Ahhh It's Friday!
It's 331am and I can't sleep!
We walked around the new mall that opened up in Sarasota! I'm not impressed! There are only about three places to get foid! 1 Starbucks that is a kiosk, a pizza place and 2 bakeries! No food court!
All high end stores!
I think I'll stay in my little corner of the wirld!
Talk on maybe the zzzzzzzz's will come!
Good morning Carla and my sistas!
Carla, you must be feeling better now if you went to a new mall. Thank goodness you didn't have Ebola! 
(Honestly, that was the silliest thing I ever heard of.)
Well, true to my word, I didn't do one damn thing yesterday. Slept late, sat on the front deck, sat on the couch, crocheted a bit, took a bath and put on clean jammies and went to bed! Ha! But I guess today I'd better stir a little bit and at least do some laundry and wash some dishes.
We're on Day Two after chemo and so far Butch is doing okay. No nausea, but he does have a headache this morning. I get headaches all the time, but he rarely does, so I feel like this is probably a post-chemo symptom. However, if this is as bad as it gets, I will count us as extremely fortunate and blessed.
I don't know what Christie worked out for babysitting tonight, and I'm afraid to ask! She hasn't called or texted me yet today, and I'm staying mum.
No real plans for today except more crochet. I'm working on my new alpaca sweater. I get so tickled when I find an occasional bit of twig or grass in the yarn. It's like--OMG, this came from a real animal! LOL! I'm so used to working with nothing but acrylic yarn, you know? But, boy, I'm sure going through those little skeins of yarn quickly. The pattern called for 15 skeins, and I bought 16, but I'm starting to get a little concerned. I always add a bit of length to whatever I'm making because I'm so tall, so I often buy just a bit more yarn, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't get on-line and order a couple more skeins.
Love you all, dear sistas!

Good Morning Carla and OFF,
Sorry the new mall was so bad. I remember the first mall we had back home. It didn't have a food court. The mall I worked at back home turned the Woolworth I worked at in high school into one. I don't go to malls much. They used to be fun, but now they're full of mall rats, and stores with clothes I either can't afford, or just don't care for.
I couldn't sleep last night either. Sinus headache. As a result, I overslept, and didn't wake up in time to go to the church to watch kids for the Moms Bible study.
I got a lot done yesterday, and today includes laundry. My sheets, and other bedding. I also have other things to do.
My hands have been bothering me a lot the past couple days, so I'm wearing the hand splints today. I need a refill of my pain meds, but must wait coz I can't afford all of them.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Jo, did you get my message? I never heard from you afterward. I hope you're not upset with me.
Love and Prayers,
Trish

Hi Carla and my OFF family:
Getting on here a little late. Not doing a whole lot, just laying low, taking it easy. Really bored, not much going on. It's a nice day day here and I'm stuck inside. Foot feels OK except when I get up to walk around (and I have to get up occasionally ... go to the bathroom, get more water, find something to eat, etc.).
I'm not much on malls anymore ... hurts too much to walk. I buy almost everything online. The only time I go shopping, it's for groceries. And if I could do that online, too, I would (we have one online service, but often they don't carry everything they advertise in their sale paper on their online site ... it's confusing).
Anyway, will watch the World Series tonight ... for some reason, right now got very sleepy so maybe I'll try napping.
Have a good day.
Good evening everyone....
Carla....sorry the mall was a bust!!! 
Vickie....I can't wait to see the sweater you are making. I just know it will be beautiful!!! I am always praying for Butch and yourself as well. I hope Christie and Michael found a sitter. I love you!!! 
Trish....I guess it sounds like more cleaning today. Take a break as needed!! 
As for me....I don't even want to talk about it. I will try to check in again later.
Have a wonderful evening!
Prayers for all of our special OFF family and their families. 
Tons of love and loads of hugs 
to all.....
