New day New week

It's a new day. A new week. I started the day with a 3 mile walk and a good talk with my friend. Then I went to work this morning and then realized that I work this evening instead. Not until the other girl showed...lol. Rode the bike around awhile after I left. It was a gloriously cool this morning. 65 degrees. This afternoon 93 degrees. Not so glorious. Then I came home and cleaned and organized. Did some errands. The little beater is getting me where I need to go. I really should get some pics of my cool retro car. It's got a big Thunderbird on the hood and trunk. I am grateful for it. Then I went and met my daughter and family. I took the kids to the bird park again while the parents went to the Drs visit. They love that place. I found some long sticks today. So there was lots of "fishing" going on. There was a ton of people there today. It's Fall Break. It was hot by 11 am so we headed for an ice cream.

I think I got the fridge fixed. The guy came and took a look at it and cleaned it and checked it out. He said if that doesn't fix it, I will need a new one. So no food shopping till I know if it's going to work. I am holding steady with my weight. I just feel crappy cause I am not really eating good for me food. Still feeling kind of sluggish. I am feeling better over all. Still trying to find my routine. It's coming along. I know things will cycle back around. It always does. That gives me hope. Like I said feeling better over all.

My daughter has still got the bun in the oven. Baby Z is still cooking. She will probably deliver after they do this next rounds of tests. She looks miserable. I love that she is really staying in the moment and trying to enjoy every part of this. My Gson was so funny the other night. I got in the van and he had ranch dressing smeared under both eyes. I was like what are you doing? He says I'm a football player GegGe. Made me laugh so hard. How can you get mad at the kid.

I'm off to sweep my patio from the storm the other night. It really did a number in my complex. 21 trees down. I wasn't even home for the event. I am trying to find my blogging mojo again. Trying to get in a routine of reading and commenting instead of just reading. I feel bad. It's like I am being selfish. I will figure this out. It seems like I have less free time now then when I had a job...lol

Keep the food and the mood real...........

    Hey Pants Lady-

    I know how you feel-sometimes I just don't feel like I have anything worthwhile to comment on other's blogs, and that makes me feel selfish.

    Good to know that you know there are ups and downs-stay on board for the ups-pulling for you!

    I try to comment sometimes just to let the other person know I'm still around and doing well, and thinking about them... and sending some blogging luv...
    And besides, it's a "getting-to-know- you" kind of thing....
    Kinda fun!

    Let's hope the fridge stays fixed!

    RE: reading blogs - I think we all go through phases. Sometimes I'm chatty cathy and other times I just read. I don't think there are any requirements here :-)

    Sounds like a fun morning bird hunting and fishing with the gkids. Oh, and that ranch dressing thing? Funniest thing ever! What dollbabies they are.

    Hugs, Dana, hope today is a fabulous day.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I miss them terribly, but at the same time I feel like this

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don

Dana Does Cancer

Good Morning! It's been a long time since I used this blog. I've decided that I had so much success using this blog as a tool to lose 100 pounds, I'm going to blog my way as I fight cancer To The Best of My Ability. Yep, it looks like I have rectal cancer. There is a 20 mm tumor in the old poop shoot. Just shows Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. Seems a fitting consequence for being an asshole for the first half of my life. (my two children will verify this) The good news it's not gone to the lymph nodes per the CT scan, I will get the results of a PET scan, along with a port for chemo Monday or Tuesday. And so it begins... I have every reason to be optimistic. It's still early. I'm still  going to need radiation and chemo to shrink the tumor and wait 5-6 weeks and have a resection, then more chemo is needed. I am grateful for health insurance, though I can't work for at least six months, maybe more. When I went to the surgeon on Friday he told me I
