Re: October’s here

Hiya Brett,

Wonderful to hear from you!

How about those Red Sox?!

My work is nutty as I do the final prep for a big reception tomorrow afternoon, but I hope it will get calmer after that.

I melt knowing you think of me. Could you get away Friday afternoon? We could make more memories. : )

Re: October’s here

Sassie,

Let’s do Friday. I’m not sure yet that I could leave early enough for lunch, but definitely I can make it for the usual time.
If you can do lunch, then I’ll see if I can arrange it and let you know.

Re: October’s here

Yay for Friday! I made a reservation but at a different place – the other was booked! I found a room across the street at the Hampton Inn.

I can do lunch if you can. Let me know. 

So excited to see you! And touch you! Mmm…

Re: October’s here

Hi Sassie,

October is here and the yard work remains constant.

Took down a tree last weekend, not the biggest in the world but the roots are always a challenge to get out.

Work is going along just OK. I get less inspired with each passing month, but at least I enjoy the work.

Have been thinking of you lately and when we might get together again.

Hiya Thad! 

I am trying my telepathy skills… PLEASE SIGN IN TO YOUR MISCHIEF EMAIL DUDE! Heh…

Hope you had a good day. I had planned to go off on an adventure to Maine, but the gross weather made me revise that. We ended up having an upscale Chinese lunch at Beijing in Lexington and joining the crowds at Wilson Farm to get some farm fresh goodies.

I’ve spent a few naughty minutes scrolling through Tumblr. Are you still up to look at some sexy shenanigans? The steroids they gave me during chemo made my body crap but my mind was the sexiest it’s ever been!

Hugs with groping and an ear nibble!

Re: September secrets

Hiya Thad,

Wonderful to hear from you, even if your news is not so good. Wow…wish I could sit beside you and take your hand and listen to your stories. If you’d like that and can see any way to do it safely, let me know.

Please feel free to write and vent or ask for distractions or whatever! I spent 11 months in cancer treatment and know some of what you’re coping with. I like to think I could help, either by commiseration or talking of other things.

I thought of you this week – a friend was traveling in your old stomping grounds and posted photos.

Please keep me in the loop? I will keep thinking of you and hoping for good days!

Hiya Thad! Hope you had a good Sunday. I had a quiet day at home with a lovely omelette, watching the premier of the first female “Doctor Who” on BBC America, and a glorious nap.

I’ve been thinking about you… remembering a certain bathroom. Mmm…

I am so curious about what’s going on with you. I want to ask a lot of questions but am trying not to be nosy. If you don’t mind, let me know and I will launch into my inquiry.

Hugs with gentle groping!

Hiya kid! Watching the football?

Hey there! Sure am
1:17 PM Sassy
We’re waiting to watch the new “Doctor Who” premiere with the first female doctor.
It starts at 1:45 pm

Hubby figured out this new Sling thing, where you can get cable channels for cheap streaming online!

Ahhh, enjoy!
1:19 PM Sassy

It’s rather warm and humid here too.

Remember The Big Fish? The guy I met who works where I do?
He emailed to tell me he’s got Stage IV cancer. *sigh

1:28 PM Phil
Oh my, sorry the hear that
Fucking suck ass disease
1:29 PM Sassy
I offered to help… hope he’ll let me somehow.
1:30 PM Phil
I hope he does
1:31 PM Sassy
We never did much… but kept talking.
Hope my experiences could help.
He was supposed to have a hip replacement but instead they found cancer. So he’s not only in treatment, he still can’t walk. Ugh.
It sounded like he thought it would make me run away but you know me… makes me want to run there and hold his hand.
1:34 PM Phil
Oh geez. Bad to worse
Whatever comfort you can provide will be appreciated, I’m sure
1:36 PM Sassy
You were so good to me when I was ill.
My body was crap but you kept my mind in fabulous shape!
1:37 PM Phil
It costs nothing to care and be good to people.
Easier when you already cared
1:39 PM Sassy
You have off tomorrow?
1:48 PM Phil
I do!
2:21 PM Phil
How bout you? my team playing well today!
2:22 PM Sassy
Yes, got the holiday off. Yay!
2:23 PM Phil
Awesome!
