Ruth - so sorry to hear about your friend.
Cottage - I realized I am down to one tomato plant...I had planted two, but something happened to one...so that is why I'm not crazy overloaded like you are!! I do need to go pick cherry tomatoes and cukes though.
Sad news yesterday - brought my pup in to remove sutures - and her shoulder where I did surgery has been huge. We've assumed it was because of side effects (there's no lymph return, so fluid is retained) but I decided to aspirate - and it's cancer. Even my friend/oncologist hadn't seen it happen.
. So, I think it's time to throw in the towel - and enjoy the time we have with her, which I don't expect to be too long. I was a bit of an emotional basket case last night (and weirdly enough, *didn't* eat much...odd for me), and not too improved this am. I am so ready for 2013 to be over with!
Otherwise, it's off to crazy work. I saw a gorgeous oak entertainment center on craigslist last night we're going to go look at. And then my brother, whom I've seen once in 15 years, will be here Friday to have our own closure for dad. (bring on the wine!!)
Maybe Ruthie can cheer me up with some of her tales?!?!
