You take care too! I hope your chemo doesn't totally ruin your
Thanksgiving. Thank God, I'm getting out of the city dump and
going to my best friend's. Our shared granddaughter and her
daddy will be there too. -- Judith

I hope your chemo goes as well as possible. The potluck was great.
I didn't eat anything but cold food just because that was what
appealed to me.

Between all the organizational meetings, the potluck and the
after the event critique, I was on my back for 4 days. Today I
accomplished a few things with very little energy but no pain.
I made some new friends and had a great time, so it was
worth the toll it took. Also, we're going to have a neighbor-
hood knitting group. I don't know everyone who signed up
for that, so I'll be meeting more new women. I've recently
become aware that I've become too isolated - easy to do
when you live alone and are in lousy shape. -- Judith

I forgot to ask. Are you OK? I certainly hope so.
See, my brain is really fogged in. -- Judith

No, I didn't die - close but not quite. I really ran myself into
the ground but I knew what the consequences would be and
decided it was worth it. I was on the organizing committee
for my neighborhood association's first potluck. Then I spent
4-1/2 hours at the potluck. it was great but I'm still recovering.

There is possible good news for me. I've discovered a new remedy
for Fibro. It isn't cheap nor easy but if I can regain most of my energy
and get rid of the pain, I shall do it. I am determined. -- Judith

The KALs are great but there something special about
being in the same room together. My life isn't easy these
days but I am truly blessed. I have great cyber friends and
some special ones here in Tucson. I had begun to feel
sorry for myself lately, which surely didn't help anything.
I'm making a conscious effort to focus on all the good
things i do have in my life. I'm practicing what my
therapist calls thought stopping. As soon as I catch myself
slipping, I tell myself the truth. It actually works. -- Judith

I think you're absolutely right. I've met so
many nice, helpful knitters online, especially on the Knit Picks
site. I think I'm a bit overwhelmed by Ravelry. It is so huge. I
have some great knitting pals here in Tucson. There is this
wonderful tearoom here called Chantilly and twice a month
we have a group called Stitch and Scone. I have a great time
with some very talented women.
Take care -- Judith

I too have enough stash for the rest of my life. I have Chronic
Fatigue, fibromyalgia, osteo-arthritis and high blood pressure.
Old age surely isn't for sissies, is it? I'll pray for your continued
recovery. -- Judith

Where is Sun City West? I live in Tucson and am Vintage -
sounds better than old. -- Judith
