All is going well. getting adjusted to the routine of dialysis. The treatments seem to be going well and I lost over 14 pounds. Of course that was all fluid they have taken out of me but weight loss is weight loss...lol. I don't recommend that as a weight loss plan however.
Hi pup- I like your pics. How are you today ? I am exhausted from the heat yesterday. It was a terrific day, and it was great to meet you as well as the other TuD people. How are your dogs ? We will have to stay in touch I think we share many things in common. Cat
Hi there, I hope that you are having a wonderful time in Philly meeting up with all the Tu friends. I am sure you are all having a fantastic time today. I hope that you all have great weather and good BGs all day I am really excited about seeing the pictures and hearing about everything that went on. I bet it is going to be a great day and a great memory for all. Hope you have a nice safe time getting there and back. I will be looking forward to hearing all about it and can't wait to see the pictures.
Yes, we are similar. It is so difficult to deal with cancer and then diabetes on top of that. Now I am dealing with dental issues. I have been cancer free for two years now and I have been a type 1 diabetic for a year and a half. People don't understand how hard my life is, I am trying to cope, but it hard. The dental issues have pushed me over the edge. I miss my old life when things were simple. Congratulations on being cancer free. I too am cancer free at this time, but live Ct scan to Ct scan. Nice to hear from someone that can relate!
Hi there. Happy Memorial Day weekend to you and all. I'll bet you have interesting menus for the next few days... We're pretending that the D does not exist, having brown rice spaghetti (I have Celiac) with Angus and asparagus. Maybe melon after, maybe. Hello to your Furkids. Our Goldens are not summer dogs (94 degree weekend!), so no hiking, just lounging. Watching the birds and the butterflies. Cheers! Trudy
Hiya, pup! Life is in full bloom down here! It's amazing how busy one little baby can keep me - I barely have time to lurk around here :) hope things are well for you!
Lovely pic! Yes, I'm enjoying spring as well. I just had a deer sitting on a small rise behind my house where she had a view through my sliding glass back door and was watching me and my cat. I'm eating lunch outside every day now, though it's still in the 40s and even high 30s here at night so I spend all day changing my clothes!
That's lovely Pup! The weather was lovely over here as well. I spent most of the weekend inside, huddled over a DNS server and other such work. My nose is to the ground again as I have another exam coming up in a few weeks. Hope your doing well!
Hi Pup- Thanks for the beautiful rhodo graphic you sent yesterday. The weekend was just beautiful. I sat outside in the sun reading and looking at the flowers my husband planted last week. The deer have eaten many of our hostas last night. I understand you are planning to attend the Meet-up in Philly on June 10, my husband and I also plan to attend. It will be nice to meet you and the other friends from TuD. I live in Bucks Co., PA. Hope you have a great week. Cat
Hi Pup, being further south than you( Northern Arkansas) we are into Summer. The season seems to be a good 2 or even 3 weeks ahead of the usual, lots of folks are already cutting hay. Summer's here are often very dry and it is getting dry fast due to lack of rainfall. Most folks around here are uneasy about how things will look in a month or two. My weekend was great, played music with friends on Saturday and Sunday with a crawfish boil on Saturday thrown in for good measure. Crawfish are an eat all you want item for us low carbers!
Hi jrtpup, thanks for the pretty spring-y graphic! Yesterday was a preview of summer at 90 degrees. I've been gardening, which causes my BG to drop, so I run in for a snack rather often. The yard is looking colorful; I'm stiff, sore and up 1 1/2 pounds! A spring rain is predicted for today. I'm looking forward to terrier trial results! Trudy
Hi there, thanks for the beautiful flower! How did you guess that pink is my favorite color? We had the most beautiful week of sunny days. Yesterday was glorious. I spent all day working out, did yoga and had quite a few walks with Suri, my coonhound. We are both on a diet and I am happy to say it is working. Today I woke up to a lovely gentle rain, kind of a nice break, I enjoy a good rain and I think we needed one. Hope that you are well. It is always nice to visit your page and see your pictures, they are awesome.
Our Spring was in March and April (since we had no winter to speak of down here) Now we're in full blown Summer around here! LOL! It's sooooo hot right now and all weekend too! LOL!
Thanks so much for thinking about me.. I had a marvelous day..Serving as a "greeter" at my church; Great turkey salad at a Mediterranean open-air restaurant with a close friend; went to Trader Joe's and bought healthy veggies for the week;and talked to my family on the phone!! God bless you, Brunetta

Yes, it was a good weekend for me, too! Got a great view of the solar eclipse, really cool. Thanks for the beautiful flower photo!
