Today has been a better day. I had a nice call from a girlfriend, went to a Ladies Guild luncheon, did a little grocery shopping and right now I just popped a cake (a very rich chocolate cake....devils food chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, sour cream, canola oil, 4 eggs and water, mix in chocolate chips, put in a bundt pan and bake)in the oven....and no one is here but me so I got to lick batter off BOTH beaters!!!! *GRIN* We're going to the neighbor's house for dinner!!!

I got to spend time with one of my favorite church ladies today....haven't seen her in at least a month....I just LOVE her!!!!   I walked her back to her car this afternoon and she INSISTED that she give me a ride to my car (which was around the block). I told her walking is good for me and she said, "Too bad. I want you with me!" I could just squeeze her!!!!

I'm feeling better today about the pain in my side issue. I noticed that when I bend to put dishes on the lower rack in the dishwasher, to take stuff out of the dryer or even to tie my shoes....it hurts exactly like it did after I got home from my surgery...I have to move the same way to accomodate/avoid pain. Keep your fingers crossed that it's just healing please. :)

I'm off to read for a bit....joined a book club at a nearby library and we are reading All Other Nights byt Dara Horn and another book but the title escapes me. If all goes according to plan and the date doesn't fall on the same date as my chemo, I'll be going with my friend and a group of about 25 to Maryland by bus to see some of the things/places we are reading about. :) YAY!!! Something to look forward to!!!

Lator Gators!

PS. I have 2 shawls...one that Jacqui made and that stays right here in the living room with me and another from a local woman and that one stays upstairs!   :) They do make a body feel better and comforted.....great reminder that there are lots of people pulling for me and many prayers being said!!!!!
