This was last night's Harvest Moon.

Does anyone know why I can't take a photo

of the moon with an iPhone?

I must be doing something wrong.

Finally a sunny day with no place to go but the pool.  Ahhh... Heaven on earth.

Yesterday I had a not so fun day but it had a wonderful outcome.  When I got home Wednesday and got undressed I felt a lump and it was very painful.  I was scheduled for my regular mammogram on Monday and by luck they called me to do the pre-registration on the phone just about that time.  I told them what I felt and they rescheduled me for yesterday.  

To make a (very) long day into a short story it is fine, it seems there is fat necrosis in the breast.  It is in the site where I had the lumpectomy and the mammosite radiation.   I had many (many!)  mammogram photos and then the radiologist wanted ultrasound and so I had many (many!) ultrasound photos.  

Then the radiologist came in the room and wanted a live one so we did that.  She was so wonderful and knowledgable and took the time to talk to me and reassure me.  And I absolutely love that they have all women physicians in this section of the hospital.

I could see it on the ultrasound, it is about an inch round and moves and is not hard.

I had not heard of this before but because it came on so quickly I thought it might be a cyst and not cancer again.  Anyway I'm fine and don't need to go back until August.

So that was my story for the day.  Hope your day was fabulous, mine turned out to be!

This photo was from a few days ago because yesterday it rained some more.  And then it started to rain.  After that it rained.  I am waterlogged as is all of South Florida.  

I had to walk over to the club for my game and I have a large umbrella but it wasn't much good.  It's almost as far to walk to get my car to drive over there and then get out and walk in, well, it's just less outside time to walk over.  

Then when I got there the sun came out!  Well I was there until almost five so by the time I got home I was to tired to anything but cook some dinner and get my jammies on.  Oh well, soon.

So Survivor started up again.  Anyone watching?  I am going to try but I gave up last season and quit.  I think that one has run it's course.

Today will find me back in the card room in my regular Thursday canasta game and lunch with the ladies.  Hope your day is as good as mine!

It rained all day yesterday.  All. Day. Long.  No pool.  Today is a game and tomorrow too so no pool then either.  Buggers.

The museum was very nice yesterday, we spent several hours walking around for twelve bucks and saw some awesome stuff but could not take any photos.  They even asked us not to get within several feet of the stuff.  We weren't touching anything but were trying to read the plates on the walls.  Anyway I would definitely go back when they change exhibits.  We saw all of this one.

So several hours of walking around has to be my exercise for yesterday.  Not the best but better than nothing.

I am still loving Wen on my hair.  Loving it.  Someone told me you can get something similar by Loreal, a conditioning cleanser but I haven't tried it so I don't know if it's as good.  If anyone used it let me know how you like it.  I know Wen is really pricey and you do use a LOT of it so you go through it pretty fast so a cheaper one would be lovely.  For now I'll just keep using what I have though.  I have found it cheaper on Amazon.com.  QVC is another place to get it but don't get it from Guthey-Renker, they are hard to get out of the auto delivery.  I still have to do that because I don't want to order from them again.  

Have a wonderful Wednesday y'all.  I'll do the same!

So yesterday I go to the pool and it's overcast and cloudy but I think, what the heck, I'll get in for as long as I can.  After about 1/2 hour a storm rolls in and I want to tell you it was so fast it was all I could do to get out, get my stuff, and get inside.  The wind was blowing so hard I could barely walk.  I waited for about another half hour inside to see if it would stop but it didn't so I came up and got my shower.

Then I went down to the card room and played backgammon with a friend for a bit and today we are going to the Norton Museum of Art.  It has been closed and reopens today.

Then last night I had canasta in Palm Beach.  When I came home and was walking into the building I took this photo.

There is just something about the moon and palm trees that just floats my boat.  It looks like a full moon but it wasn't.  It was beautiful though.

So have a wonderful Tuesday y'all.  I will too, that's for sure!

Rainy Sunday, no pool for me, that's okay though because I have a cold.  Buggers to that.  It's not too bad, just a head cold and annoying.  But that means I can't get my flu shot yet.

Tomorrow I am supposed to go to a museum with a friend.  It's supposed to rain pretty much all week so that sounds like a good plan to me.  After that is poker where everyone is going to want to win back their money.  Which they probably will but it's all fun so I don't care.  It was fun to win though.

