My hair. It's finally started falling out due to the chemo. I can't believe it - it just falls right out. It's not like I didn't know this was coming, but I thought I would at least make it to my second chemo treatment before it started to happen. I bought some clippers to shave it, but I just haven't been ready. I'm still not ready. :bigcry: I guess the chemicals are poisoning my system right on schedule. I know that's supposed to be a good thing.

On my mind this morning, at my oldest grandson's birthday party yesterday his younger brother came up to me with a cupcake cradled in his hands and said- Come here. So I followed him and asked him- What? He looked around and seeing the coast was clear leaned in close and said in a conspiratorial whisper- Look, it's a cupcake! Don't tell Mommy. I leaned in closer and said to him in a whisper- Okay I won't. Then went over to where my sons were hanging out, told my youngest what had happened, then said- I told him not to worry and promised I wouldn't, but I didn't say anything about not telling his father so here I am, can he have it? My sons laughed and his father said no it's a birthday party he can have it. It was so funny when he came out with his face and hands all blue with frosting, trying to act all nonchalant, but I think they're going to have their hands full with that one, he isn't even out of diapers yet.

colors for the femme cave
 

Colors are on my mind.

I chose burnt organ for my living room drapes. It’s perfect. Very 1970s. I forgot that my sister once had a burnt orange sofa that I loved and thought very daring at the time. I sometimes think of her when I’m looking at drapes. I may add a cream-colored sheer curtain behind the drapes.

My projects den will be black, white, gray, pink. Have never used these colors but I think this color scheme will work. We’ll see. Can always remove the pink and beef up the grays.

Am going to paint a bedroom dresser a dark teal but I’ll do that later in the year. This has been on my to-do list for a couple years. Maybe I’ll do it by end of year.

Am still thinking of painting the my old kitchen cabinets an oatmeal color with black hardwear, but haven’t decided.

Not feeling rushed to get this done and am enjoying playing with colors.

Thanks, Gemme. Your open space sounds very cool. Bet it’s nice to come home to. Will post photos when I paint the dresser.

Stamps are on my mind this morning. I want to buy some.

What's on my mind is not fit to put in print.

I really need to decorate my place but I don't feel it...

I need to get another job that won't be so tough on my body..

That no matter how one treats you - you can treat them differently and there is a lot to be said for letting things be water under the bridge.

Papers
 

I need to register to vote, apply for driver's license, get the car registered, update passport. Had planned on doing these things this week, but will have to wait till we have warmer weather.

Reach I agree with you totally. Some people need to lighten up and let things pass. There is no need to be cheeky and mean once things are over with. I also think that messaging can be misread and cause friction. Till I look in someones' face I really don't know what they are thinking or mean.

Another birthday for HRM Queen Elizabeth April 21, 2021 95 yrs of age and going strong. Not much celebration just after the passing of her husband of 72 yrs. Let God save and bless HRM at this, her time of grief.

On my mind is that Mother's Day and My sister's birthday are on the same day this year. The day will be filled with sadness and fun ... not sure how that is going to feel. But, we plan on being together on that day .. so I am sure that will help.

I hear you reach, celebrating mothers day is about the worst time of year for me. I always bought something nice for my mom and would take her to dinner somewhere nice with my father. Later she preferred to stay home and order Chinese which was fine. I always gave my sister a gift and card on mothers day as she took such a part in raising me when mom was busy with the other two. A card to someone who is like a mother to me and she was. I miss them both so much sometimes I wonder how I have gone on but it is as it is.

Where my son's present is. I'd have thought his gift would be here by now but patiently we sit and wait. Okay maybe not so patiently. Well his birthday isn't until the end of this month so fortunately there is still plenty of time to get him something else if it doesn't turn up. I hope it does. I think he'll really like it. It's a display made out of wood from a bourbon barrel that he can rest stoppers in as he collects them. Wow, think how much bourbon he'd have to drink to get that many stoppers. Well hopefully he doesn't like to drink alone and will be sharing it with friends.
