Bill

Today is the first day for Marc and Kitty on the island. Keep on the lookout for them on the cams!!!

Off to work now...

Good Morning Everyone! I hope Marc and Kitty's move went well!
I missed Bonaire yesterday, I needed some warmth, it's freezing outside! My husband was working on a presentation all day yesterday on the computer.
Off to work too .

Morning all! Got Charlotte off the archives this am!

I'm so HAPPY to see you back. We missed you so much. You're our den mother!

Caught a skinnydipper! Woo-hoo!

I'm leaving hugs for Annie and Emma today.. Today is Emma's first day of therapy. If you have a hug you can spare, leave it here for when they get home from the hospital.

Morning Rusty Morning Margarite!
Hope today goes nice and smooth Annie and Emma!

Good afternoon, Martin!! What do you think ? Lucky Kitti and Marc...Couldn't happen to a nicer guy....except maybe you or I...

Bill, Eileen,Meryl, Rusty....guess what? Mid 70's today. Perfect weather for the MLK Day parade. Unfortunately, I will be at work.margarite
BTW, did you notice???? Olaf is back.

Annie & Emma, big hugs to you!!

Princess poking her nose in:



What do the call a male Princess Parrotfish?

Bombs away, dream babies!

Good question, Rusty. And how do you tell the difference between a Stoplight, a Princess , and a juvinal? I need to get out my fish id book I guess. Can't be a proper web cam fish spotter if you apply the wrong names .

The Princess has stripes, the Stoplight has a light patch at the base of the tail, and the chatters are, for the most part, JUVENILE! LOL



How dare the coral-killers obstruct our view of Smokey the other day. No respect for the wildlife!

I knew you would be annoyed about that. The last time I went to visit Smokey, I could't even recognize him. He looks very different in person....more rock like.

Hi Honey's I'm home.
Thanks for the hugs Margarite, Meryl and Rusty. They feel great. Radiotherapy went very well, and as you can see, we got home earlier than we expected. Tomorrow is going to be a real bad day. The chemo will take 5 hours, and after that we have to go for the radiotherapy again. We have to be there for 9.00am. YIKES! I might be able to pop in just to say hi to you all sometime in the evening.

Margarite, The email address does not work. It says it is not a valid internet address. Annie B.

Annie! Is it every day for seven weeks?? Are they still saying that? Does Emma have to just lie down and let an IV run for the chemo?

Yeah!!!you're home!! Glad it went well. Take a little something to read while you're at the hospital tomarrow.

Darn e-mail. I noticed I haven't had new mail since last Friday. Somethings not right.margarite

Rusty, Yep it is still every day for 7 weeks. Emma will be able to walk around with the Iv in unless it leaks. She can also eat and drink and smoke too. I am gonna take some knitting with me this time so I don't go completely insane from just hanging around.

Even Sat and Sun? Knitting sounds good.

Margarite, No, not Sat and Sun, we get weekends off thank goodness. I think the email worked this time, go check see if you got it. Annie B.

Nope! Nothing from you Annie, but I did get one from Martin,so try me again.

Weekends off, YES!!! Good.

Hi Annie,
As you know I was away from the boards for awhile so I am behind in the "news". Who is Emma?
Carol

Carol, Emma is my daughter. Annie B

Margarite, Check it out again. It's telling me they have been sent. Annie

Annie,
Never realized you had a daughter - just thought you had a son. I hope everything goes well......I'll be thinking of you both.
Carol

Thanks Carole, It isn't too bad at the moment, it is just the travelling up to London on the train everyday that gets ya down. Annie

Can't see it, Annie. I'll check again from work... Gotta go now. I'll try to catch up with you at sunset time

Where are you, Annie, in that travelling into London is a pain? Going in by car? or train?

I'm glad you can come home with Emma each day. When my mum had radiotherapy she had to stay in for the week, and while she was well enough I could take her out for a few hours shopping or for lunch or sit in the gardens etc. And she went home for weekends too. But her treatment was for 4 weeks only. Plus a 24hours intensive radiotherapy via her vagina in a sealed room. It was dreadful! We could only peep through a window and wave at her. She was SO brave. And as I said, she is now absolutely fine 6 years later.

Big hug for Emma and you

What you gonna knit, Annie?

Happy Martin Luther King Day you lot over there. Wish I had a day off. I could catch up on some sleep.

And yes please can I have a big dollop of the stay young forever - ness
Just send the tablets over. I'll take them as instructed.

Hi Jenni. I just had to pop to the docs to get my own pills. Keep forgetting about myself. Brain is like a perforated T bag.
We can't go by car as there is nowhere to park, so we go on the tube. It doesn't take that long really, but it is exhausting. Emma has also got to have about 2 sessions of the 24 hour intensive internal treatment. We keep telling her it will be ok, and also relay all of the Bter's messages to her as well. Annie B.

Yeh, it will be OK, and glad you tell her that. Give her my love and a big hug


OK - I get why it is exhausting going in by tube. Is she in at 9 every morning? If I know what time her treatment is, I will think of her, and add her to my healing list when I light my morning candle.

You're doing great, Annie! It is exhuasting and stressful supporting someone you love through these processes. Give yourself lots of praise, and treats too.

Annie, big hugs to you and Emma but remember Jennie's advice too. Take some time each day for yourself and do something nice, choccy and a good book or a bubble bath. You need to keep healthy as well.

hi all, peepin' in, yes, i am working today too:-) sigh...annie, glad all went well with emma today. will keep my fingers crossed!

Hi folks, I'm still trying to catch up some, getting there slowly!.. Annie B, BIG HUGS from me too...if you would like a chat anytime, please feel free to give me a call here at home. I'll send you my number tonight.

I will get around to the trip report soon, but even though my exams are over, I still have some University commitments over the next week.. so hopefully the report will be up later part of next week.

Bye for now,
Sarah

Jenni, Julia, Bluetang, Thanks a lot for that.

Jenni, It will just be a shortie jumper. Something plain, to wear with my jeans, just to pass the time away. It will probably be knit one drop 6. LOL

Sarah, Thanks for the email. I see you are as busy as ever. Good luck with the exam results. I know your gonna do well. I promis to get in touch when I can. Annie B.

Oh Boy, the sunsets are fantastic tonight. Annie B.

Ok, I am treating myself to something nice Bugger it, I got all day to sleep tomorrow. LOL. Annie B.

The night divers are out and about.

That's all folks. I am off to my beddie byes now. Annie B.

Shortie to wear with jeans sounds good to me, Annie. What colour you gonna choose?

I missed the sunsets. Darn it!!! I was watching Bridget Jones's Diary, for the umpteenth time, and still laughed, and cried. And thoroughly enjoyed myself.


Night Night Everyone
