Jacqueline's Groovy Groups

About Me:: I'm a 41 year old woman In treatment for primary bone non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I'm an American who loves to travel, and I live in Brisbane, Australia, where I have to say I'm receiving excellent care. I'm very lucky in that my cancer was caught early on and I'm considered to be very curable.

Outside of having cancer I'm an Applications Developer who enjoys reading, cooking, walking, hiking, painting and drawing, and I have at least a passing interest in almost anything including politics, philosopy, religion and all forms of healty living.

It took me 13 years after my last pet, to get another one. I just did not want to have to go thru that pain. Pets become part of the family. I know making that decision is so hard. Maybe with the weather getting nicer, you may feel better. I can appreciate about having a life after work, seems sometimes that's all that can be mustered to go thru the day. I am glad though,that you are not sitting at home. So,you do the American Thanksgiving? I love Thanksgiving, I will eat all the wrong things that day, but that's ok, once in a while is not bad, and it keeps me from having a full out binge. If you need raw support, check out rawfu.com. In fact there are a couple of ladies from your area. Let me know if you are interest, I can send a friend invite. If I don't here from you, please have a good Thanksgiving. I am glad you got back to me. Take Care

My favorite. Spinach, wheatgrass, banana and apple. Yummy. I was thinking of you today. I hope you are doing well. Yes, the PC is not helpful if you are trying to sleep. Have you tried any restorative yoga or meditation? I do the yoga once a week in class then at home about 3 times a week, really helpful. Well I just wanted to stop by and send some love and thoughts, Hey you are my longgggg distance friend. That's wonderful

At 8:54pm on October 15, 2008, Jacqueline said…: Hey Linda,

How are you? How's your insomnia going? I've had a bit of that myself lately and I've been staying away from the PC at night trying out some of my doctor's recommendations. I've also been quite tired because I started back to going into the city to work. I never thought that would wear me out as it has. Just being upright and engaged all day is so wearing now, but hopefully it will get better. Thank heavens for my juicy smoothies, they at least give me some energy for the day.

Sending love back to you and your family.

At 3:35am on October 2, 2008, Linda Ann said…: Hi my friend, how are you doing? Can't sleep, just thought of you. Have you been doing alot of cooking lately? I tried making these raw cookies with acorn squash, well let's say, not what I expected. The squash flavor is just to overpowering. I'll just try another recipe later this week. With fall coming in here, the crisp air makes me want to "nest" I may try the "fudge" recipes made with dates. How are you doing with your activities, are yous still walking? I have to get back to the gym, I got a call from my friend who I buddied up with and she said she is going to pick me up, so I'll have no excuses. I hope you are doing well. Just stopped by to send the love.

How bout I bring you here and you can bake for me? You are a culinary Diva. I like to bake but really have not lately. I have a problem with that, I will eat more than I need to. Yes, we love our pies. I love lemon and key lime pies. Gosh, I want one now.
The veggie burgers sound good. I get the bocca burgers, my daughter and I are the only ones who will eat them in our family. I am glad your port removal went well.
I have to have some more blood tests. I thought my thyroid may be giving me problems, but it seems I am Vitamin D deficient, so more tests to see why. My family is doing great, they are all sassy. Well I loved your update. I can't remember but are you 12 hours ahead of US time? Jac, take care and let me know how you are doing.
