle) hugs to you, that must have been some tough news to hear. Glad that you're feeling well though and I hope they can get you into a clinical trial. Sounds like you've got a medical team working with you. And yes -- I'm also on the bench of "I have no idea what's for dinner"! We finished most of our leftovers yesterday, and I want something new but no idea what and no motivation to cook something. We shall see...

Itās getting up to dinner time here, so I do know what weāre having. There is a big steak on the counter that has a delicious smelling rib on it, ready for the grill. There will also be fried potatoes and a green salad and we will eat outside as the weather is gorgeous. Not much happening here today, just normal Saturday stuff like grocery shopping and football. Next Saturday is the last game day for this season, so weāll have to find anyway to fill our weekend afternoons! leannec - I totally need handrails. I am a bit better since my knee surgeries, but still donāt like to take a risk if itās more than half a dozen steps. lucyg - I am keeping you in my thoughts. I hope your doctor can find a treatment that helps you. Hugggs

lucyg I won't worry but I'm keeping you in my prayers. Hugs Just arrived at the airport and we're waiting with our fellow travelers for our flight. Dinner will probably at the Seattle Airport and whatever Delta feeds us. No memes until I return.

lucyg ā¤ļø Did anyone see the Northern Lights last night? We were standing out in the backyard around 10 pm watching the sky. It was amazing and I got some great photos just using my phone. Itās a cold rainy day here. Both DH and I went through our clothes this morning and have a couple large garbage bags to donate. Now we are just chilling in the house. Supper will be chicken souvlaki and potato salad for me. DH will make something for himself with ground beef.

lucyg, you are in my thoughts and prayers. You have a lot more than just a tribe behind you. I'm not going to worry about you, but I am going to hope that you are doing things that you enjoy doing. Do you want to travel anywhere? Right now it's all about you. cadoodlebug, enjoy every second of your vacation. Have a great time and safe journeys. leannec, I am a hand rail user and I have to take it very slowly down steps. We even had hand rails installed on our back deck for the 2 steps to the lawn. I'm slowly unpacking bags of food and cat food. I'm almost done. I unpack a couple bags and then lay down. I'm exhausted. Dh has the last of the Chinese food for dinner. I need to get to the store, but that will have to wait until tmw. We have zero plans for Mother's Day. Ods was gonna come out, but he's getting over a cold and still a bit tired, so I told him to stay put and get better. Dh was so busy that he didn't plan anything. So, I'm in charge of ordering my own Mother's Day present. It won't be puzzles, because I have a stack and we don't have room to store any more until the living room project is done. I'm thinking about what I want. No big deal. Enjoy your weekend, my tribe.

Sending you the biggest hugs lucyg . I hope your doctor is able to get you onto the clinical trial. It was my niece's 18th birthday, and we offered to hold the party at our house, because our yard and undercover area is quite a bit bigger than my brother's. Dinner was party pies, sausage rolls, mini quiches and various other party foods. DSO and my brother got some pizzas for themselves, so I had a couple of slices of that as well.

I am just reading from yesterday..Lucyg....Keeping you in my prayers...and I will worry about you, as that is what I do bestā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
My sweet DH made reservations for Mothers Day dinner Saturday night, I had agreed to watch my DB for his SO while she went out of dinner thinking it was sunday evening.....Oh NO!!! I screwed that up....they showed up as we were about to leave the houseš±š±š± So dinner was pizza, with my brother. He is 16 months older than I and has a form of dementia, not sure which. So cannot be left alone. I am the go to person for the rare time Bette goes out. It is very sad to realize how young he is and the end result of this disease...Breaks my heart.
