Sunshine, so good. You did exactly what you did day before yesterday. You are hanging in there.

I’m glad you are able to swim through those symptoms, Sunshine.

Well, I picked myself up this afternoon and dusted the entire house, upstairs and down. I have to admit that while you guys on this thread are normally my inspiration, today my friend who died was. She was little, short like Agate, but just dynamite. She had stage 4 cancer at the same time that I had cancer. She went through chemo and then was doing radiation. I walked in the radiation department at UNC one day and there she set drumming her fingertips on the arm of her chair. She was so angry because they were running late and she was so afraid she would miss the people that she was due to go to the beach with. She went from early in the morning until late at night. Always going, always doing, always interested in her friends and others. Last week Peg, this week my friend. We seriously need Cat to come on and say she is alright.

Your friend sounds like an inspiration. None of this dying business for her, thank you very much!

Thats a beautiful tribute to your friend Virginia.

I swam 800 yards in 23 minutes today. Then went to the produce stand. Came home and got fruit ready for a friend who was visiting. An hour visit durned into 80 minutes. I gotta be better about only doing an hour. It was so nice to see her. But, now My legs are worse. I gotta rest an hour before making salad dressing (easy) and a sauté shrimp dish, which is easy except the shelling is yucky and time consuming...I think I will skip taking out the trash to the shed from the shrimp until DHcomes home.

Resting now...

You added seven yards to your swim. Well done! Also, you seem to be pacing yourself well.

Good work, 99!

Those are great numbers agate!

No swim today as I had an early MD appointment.

Agate good number all around. Day before yesterday you hit it out of the park. Wonderful!

Today, I went to the grocery store and shopped for an hour, then came home and put groceries away. Made it into the house in two trips. Then went out to get some food for tonight. I don't know what it is with me, but I just do not want to cook after going shopping, especially for groceries. Total time was approximately 2 1/2 hours.
