DIYs and Goodies on WWBH

Welcome to the party. I am so glad you stopped by. 

Update on my treatments - I was able to have my treatment on Monday. The amounts of the drugs have increased and I get more tired. I told hubby it is like I just completed 150 pushups. I am also on my second UTI. Yuck!

I am lucky that I have not had some of the other issues associated with the drugs like nausea, heartburn and neuropathy. I keep pushing forward. 

Have a great week ahead.

On to the party!

 All About Salads on TFT

Happy Thursday dear friends. I hope your week is going great. I didn't have a treatment on Monday because my white blood cells were too low. I was bummed since I was counting down, but nothing I can do about it. 

So I decided to go and see my BFF. I spent the night with her and we had a blast. She gave me a facial which was awesome.

It's Christmas in July - the 25th is today! 

Have a great week ahead!

Goodies, Craft and a Book on WWBH

Welcome to the party. I am so glad you stopped by. I had a disappointing day at chemo. My white blood cell count was too low for them to give me my treatment. They think it was because of being sick and taking antibiotics. I was disappointed because I was counting down the number of treatments to go. Now it is extended by another week. Oh well, I just hope all is well by next week. 

Have a great week ahead.

On to the party!

Ideas for the Home on You Are the Star

Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was quite until late Sunday night when my daughter got home from 2 weeks in Switzerland. She had a great time but I really missed her. Glad she went but glad she is back home.

Have a wonderful week!

 Home Decor Ideas on TFT

Happy Thursday dear friends. Hope your week has been great. We have been having lots of rain. Our grass looks terrible with so much water. You wouldn't think that, but it gets sod web worms and it turns the grass brown. Yuck!

I thought this week I would share some home decorating ideas from some awesome bloggers. I love to look at what others do for inspiration. I hope you find some too.

Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week. 

 Lighting, Wreath and Goodies on WWBH

Welcome to the party. The past week was a tough one. I received all three of my chemo meds which hit me hard. On top of that I got a bad cold. I spent a lot of time in bed. I finally got some meds on Monday and I am doing so much better. 

I only have 4 more weeks on these meds and I hope all continues to go well. Thanks for your continued support.

Have a great week ahead.

On to the party!

DIYs and Yummies on TFT

Happy Thursday dear friends. I hope you are all enjoying your summer. I know that Christmas in July is a thing, but when I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday, not only where they putting out Christmas stuff, there was a ton off fall items. Yikes, I am not ready for all of that. 

How do you feel about that? I guess if you are a crafter that sells, you have to start early, but it seems way too early. Let me know your thoughts.

Cooking, Painting and Relaxing on WWBH

Welcome to the party. So glad you stopped by. Spending more time in the house than usual since the weather has been so hot. Even the dogs don't want to be out for long. 

Are you having a heat wave too? Seems like this has been a warm summer across the nation.  I hope you are staying cool.

Have a great week ahead.

On to the party!

DIY Ideas on You Are The Star

Dessert Goodies on HIH

Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Party

Welcome to the party. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend. If you haven't have enough desserts, I picked a few new ones that you might add to your recipe box. 

Previous party is right here!

Independence Day on TFT

Happy Independence Day everyone. A great day to celebrate the birthday of American Independence. How are you celebrating the day? We are having a quiet day, some burgers on the grill for hubby, my daughter and me.  Thursday is usually my off day and I am quiet tired. So relaxing is on the menu. 

Enjoy your 4th of July celebration!

Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week. 

Menu Ideas on WWBH

Welcome to the party.  Here it is July already. This summer is going by so quickly. How are you celebrating July 4th? 

We are just staying home and going to grill out. Nothing special. 

I thought I would update you on my journey - I am at my half way point in my 12 session treatment. I am doing pretty good. The first three days after treatment are the best days, then it usually hits me like a bad case of flu. That lasts for a few days and then it is time for the next treatment. The lumps have been reduced by over 50%. That is good news. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week ahead.

On to the party!
