PET, hail

This week I had a new PET scan. Back to having them every 4...one of the little buggers was showing signs of growing. This scan shows, again, more activity-like it is getting ready to break out of the Alimta wall we built. Bastard. I am still on Alimta, but looks like it is getting close to moving to something else.

The Alimta side-effects seem to be lasting longer and longer. Wonder what the new stuff will bring...

My beautiful yard was flattened by a major storm on the 12th. Lots and lots of ping pong ball size hail, 2+ inches of rain, driving wind. I was shoveling, they were plowing Pershing, shoveling off the roof of the DQ, and pulling cars out of the piles of hail.
I now have a yard of stalks. It even stripped bark off trees. As if that wasn't enough, Sunday we got more heavy rain and hail. So, the little bits that were trying to come back...sheesh.

My pal Sara came over to help me rake the ton of spruce boughs and leaves off the lawn and sweep up the patio that had flooded. Then my high school friend Cindy came down from Casper and we raked, swept and cleaned the patio roof off and the gutters (and had drinks!). She thought we needed to add color-so off we went to get new petunias. My friends Bobbi and Venice brought me a tomato plant, that had tomatoes on it (since mine were full of tomatoes when they were bashed), some new herbs and a pepper. Thanks you all!

Can't decide if I am going to make myself go out and rake and sweep and clean up AGAIN this weekend, or run away to Fort Collins!!

anyway, hope you are having a grand summer!
hugs,
