Don't feel badly, we all need to hear when things are going well. It helps to keep everything in perspective.
Merry Christmas!

The boy is home, just in time for a boring afternoon of me snoozing!! But he has had a walk this evening and is back in his bed now.
I have just made my final shopping list, gawd it is never ending isn't it. Baking day tomorrow to make my triple choc biscuits and truffles to take to work and also for our feast on Christmas Day! I am working the Monday and Tuesdays only for the next two weeks, so plenty of time off for me YAY!!
Flynny has a play date tomorrow afternoon so I have to be organised!! Yeah Right :D

Evening :)
Glad he is back where he belongs, did you get stink eye or was he pleased to see you?
Yes it is never ending, I am off this morning to the farm shop to get the veg could use the online store for most things but couldn't trust them with me veg!!
Glad Dad has a posh new pair of shorts to go out in :D
Baking day sounds like fun, I will be packing and organising tomorrow, you never realise how much stuff is needed till you have to take it with you!

Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
He was pleased to see me, but I got around there and picked up Dad to go to town. So he was miffed I left again so fast!
Yes, I quite like Christmas baking too... ohhh packing does not quite sound so much fun, hope it is not so busy. We have a lot of farm shops around here too, usually on Christmas Eve you cannot move down there!! It is berry season here right now, I grow raspberry and boysenberries which I have been feasting on if I can beat the birds to them, we usually have a pavlova with berries for Christmas pud! My sister makes it, I hope she still is now she has turned vegan and not eating eggs!!
It will be awesome getting away Mel, you sound so well orgnaised great!
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Bless him, I can imagine he thought, right home we go and then you buggered off again, expect some naughtiness for that :D
We have gone away every Christmas since I had the pups, so I have it down to a tee now! Tia was my helpful helper, I would put clean washing on the bed to pack and she would always without fail lay on it. She would also follow me everywhere in case she was forgotten I think. Boyce has actually starting doing that this year and he jumped on the clothes so he is channelling his inner Tia
I have a real tree delivered to the place from the local farm there as I love to have a real one. Don't think my princess penguin will be going outside this year if the weather stays like this as she may blow away, it's absolutely pouring and blowing gales so no white Christmas for me :(
Better call and ask her to make it if you are looking forward to it :D
Have you got all the presents you need?
We get blackberries on the bushes here autumn/winter and Boyce is partial to those, have to watch him otherwise he will munch them off the hedge!
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
I just need a couple of little gifts for a couple of friends that we are calling on tomorrow arvo. I went to the pet store today and brought Elle and Flynny matching collars, toys for them both. He cannot really have any treats with his diet but he will be getting roast lamb and some vegies for his Christmas lunch!
I brought Christmas dog cookies for my friends dogs, hope Flynn is not jealous! Got our Mike a bottle of wine and will take the staff some of the cookies and truffles I bake tomorrow. I just have to go online and buy Dolly Parton tickets for Mum and me, that's her present sorted but might buy her the Dolly CD so we can listen on way to the concert :D That is up in Auckland and have timed it for when Flynn is due his next ultrasound so he will be coming with us and we are all staying at my friends we stayed with during his surgery. Grocery shopping and that's it!!! Phew, am tired thinking about tomorrow :D I have no tree Mel, you are good getting one delivered... such an organised girl you are :D:D
OH my, I can just imagine Boyce picking blackberries himself, hope he does not get any thorns in his lips OUCH!! Flynn could not care less about our berries. He pee's around the base of the bushes so they get a VERY thorough washing :)
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Am sure he will be just fine with roast lamb :D
I love Dolly Parton, country music is great to sing along and lift the spirits. I can just picture you all now on your road trip singing with Flynny in the back looking at you like you are nuts :D
Me and Google are best friends, that why I am so organised, anything I can do to avoid hassle I am in, I do like to support the local businesses though and typically order our groceries for summer from a local farm shop.
We'll if I don't catch you now, have a good nights rest all that activity you have planned tomorrow, will check in later to see how you got on :D
Good luck out there xxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Actually Mel, Flynny likes my singing!!! Noone else does mind you, but I often sing in the car and he comes and gives me a lick on the cheek, maybe he is trying to shut me up :D:D:D
Did you get all the vegies in that driving rain?
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Oh you are both way more organized then me! Actually, it's not that bad. I just need to wrap, which I seem to not be that enthusiastic to do. LOL
I might actually have found some enthusiasm though, called escaping the living room, hubs bought himself Rocksmith. You can google and that will tell you something of what our house is like at the moment. How molly is sleeping through it is beyond me!
Trish I bet that Flynn's ALP will come down now that the liver mass has been removed, the question is that ALT to keep an eye on. Everything else seems to be clearing up so well, that I wonder if after a couple months of his body recovering inside, if that might not come down too. Or if it is because of the one adenoma that is just being monitored still.
Well sounds like you are having a lovely weekend. We have rain here that we are all watching intently to see if it changes over to freezing rain. In fact, I should go take the muffinhead out for a walk just in case. It did switch over to freezing last night, so we slid (on our feet) to a dinner party last night. Sadly Molly did not Take us, as she was belly up on the couch after her walk and not interested at all, so we left her home to snooze.
hugs all
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Yes he does still have that one in him, plus a few other liver lumps an bumps... so hope they do not progress at his next scan in early Feb.
Right, I really have to get organised now, have to be in town in an hour for lunch. This is how these things start, eat, then shop! YAY! See you later when I will be belly up on the couch myself :) xx
