~LOVE THOSE FIREFIGHTERS & Hats for Amy~

EARLY THIS MORNING BOB WAS INVOLVED WITH PUTTING OUT SEVERAL "SUSPICIOUS" HOUSE FIRES.....HE HELPED 2 PEOPLE OUT OF A SECOND STORY HOUSE ESCAPE....I AM SO PROUD OF HIM AND THE OTHER GUYS THAT SO SELFISHLY RISK THEIR LIVES TO SAVE OTHERS. Below are just a few photos of past fires that Bob has helped put out. Our OLD CAPITAL in Iowa City was ablaze from some construction workers and Bob was even on CNN for climbing to the top and cutting a hole in the dome to let some fire escape. THESE GUYS AMAZE ME!!!! I LOVE THOSE FIREFIGHTERS!!!!

THAT'S MY FIREFIGHTER LIEUTENANT.....BOB!!!! LOVE YOU HONEY!!!! ~Amy~

AND HERE IS HAT SCARF from BECCA of BlueBird and Roses...MADE from some of her FAVORITE FABRIC. She made me two and I have worn the heck out of them. By the way, I change my hats several times a day depending on how hot or cold I am, one minute I might be in a scarf, the next minute in a ball cap, then the next minute in a stocking cap. I AM LOVING THIS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH GIRLS!!! I will try to get at least one picture a day of all these AWESOME HATS for AMY!!!! LOVE ALL OF EM and there is no way I can ever repay all of you!!! LOVE YOU BUNCHES, Amy

~CHEMOBRAIN~

Yes, that is what they call this short term memory loss. I am so glad there is a real name for it!!! I found that out on the cancer website. So here is what is happening, I am mixing up numbers, I forgot Nick's name the other day, I sleep 20 minutes to 5 hours at a time....ANY TIME OF DAY!!!! I am starting to get my days and nights mixed up and I can't remember who I have e-mailed and what I e-mailed to them. OH, and I picked up 8 different glasses and coffee cups this morning as I set my water down and forget where I put it. THAT IS NOT LIKE ME!!!! And last but not least....I am going thru menopause....induced by the chemotherapy....YIPPY SKIPPY!!! That to me is a BONUS!!!! So there you have it.....lots to write about today and now I need a nap. I think I am emotionally and physically wiped out!!!
Hugs to all of you and I love ya bunches....~Amy~

Thanks so much everyone for playing.....

I went to the doctors this morning and my red blood cell count and my hemoglobin was low...so I had to have the shot. I came home and went to bed and just woke up a short time ago. No blood transfusion as hopefully this shot will work, my MUGA heart test will be in August and so far so good!!!! YIPPY SKIPPY!!!!

Bob's Sister invited us for dinner tonight so as soon as I get back I will answer all of your emails and update the sold items on the website.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING.....Amy
