I lost a coworker last week to blood cancer. She was far too young - leaving behind a high school junior and a college freshman. I've worked with her for about 25years, but knew that things were not going well. I think because of that reading about Liz's niece really hit me today. Liz, I hope and pray your niece is going to be just fine. I hope they take out that suspicious lymph node. My gut tells me that since those lymph nodes are the gateway to the rest of the body, if it's possibly bad, just get it the hell out. I am really very sorry to read about your niece. Cancer is brutal and seemingly unjust.
I'm enjoying my new low and having hit my October 1 goal over a week early.
Had a great workout yesterday and am enjoying the added exercise to my routine. Clothes are getting looser again. I don't have time to get my pants taken in, so I'm hoping the belt can do the trick. Nothing like slipping trousers running around a dog show ring!
My BFF is talking a lot about old people stuff. I don't like it. This hurts and that is bothering him, he isn't falling asleep, and his poop is off... WTH? When did we get old? I met him when I was 19 for heaven's sake! This old stuff isn't computing! 
(Plus with weight loss and the exercise I feel so good that I am having trouble relating.)
Not much else. Later peeps!
LOL!

Greetings all
It's a great sunny day here. Played scrabble. Lost two, won one but they were all very close. One of our group is getting ready for a voyage to Antarctica in November. What an adventure! Ann you went there.
Liz so sorry for your niece. Such a cruel disease. My high school clique is 10 women and I keep thinking statistically one of us will get it. So far none of us has though one has another cancer. My mother got it at age 80. Wishing her the best on the upcoming surgery. Agreed: screening is critical. Ladies don't skip it. They took an extra set of pictures at mine yesterday. No clue what that was about. Maybe because I have fat ass boobs.
Next was the studio for a bit. Did some glazing. After that I stopped at the gym. I thought late afternoon it would be busy but it was not. I don't think the place has enough parking places for the number of treadmills and exercise bikes they have.
CC you are a quickbooks star. Want a job? Our gallery treasurer is going to quit doing all our bookkeeping as she is tired of it after 10 years. We are going to have to hire an outside person as no one else has the skills. So much for our excess profits. I predict a **** storm from the usual suspect. And go figure on the car smell. Car detailer must have smelled some terrible things in his life!
Lavender Paula! Thats you! They say it makes you sleep better.
More chili tonight.

The car detailer guy thought my car smelled good! Is he hard of smelling??
Liz, so sorry to hear about your niece. She has been through so much already.
161.8. Another smidge down.
Breakfast out with DH and DS2 was nice. Had ham and cheddar quiche and small lavender latte. Too full for lunch since breakfast was late but we will have an early dinner and perhaps I'll snack this evening after DH leaves for work.
Went shopping with DS to TJ Max for a bit, he needed some new clothes for work. Lavender bath bombs for me. Lavender must be my theme for the day!
So sorry to hear about your niece's cancer returning. Unfortunately that is never a good sign. I really hope she can beat it a second time!
My Stephen's Ministry person canceled yet again. I think she just has too much on her plate to make it work right now which is unfortunate since that is exactly why she needs it!
Feels like Fall for sure. I kind of like bringing out the flannels for layering and wearing boots!

I'm so sorry about your niece, Liz. Cancer is so unfair and insidious.
This morning I got up early to work on my Treasurer's report, talk to the MI bank, and clean up Quickbooks for the nonprofit only to be pleasantly surprised today's meeting has been cancelled. My stuff still needed to happen anyway. I am always so shocked when I can actually figure out how to do something non-normal in Quickbooks. Makes me feel like a genius when it happens! Today was recreating old CD accounts' history in there then linking them to newer rollover CD accounts synced with the bank. I am Bookkeeper Woman, hear me roar.
I need to do the tidying I didn't start yesterday and the car detailer is coming by this afternoon. My car has a bad chemical off-gassing smell after being closed up all summer and it needs to be waxed. So that's it for me today.
Take care all!
