It's not fall yet!

Those folks who are poo pooing global warming as rubbish should check out the weather. It's supposed to be 90 degrees the next few days. The nights are cooler, but that is still a little warm. I decided a few weeks ago to make chicken matzo ball soup today and invite some of the neighbors. I figured it would be getting soup weather. WRONG! Still gonna make it. Maybe it will start to get cool next month.

Wayne's birthday is tomorrow. His daughter Laurie is gonna try to come down and surprise him. That will be great.

I have my mammo and breast MRI tomorrow afternoon. My left breast is sore from regeneration of nerves after the radiation. I hope it doesn't hurt too much. I don't know if I will be needing the Xanax for the MRI, but I'll take half a pill just in case. I see Dr. Chaudry next Friday. He didn't want me to have an MRI, but Dr. Collins and Dr. Fernandez and I want it, so we overrule him. I would rather have a benign biopsy after a false positive, then let a cancer grow. As my breasts are "new", Dr. Fernandez will not have anything to refer to compare.

I am having a few more aches and pain. Probably from the Femara. I had a 4 day weekend last week, and probably overdid it. Planted some daffodil bulbs, got wore out before I quit, but pushed myself to finish an area. That was on Saturday. Then Sunday midafternoon, I just got really fatigued, and that didn't go away until Tuesday morning. Right now both of my shoulders are aching. Yesterday my right thumb had a deep, annoying ache.

Got my Grace frame set up on the patio. Got a speed control for the Janome 1600. Waiting for the new no-flex carriage. Made zippered leaders, I'm ready to quilt.

Speaking of quilting, I'm going to Paducah! My internet friend Sarah Ann Smith is going to be teaching. I was very lucky and got a handicapped room in a Hampton Inn not too far from the expo center. Ideal would have a room at the center, but those are available by lottery. I offered Sarah my help, and she accepted. It is gonna be a great time. I am really psyched up.
