    Hi people
    How is it all going?I have had a birthday to contend with this weekend and I have kept it busy so its all gone ok.Its such a strange business going through all these “days”,I think I will be relieved when the 1st round of them is over.
    Joyce,I hope you enjoyed your play,I am glad you have some good types to hang with.Pauline I am glad the work aspect is going well,it still startles sometimes remembering that the person we tell everything to isnt there,I experience that too.
    Darla,I hope the shop is going ok and Sue I hope your work is working out.
    I feel as if I cant be bothered with work,but dont get the wrong impression,I really need to work more to stay afloat.I just prefer pottering here!
    love from Janet

    Hi everyone
    Harmonious vibes to you all.How exciting about the Beatles remastered albums,we dont know whether to buy the boxed set or accumulate gradually.
    My whirlwind trip to Queensland went well.It was lovely to see my sister although she is still very unwell from treatment related issues-the cancer seems in remission.I had a dip in the sea up there which was terrific.
    I hope you are all good,and pursuing a few new and old interests.
    My youngest son has a broken thumb-it is in a splint,this is a big drama because he is doing music for his HSC(?Alevels)and his performance piece was next week,It never lets up with kids this age!I really miss Joel with all this going on.
    It is always great to hear how everyone is going,workwise etc…..keep in touch

    Im thinking of you Amy,and knowing how you feel.It becomes a bit of a surreal sort of time and we get bursts of adrenalin to get us through.You are going so well holding it all together and I am glad you have good,supportive nurses and family with you

    Jan,my sincere condolences to you and your family.I am glad your dad went peacefully and I am glad he and his family had such good care.It is very rewarding work the end of life nursing.I have done that job too and now been a recipient when my huband died earlier this year so I have seen things from both sides.
    I think you were a great support for your dad,I remember your worries over treatment dilemmas.Im sure you have many wonderful memories.
    Thinking of you Janet
    Jan,I nearly forgot to say thankyou for your kindness towards me earlier this year,it was apreciated

    That sounds lovely,Elicia-your mom was 3 years older than me-pretty young I say.We live next to the ocean too and its a big part of our lives.You did really well in very tricky circumstances,I still marvel at that that trip of yours.
    Very kind regards Janet

    Dear Amy
    yes it is good to get some straight talking.I think your mom might be gravely ill,Amy and try to rally all your supports and tell your mom everything you need to.If she rallies a little as sometimes people do well thats good but I think prepare for the worst and see how it goes. kindest regards Janet

    You know Darla,I am not sure about these same moons and stars,I think they might be different-I know we have the southern cross at night.What is really amazing is that even if we dont have the same stars and are on other sides of the world we are probably the same sort of women and we share similar cultures(some differences ,yes,but not that big really)
    love from Janet

    I would think,yes get the swine flu vaccination but is it available yet?We were expecting it soon as health workers in the southern hemisphere.I think if you have a compromised immune system and everyone on chemo does you have all the flu vaccines Janet
