On Saturday, we had Nesmith euthanized. It was most definitely Time. I can’t remember what I last wrote, but the oxygen we rented worked so well for him and is something I would recommend to any...

---

Nesmith’s situation is such a hard one. Mom, Aaron and I keep discussing what we’re doing and try to assess if we’re going to far with him. Assessing quality of life stuff is so challenging, espe...

---

Written on my phone, so forgive general laziness and extra weird typos. This has been a shitty week, pet-wise. Friday, brought Nigel in for a dental. Had been reluctant to eat, especially hard f...

I’ve got first-day-of-school anxiety even though I don’t technically have any classroom work this semester. It’s confusing reading fb status updates about people’s first day of class. I keep havi...

Being a lazy updater and definitely a bit behind on reading. Ah, well. I’ve been busy eating weird foods (and they haven’t been making me ill! Huzzah!). Every year I go to the fair, I try to take...

Thank you all SO much for all of your happy notes and support. You are all SO AWESOME and make me feel very loved :) I’ve been doing fun stuff since I got my good news and eating all the things! ...

Just came back from my appointment and wanted you all to know the good news! Yay!!!!! I'll write more in the near future, but I wanted to let you guys know right away :D

---

So I had my PET Scan on Tuesday and will get my results tomorrow. I know it's such a short amount of time but it feels like this week is going by extremely slowly. I just want my results, I want ...

---

I'm such a lazy updater lately. The past few days I've felt like I had things to write about but now that I'm here my mind is blank. This cold is just hanging on. At first I thought it might be b...

On Tuesday I had chemo infusion 12 of 12. I'm kind of still in disbelief that I might be done with all of this bullshit. I'm not letting my guard down, though, until I get my final PET scan resul...

---

Whee!!! 5 more days! Actually, 4! Since today is essentially over. I have never in my life been so eager for summer to end. Today is my mom's 60th birthday. She's working, since they give double...

---

I've been a lazy updater lately. Tuesday I had my 2nd to last chemo. So close to being done! I sat in a new corner at the infusion center and found myself facing a wall of wigs. They have this p...

---

I desperately want to volunteer here someday. http://youtu.be/bbTWWWtFFUs Baaaaats! I just want to live there for like a month and be surrounded by baby flying foxes. It would be so wonderful! ...

---

Caffeine caffeine caffeine caffeine la la la la laaaaa. My ovaries are at war with whatever the hell chemo does to the body to make it be pseudo-menopausal so I think I'm trying to go through pu...

---

My brain's being all chemobrainy sluggish today. Not necessarily more than it usually would be the day after chemo, though. I just feel a bit slow and dumb. And sleepy, but that's normal too. I t...

---

I've noticed that I've been feeling a lot better lately, mood-wise. I just feel...I dunno, lighter. Like I don't have this giant cloud of dread following me around all the time. I'm still anxious...

---

So...this happened the other day: 10 tiny daleks :) They're hard to photograph because I used metallic nail polish. I'm quite please with how they turned out. I think they're adorable (and ve...

---

You are all so awesome! Giving me the warm fuzzies and what not :D I hope I can make each of you feel as loved and comforted someday as you've been making me feel lately. Phew, I don't even know...

---

I'm exhausted and my brain doesn't quite want to be functional, so I'm just going to post what I did on fb for now. I'll write a better, more thorough entry soon. FB status: Good news! I got the...

---

PET Scan tomorrow. Blah. So sick of thinking about it and being anxious. At least I'll find out my results on Tuesday. Blargle blargle blargle. Stanley had his hair cut about a week and a half a...

---

I've been a lazy PBer lately. I'm working on getting caught up, though! My cousin Vanessa came out to visit for the week, so that was fun. Jan, who has been out here helping my mom take care of ...

---

On Wednesday I got my hair cut. It was much needed. I went to Foiled Again, a little salon within walking distance of my house. I'd gone there a few times a couple years ago and really liked the ...

---

The Monkees concert was FANTASTIC! The amphitheater at the MN Zoo is a perfect concert venue. Small enough so that no matter where you're seated, it's a good seat and the sound carries perfectly ...

---

I'm going to the Monkees concert at the MN Zoo tonight with Aaron, mum and Jan. Very much looking forward to an evening of silliness. It's a pretty small venue and I'm in the 7th row, so it shoul...

Had chemo #7 yesterday. Whee. Got back the results of my pulmonary function test and the DLCO, which measures something like diffusion of oxygen from lungs into the bloodstream or something, had ...