Sorry I don't know anything else today.  My head is sort of cloudy from the cold.  Hope your Monday and new week are lovely!

Sometimes I think no good deed goes unpunished.  There is a gal here that belongs to the club and lives in the complex and plays cards.  No one wants to include her because she's, well, a royal pain in the a$$ to be blunt and honest.  I am the one that tries.  Really I try.  I am nice to her and now she is calling me all the time and night before last night she came over and sat (and sat) (and sat).  I was in my pajamas!

Last night I worked hard in the pool and went to bed early.  She called.  I said I was in bed.  She talked, and talked (and talked).  She asked me if I wanted to come over, I told her I was in bed and thank you but no.  She talked some more.

I know she is lonely and I want to be kind but I am afraid I'm going to have to stop answering the phone for a while.  I don't want to be unkind, sigh...

This is going to be a busy week for me.  I have something every day on the calendar.  The weather also says lots of rain this week.  And the super flu shots are in so I need to stop by Dr. Wacks's office and get that.

Sorry for the complaining blog today, thanks for reading though.  Y'all rock, really you do!

Gosh do you believe September is half over already?  I think it's only about six weeks until my cruise.  I'd better get hopping on shopping!  Kidding.  I do not need one single thing in this entire world.

Yesterday I was leaving the building just as the UPS man was there.  I asked if he had anything for me.  He said did I expect anything?  The doorman laughed out loud.  I think I have a reputation.  Maybe I should stop letting my fingers do the walking.  Or not.

I mean I gave away two bathing suits and now I only have nine.  And six cover-ups and five beach towels.  And seven sparkly hats that I wear in the pool.  Hardly anything at all, right?  Oh, and sixteen pairs of sunglasses.  But who's counting?  There is no one here to stop me.  D#1 tried, she put me on a shopping ban if you remember but did I listen?  No, I did not.

Speaking of D#1 she is in Alaska with Ayla on a cruise.  Without me.  Rats.  But she'll be here soon, she has to come and see the doctor again.  She is so much better I cannot tell you.  She had wonderful doctors for sure.

So my brain is done for today, hope your Saturday is lovely.  I'll be at the pool using one of those bathing suits!

It rained most of yesterday so I was in the card room until late.  Then it finally cleared up a bit.  I hope today is better because it's a swim day for me.  

Did you see the final episode of Burn Notice last night?  It was really good and I thought it was the perfect way to end a series.  

I got myself into a mess.  I wanted to get a Monday night canasta game in my building because that is the time of the week I am most lonely for some reason.  Well I got the gals together and then after it was decided they changed it to Wednesdays.  I already have a game on Wednesday during the day and then I swim.  By the time I get done all that and have some dinner I'll be too tired to go for another game.  Rats.  Now I have to get out of it.  I like all the gals and don't want to hurt anyone but it just doesn't work for me.  Oh well, I'll see what happens.  Soon the snowbirds will be back and maybe they can find someone else to play so I don't have to.

So here's hoping your Friday is totally tits.  Mine surely will be.  It always is!!

Well today is a whole new day.  Yesterday was rainy but not too bad.  Today I have canasta and lunch at the club with some lovely friends.  And the next day is Friday already.  Friday I'll be back in the pool.  

If you could start your life over would you live the same place and would you have the same career and life?  I would.  Exactly the same.  I just love my life, every single day of it.  

But I have to get back on track losing weight.  In other words, I'm not.  Now I'm not gaining, I'm just not losing.  No worries, I'll do it.  Yesterday wasn't the day though.  Today will be better.

So go out and make it an outstanding day and I will too...

What a great day I had.  First the pool, then reading in the afternoon and then I had dinner at the club with my friend.  Three different people came up to me and asked me what I was using on my hair to make it so soft and nice.  Just Wen.  This is not a commercial and I don't know anyone selling this product, I just like it.

And then there was poker!  After last weeks loss of $53.00 I won $193.00 last night! 

Today I won't be in the pool because I'll be in the card room until late but no problem, there's always next time.  Fun and games in my world.  Hope yours is a lovely!

**note:  I am not forgetting 9/11 for a moment, I am just not dwelling on it.  I will never forget as I am sure you won't.
