FBW...Fall...and Phone

 

FBW continues...

Such a crowd voting yesterday that they are adding an additional day (today) for the first round candidates so that everyone gets to vote.  Yesterday, there were so many votes, that it actually crashed the site.

That is a lot of votes.

Woke to the sounds of Fall, today. The Hummers and Tree Frogs leaving and crows and crickets taking their places. The endless tze...tze..tzeeeeeeeeeee of cicadas winding down and subtle change of colours in the trees because Hoodie Weather is finally here!!!

54 degrees when I first checked.

The Fat Bear site wasn't the only thing that crashed this week...there was the matter of my phone (replacing today) that gave up the ghost.

For 3 days communication has been solely e-mail.

It has been unusually quiet.

Probably not going to start that last Jamaican parish until next week.

Off for brunch with Susan...

later,

A New Week...FAT BEAR WEEK...Last Night's Game...and Ajusting

The bears are ginormous as we enter FBW!

I'm not sure yet who I'm voting for...

John and I watched the Chiefs/Colts game last night. OMG!!! So good.

It went into OT and The Chiefs barely eked out a 3 point win. 

This year I won the standing $5.00 bet.

...I'm framing it...

Both teams look amazing this year!

We're dealing...adjusting to...John's Update.

He starts chemo again on Friday.

More as it comes...

The Trumpdate...23

 

The bad news...it's STILL here.

The good news...next month we'll be halfway through!!!!!

Chaos reigns.

This month we've seen:

...the war is over...okay it's not...just give us two more years...yeah...no...the first amendment...not really familiar with that one...gas is crazy expensive...deal with it...housing is crazy expensive...deal with it...food is crazy expensive...deal with it...

Yeah...November is coming!

VOTE!

Virtual Jamaica: Montego Bay

 

Our last day in Montego Bay...

There has been so much to do here, it is hard to know where to begin!

Sailing boats and catamarans...complete with snorkeling.

Lovely reefs to explore.

Eighteen beautiful beaches!

Open air markets

And the street food!

Next week we will explore the final parish...

Until then.

Tonight's Update

Met with the doctors today.

Rough news.

Poor prognosis because of rapid and scattered spread.

Going to try a bit more chemo

but saying realistically

maybe six months.

Tonight we are gutted.

 

Well...THAT Was Interesting...

 

Did you know that if you spill 20 ounces of Coke into your keyboard...it makes R2D2 noises as it is dying???

Yeah...me neither.

Back soon...just getting this new laptop set up...

Love,

Carla

Update.

 "Well...shit!"

 

We got the MRI and CAT Scan back...and John is no longer in remission.

A tiny (five mm) metastasis to the right frontal lobe of his brain...that they think they can zap away with radiation.

The primary tumor in his lung is back and larger than before...hoping the concurrent radiation and chemo can shrink it again.

And there are now lesions in his liver which may or may not be metastasis...the PET Scan on the 15th will tell us more.

We are going to spend as much time before all this starts, together.

If it isn't one thing..it seems to be another.

We're taking it one day at a time.

More as it comes...
