LA LA LOOPSIE

That is actually the name of a doll . . .  La la LOOPSIE !  I know because I bought one for Kaelin for her birthday. Never heard of it before she told her mom that was what she wanted. And so I did a little Internet research and sure enough there is a doll by this name. Kaelin seemed to like her doll but I have trouble getting past the name. I mean, what happened to CHATTY KATHY and BETSIE WETSIE?  Even Barbie has more of a ring to it than LA LA LOOPSIE!!

In fact, I think I should have coined this name for myself a long time ago. Most days La La LOOPSIE is pretty descriptive of me. My brain gets to going la la LOOPSIE and I am one step this side of a brain dead hippo. Yesterday was one of those days that I was just not functioning and could not get it together for anything. Ger had a doctor appointment and was being totally chemo brain dead. The nurses and doctor all ask him questions which he answers with "I don't know" and then everyone turns to me for the answers, including Ger. Yesterday day I didn't have anything to give them. My brain was totally gone!
Usually I have THE BOOK with all Ger's information in it. His medications and doses. His list of appointments, his weight chart, his blood pressure record. You name it I have it.  Not yesterday! Yesterday I had LA LA LOOPSIE BRAIN which beats chemo brain any day. Chemo brain just makes you dull and stupid. La La brain makes you dull, stupid AND emotional. So not only do I not have answers I also start to cry because I don't have the answers. REALLY!  I mean, how stupid can I get.  Husband just stares at me like I have totally lost my mind and then gives me attitude because I don't have all HIS information which just makes me cry more. And to top it off I read an email from BFF Jeanne that makes me even more weepy.  By the time the doctor came in she took one look at me and gave me a hug! Being a woman she probably knew the symptoms and knew enough to just hug me and move on, knowing I would return to normal eventually.

Today is much better but I still think it is cool they named a doll after me.

Way to go Cath.  And to think they named that silly doll after me.
