Angels as Bartenders

Where were we? Last I wrote was the morning of Chemo #11. It’s kind of weird to say, but it was a good one. I’ll tell you why: It’s nearing the end of this chemo treatment. My oncologist visit...

Like a Walk in the Park

Had the loveliest, loveliest weekend, y’all. I seriously did NOT want it to end. I even stayed up a little late Sunday night watching Netflix just wishing for more weekend. I guess it really sta...

Update Vom.

I need to update many, many things. Work: Here at the office now. I only seem to want to write when I’m sitting upright at my desk with my multiple screens and with other work going on. I still...


Started an entry yesterday. I was so stressed out at work but I don’t want to get into why…it’s not worth the energy because it’s stupid work stuff that’s super boring to read and would stress me...


Hey - happy Monday! Another chemo week is upon us (well, me…but I’m taking you along for the ride)! Yesterday I started feeling the anxiety of what this week means. It’s weird because it’s Chem...


I posted updates on my head scan on the socials today, so I wanted to come back here and let you know that all looks clear from a vascular standpoint. The scans came back completely focused on t...


Hey guys, what’s the scoop? Agggghhh. I wait so long to write an entry and then I want to get all the things written down! So. My latest is that I had to have a brain CT/CTA scan today. Neat...


Hey! I’ve started an entry about 15 times. Life has just gotten busy, busy, busy. I like to tap stuff out when I have a free moment at the office, but lately there have been no free moments at ...

OMG It's Been Forever!

How long has it been since I’ve updated?! Forever! So much has happened since my “Nope” entry. I don’t want to forget stuff, so I’ve made a little list and I’ll have to fill in details later. ...

Nope.

Nope. I don’t like that video I posted yesterday. I tried to use it to help me sleep last night and some of the “bongs” on the bowls were jarring and kept me awake! I think I need something dif...


I got ahead of my work today (WOW! Look at me go!) so I thought I’d just pop on and say hello and that I’m feeling pretty good after a few days of the bluhs. I wish I could describe how this ch...


Monday. Another work week is upon us. I actually don’t have a ton of pressing issues on my plate right now (can’t believe it since I was out on Friday!), so I thought I’d write a little update. F...


Hello from the office. I haven’t written in a good long while and I finally have some things to report! Yesterday was my chemotherapy infusion #7 and it was a rough one. Thankfully I’m more than ...

Muh Brayn

I’m writing another entry because I thought about something after I posted the last entry that I’ve been meaning to write about and I keep forgetting because… MY BRAIN DOESN’T WORK RIGHT ANYMORE....

In-Between Week

Been nearly a week since I last updated. I wish I had exciting stuff to tell you, but it’s kinda been one of those weeks that have been almost like before times: Hardly anyone is wearing masks ...

Recovery Weekend #6

Happy Saturday evening. It’s approaching 9pm and I’m already tucked in bed, all my nightly routine stuff done (including face washing, moisturizing and meds). I’m in the middle of recovery wee...

Updates on Various

The Cyclist: So far, this guy seems like what I’ve been looking for. He’s attentive, sending little texts throughout the day (some people don’t like that, but I love the little check-ins), MADE A...

Stuff Don't Stick

Oh shoot. I started an entry yesterday and then had to close out. I thought that PB would save the draft. It used to! What happened? How are you lately? I’ve been really good! Kind of shocki...

Of Pot and Papaya

Y’all. I am the worst at being a pothead. I am scared of the vape pen and I don’t think I’m doing it correctly. I might try a tiny bit of a gummy tonight instead of the melatonin gummies I’ve b...


Yesterday I went in for Chemo Infusion #5. I did my pre-chemo morning routine - the regular workout at home, pack my ice bag (for the icing protocol during one of the chemo meds), take Martini t...

What a Weeeeeeek.

Happy Friday - what a freaking week. Work’s been sucky. And by sucky, I mean, everyone is in a tizzy. It’s a panic, y’all. When I tell you that it’s about to get really bad for consumer product...


Ever since my brain injury in 2019 I have made it a point to call my parents every evening. At first it was because I was afraid I was going to have a stroke and die in my sleep those first few ...

Moving!

Hey. How was your weekend? In addition to a sweet Mother’s Day with mom and the whole family, mine was mostly “recovery” and it went as well as one could expect when you have not a whole lot pla...

#TMIFiles: Infusion #4

Hm. I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve written. I guess I don’t have too much to say but I’m feeling good-ish lately - I suppose as good as one can be while going through chemotherapy...
