Nice to know that mothers around the globe seem similar.
Mine is 84 discovered a lump in her breast at Christmas.
She had surgery, refused chemo, now has radiation. She also suffers from a thrombosis due to the cancer. She refuses any help - wants to deal with the medical stuff herself and won‘t allow me to help her. She cleans her windows, goes shopping, takes her own car to radiation because dealing with the insurance is too much hastle for her.
Her house is way cleaner than mine by the way! And she insists on babysitting my children in the meantime- says if she rests she will die.

Love her to bits, but accepting her reluctance to get help is hard

Mine had a similar surgery a few years ago. As it was a few days before Christmas we were doing all the bakery stuff just before she went to the hospital. She returned on the morning of the 24th. Naturally, she took care of the goose...
It's not easy. Sending good healing thoughts to your mother.

Hooray! Days without packing tape.:tup:
My ortlieb bike trunk is stuffed full today--stopped to buy dog toys.:blush:

The subterraneans do, also. Is that time of year.
Formosans are aggressive & more tricky to exterminate.:frown:

:lol:

:hugs:Is hard.
My mother died of cancer, long ago.
She ignored symptoms, then expected a pill to fix everything. At the end.
Whilst continuing to smoke as a chimney & eat junk.

Not having any luck with completing the brown rainbow.
Not how how some of these bags pass quality control.
Returned 2 Dooneys: one with a broken line of stitching and the other with glue seeping out from the inner seams.
Returned a 3rd last night because the inner lining was smaller than the outer bag.
Returned 4 different Michael Kors last month with zippers that locked up when the bag was full.
Returned a Le Pliage that had a shorter front panel than rear panel so it hung funny.
I have been so unlucky lately I’m still carrying around an old Vera Bradley that is literally unraveling.
The sun has started coming out so it’s time to pull out the summer clothes.
And probably some LV.

Bummer. Those bags look lovely. Wonder what is going on with QC, too.

Thank you!
I love my Marcie, too. :)
How is your weather? Still rainy and cold? I know I sound weird, but could you send most of our rain over here. We had no rain for almost 4 weeks now. Everything is dusty and dry and full of pollen.

Thanks! Me too! I tried a different line of Michael Kors hoping this one would hold up.
Have a great time at the tavern.
It’s Cinco de Mayo and Kentucky Derby day.
So rednecks AND one percenters can get stupid drunk all on the same day.
I will be hiding as soon as I run errands.
