What Great stories !!!

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

So good to hear from you all. I love all of your stories. Alison you had me weeping or "seeping" as my friend would say about you and your husband sneaking a day off to be together and
christmas shop. I have a very good husband but we only Xmas shopped together last year. I was not yet diagnosed but was feeling very sick and my Dr. ( Bob,of Mo and Bob) wanted me to stay home and take it easy as some of my labs were abnormal but not quite clear yet that i had leukemia. Follow that ? Anyway i said i was gonna just run to a few stores, and he said no way! But i am very strong willed and said i was goin. Well he came with me in case anything would happen. (i would get these sudden fevers and chills and abd. pain that would come on very quickly ) So we left the house at 7:30 am stopped at Starbucks for tea and coffee and headed to the mall. No looking and feeling sweaters. "just pick one Deb".Got a few things very quickly and off to Target to get our precious Grandson a wagon. Got that ,and some dvd's and cd's for the boys and on to Old Navy for my boys and niece and nephew. Joe got a big carry all bag and we started stuffing gloves and hats and sweaters in the bag. We were home by 1pm. That was the quickest i've ever shopped in my life. i already had girlfriends gifts as i by them throughout the year when i see something they would like i pick it up.I was on a mission this summer to get as many gifts as i could because i will sorta be on house arrest for 100 days after transplant. Thats mid nov. if all goes well. Another reason to beat this as my husband will not know what to do with all the loot i've collected. I even have my tea party favors bought and ready to go. But boy oh boy do i regress. this was about Alison and her sweet date with her hubby. I think if i told joe we would doa ittle shopping and then bar hop he would be more willing. But not before saying "bar hop, Who are you and where is my wilf" to suggest bar hopping......Bev i loved your story about Australia. You must wear that get up to the cosmo party. That could be a game we could play. For those of us that don't know each other. trying to figure out who everyone is. Of course i knoe everyone cept. Alison. And bevwill be a dead giveaway. Now where did that come from"dead Giveaway" Friend Kris would you get on that please..... Rick enjoyed your story. Was glad you could show it off to the folks. Did mom REALLY throw a pork chop at you? Suzanne i wish i could help you pack. I bet you are coming across all the girls old dresses and toys and photos. When i clean my closet i always get sidetracked looking at old photos. And i saved way too much. I'm so excited for you moving to a new place....Mo and Bob please let me know if you hear anything about Bill....
Thankfully not too much to report from here. Still not sleeping, even with 2 sleeping pills last nite. A sore throat persists but not the dreaded mucousitis. No fevers or chills but if i could get out of this room iwould give someone all the money in my wallet. Speaking of wallets. mine is at home but if you were to look in it, probably $100.00 in cash, numerous credit cards (janet does that hurt your credit rating?) and receipts from my early Christmas shopping and my nurses license., my ss card drivers license and my bone marrow registry card. Doubt that anyone will want me as a donor now. Also pictures of the grandbabies. Well i'd better close this before it vanishes into thin air.
istarted this at 7:30 am justtakes forever to complete...love you all......Debbie
