Better than hot coffee on a cold day.
I haven’t posted in almost literally a month. Let’s talk about that. First, chemo kicked my ass from Sunday all the way through to the following Saturday. I was woefully unprepared, due at least in part to my cardiologist not thinking my requests for pain relief were important enough for her to take less than 2 days to get back… Continue Reading…
Crap! I forgot to mention that right now I”m getting my writing prompts from a book called Writer’s Block. Grab yourself one here: Snotty traveler alert in today’s #FiveMinuteMorning. I didn’t really like this prompt, so I just did my best. ***** I’ve been flying in planes all my life, so when Pan Am announced that it was booking trips… Continue Reading…
I’m getting better with just writing and not correcting spelling until I’m done. I could probably write more if I was physically writing, though. Maybe I’ll try that one day this week. ******* I don’t remember what time it was, but the birds weren’t even cooing yet. My alarm had gone off four minutes after I woke up. I know,… Continue Reading…
I’m not sure what made me think of all this when it comes to death, and truth be told, I’ll be having chemo soon, so that’ll be near-death (probably), but I needed to write something today, so here it is. ******* I’m not sure I was near death, but I had a fever once and I was hallucinating so badly… Continue Reading…
I don’t know why I pictured this being in the 1960s or so, and the woman being a shopkeeper in a town like in Little House on the Prairie, but there you are. Marge was a simple woman. She always donned a clean frock, no mistakes in her makeup, and her hair was salon-perfect (even at bedtime). She enjoyed growing… Continue Reading…
Ok, seriously, just knock it off. I know, it SOUNDS so hard to do, but it’s not. Look, I’m suffering. I’ve been having daily meltdowns on Facebook because the severe loneliness as I navigate cancer is taking its toll on me. I don’t have a home, I don’t have many clients, and I’m not sure how I’m going to afford… Continue Reading…

I’m still not sure what to call the series, but you can find all of the posts under the Cancer & CHD link on the right sidebar. If you’re just starting out, here are week 1 & week 2. Not much has changed from last week. I did the PET scan and got the results. Randall was upgraded to a… Continue Reading…
I haven’t been really forthcoming on this blog about my breast cancer and what I’m going through. It’s really hard to contrast that with my constant #HappinessJunkie hashtag and my Happiness Project. Before you say anything, I totally understand that I preach about life not being a zero-sum game, and you’re allowed to feel many things at once. Today I’m… Continue Reading…
***EDIT*** I was given my diagnosis as I published this article. I have Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. *** I was recently probably diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m saying probably because the radiologist has assured me that the 4cm lump in my left breast is most certainly what cancer looks like. And though there’s no cancer markers in my blood or Lymph, she’s led… Continue Reading…
I dislike winter, and that’s an understatement. Oh, sure, it’s all pretty to look at from inside the safety of an air conditioned condo in Phoenix, or aboard a sailboat in Sunny South Florida. By no means should you (I) ever attempt to hang out – let alone live – in a climate that goes below 65 degrees for longer… Continue Reading…
I have this friend named Martin, and not only is he an amazing human, he’s a person I feel truly blessed to know. There are very few blogs I read of my own accord, and you can bet his is one of them. He’s even linked in my sidebar, because that’s what I do when I like what I’m reading…. Continue Reading…
