Cold Socks, Short Walks and Not Much Small Talk

Par for the course...Day 3 proved to be "move-in" day for joint pain and neuropathy overload.  I am wanting to say that this time doesn't seem quite as bad this time but I'm crossing fingers and toes (not really - that isn't even remotely possible)....just in case.

I'm utilizing the cold socks, trying to stay off my feet as much as possible and staying ahead of that pain in the joints to the best of my ability.  But, it takes some focus, therefore I'm not much of a communicator right now.  I sleep.....alot.

I have a fluid infusion this week so I'm hoping I am up to making the trip for that because those usually help me quite a bit.  

Things here are rolling as well as can be expected.  Dogs are happy....they like their Aunt Janet and she keeps them engaged with.  I'm no fun right now....don't I know it?

So, this is just a quickie from the sickie to let you know it's going per the usual cancer wise....and I'm hoping this is the slidin' into home for this part.  But....meanwhile.....let's talk about this:


After we allowed Jessie to acquire us, it was apparent she was no ordinary dog.  The dog was brilliant...there was nothing she couldn't learn.  She had the ability to turn the most random things into games that she insisted all humans participate in.  She was an amazing frisbee dog and I'm guessing Roger must have thrown that frisbee a few million times.  She was a "show off" for sure.

But, we took her to obedience classes....you have to have some control on an animal that smart.  She graduated 2 weeks early....this is her graduation photo.  

My fond memory today is trips with Jessie and my favorite guy.  If Roger and I had a child together....it was Jessie.



Have a blessed week....be kind and remember somewhere there is someone who could use a little more of the good in life.  Be grateful for what you have....take nothing for granted....even our challenges are gifts wrapped up in crappy paper.  Tear them open and look for the soft centers.
