8:00am
Phil: Cool. Now you get well and stay well and live life to the fullest.

8:05am
Good morning! Beautiful and cool here.
Trying to decide if I should go to the beach! Have a great Friday!

8:27am
Phil: every day is a good day for the beach! Go, go go
Hell, go skinny dipping!

8:31am
I would if you were there.
Ooff… that’s quite an image. You, me… naked… waves… oh, man.

8:34am
Phil: Ha ha ha, naughty girl

Who, me?
Both assistants called in “sick.” Have to go to the office for awhile. sigh
But hope to get out of there and see some sand later on.

12:33pm
Taking off to Gloucester!
Hope you have something fun planned…
So wishing you could see the ocean with me!

5:05pm
Standing in the sand… Pretty close to heaven!

5:20pm
Phil: it’s probably pretty close. I may be in New England again in September. Perhaps you would treat me to a lobsta?

More Myself

A private entry in my public journal: 
August 5, 2011  12:53 pm

I’m having deep thoughts along the “Now what do I do with my life?” 
I was watching bits of “The Bridges of Madison County” on youtube and came across this quote from Meryl Streep’s character, Francesca, while she is lying in the bathtub with the guy.  
“And in that moment. everything I knew to be true about myself up until then was gone. I was acting like another woman, yet I was more myself than ever before.” 
I’ve been wondering if I am going to be like her… find the man, be truly myself for 4 days, and now slip back into my other life, never to see him again.

So glad you had a nice day!  I’m doing the happy dance! I’m done! They gave me a certificate and a pin. Heh. Skin still has to heal, but glorying in not going to MGH tomorrow. YAY!

Celebration supper with the family and pal – Greek food! It is slowly starting to sink in that I am really done. Now what?

Wish we could celebrate. Ah, someday!  Sleep well, sweet man.

Cartoon Zap

August 3, 2011

A bunch of folks sent me this cartoon today.  
First I giggled. Then I was sad that he knows someone pretty well that has breast cancer, but happy for her that he does. Then I was amazed that he makes the crap they do to you sound cool! Thanks, Randall!

Wednesday willpower


7:34 am
Good morning! 66, cool 70s sun today. Zap #32. What can I think about to distract me? Have a wacky day, kid!

1:54 pm Stayed home… chest hurts… raw skin.  Bleh.  But I managed to make a gourmet lunch at my house – what the Canadians call “kraft dinner” with diced ham!



10:39 pm
Beautiful night… sweet ocean breeze. Good time for a walk in the sand in the moonlight. Sweet dreams, kid.
