Thanks very much, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Still standing after PT - but barely! I exceeded previous standards in most movements. Now I feel totally done in. The soreness won't set in until tomorrow morning. But it's all good - we are making progress.

I also had an annual follow up with Oncology at Johns Hopkins this morning. Four years post-treatment and everything looks good. PSA came back undetectable. Life is good!

[HiJinx]

Haircuts will do that to you. I had the same problem on Monday.

I think we’re going to Costco over the weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, HJ...((HUGS))...funny how that works. All the surfaces where you work have little pieces of hair. LOL!

I have to go back, but I got the papergoods...they took up the whole cart and I was tired.They did have gigantic strawberries so I got them a box. My Mom has been gushing all evening. d:o)

Happy shopping on the weekend.

Just found out what I will be doing Saturday....my Mom said my Dad couldn’t get his email. I checked and he has almost 1600 unread. I will work with him to see what the problem is....is he not remembering? Too many steps? ????? One day at a time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Bring them all home safe...for sure!!
