I spent the day at the hospital yesterday getting tests just as a precaution for I am leaving this Sunday, Sept. 7 to spend 2 weeks with Laura. My Onc didn’t want me to get down there and have any unexpected issues arise. I am very excited to see her. Though, it has only been less than 3 weeks and we talk usually 3-4 times a day, which helps tremendously. I didn’t get out of bed all day on my BD, though I would never tell my daughter that. And, that treadmill that I was hoping I could build up my strenth on I actually broke 3 toes falling on it over this past weekend. That wasn’t the plan, but that’s just me. I am bursting at the seems with excitement to get down there. She’s concerned that I will get bored while she is at school, though I am brining my staple gun, my cordless screwdriver to help her add add a female touch to her apartment. The complex she is living in is very nice and thankfully they have all wood blinds at every window in the complex so that it is symetrical but she wants some frills in her bedroom and I am going to reupholster her bar stoola at her snack bar in the kitchen then make valances to match them,then just to add some extra cutesy I am going to sew the material upon her kitchen towels. I plan on doing he same for her in her bathroom. I miss so much doing this type of things for her. I know that I need to develop a plan for myself as a Woman and not just a MOM, but after being divorced for 22 years it’s easier said that done. I cannot wait to get back to St. Pete Beach, just for the serenity and the beauty of it all. It is pouring down rain here though we really need it I am just going to wait until tomorrow to go to the post office to stop the mail and all of those last minute things. I am really tired today so I am going to go take a nap for I do not want to go down there exhausted. Laura already has plans to come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, she said she cannot imagine not being home for the Holidays especially for my mashed potatoes, I guess that it’s a compliment. I’m glad she has her dog, Lucy, she is 18 moths old and like a child to her, she is a pug and so ugly she is adorable. She is so attached to Laura, sleeps with her, follows her everywhere.
Well, that’s all for know. Wishing everyone well and thanks for all of the kind words, I cannot tell you just how comforting it is to know that with all that everyone is going though they still take the time to comment. Be Well, Be Happy, Love & Hugs, Patty

Thanks for your support -
Yes, you better go and enjoy your trip and visit Laura. Enjoy and have fun!
By the way just to remind you don’t forget to watch the stand up to cancer on tv. The NBC and the CBS people are going to Gilda’s Club and I might go there tomorrow and it will start around 8PM.
Dear Patty; Well I’m very happy to hear that you will be visiting your daughter down in the lovely south of Florida. It sounds as if the talents you have will be greatly appreciated in sprucing up her apartment. Sorry to hear you have less energy but hopefully the trip and just resting in a new environment will help you greatly. Take care of yourself while away, don’t overdue it, cause the penalty is too great. Look forward to your next post. Weezie
