Ran out of space again. Anyway, Oscar was in the ATC’s culinary program for a short time about 10 years ago. He’s been building his confidence in cooking with the help of a friend who recommends recipes and gives tips. This was the baked chicken parmesan he made. It was delicious and looked good enoughContinue reading “I Lived Through 2020 And A Stupid Tumor”

I probably won’t get a medal for helping with colon cancer research, and I’m totally okay with that. This however is something that feels like a medal wrapped in a hug. I love getting new ornaments from people. This will fit perfectly in my tree. My local library dedicates their main entrance to artists. LatelyContinue reading “Snow Is Miserable But Pretty”

I need to use a “positivity sandwich” like someone recently taught me. First, I tried out a facial mask directly from Japan. All the instructions were on Japanese, but it had pictures. Now for the hard part that I’ve known about all week but have been stalling on giving updates on because I’m not yetContinue reading “Chemo Is Scheduled, And I’m Working On Accepting It”

As the pug is my witness I won five rounds of Uno in a row against Oscar and the boys. He didn’t realize I built my poker face playing against Mom, Ty, and Brady. I let them each have a win before defeating them for the final round. Didn’t play the cancer card. They’re sureContinue reading “Evil Uno. And Monopoly. And an update.”

Spotify does this cool thing towards the end of the year where it lets me see what song it thought I might like to hear every single day, no matter how much I set the playlist to shuffle or resort it.

It will only let you edit your information and is completely voluntary. I’m sorry if I missed someone or got the names or ages wrong. Yes it shows most ofContinue reading “The Stage Is Set”

Living with cancer can make a person take unusual risks. We put the whole family in jeopardy.

I can’t be sure, but I doubt my energy level would have been able to keep up with our usual Thanksgiving Day plans. I brought a small energy drink along but didn’t need it. I’ll be going to bed earlier since I had to skip a nap, but I got my gradual exercise in. IfContinue reading “Covid19 and Lupus Made This Thanksgiving . . . Relaxing”

Jiggity jig. Monday the 23rd, 2 pm-ishI’m not sure if this is a welcome home party or the chewing out of a lifetime. 11:30 pmMy snoring pug and my rumbling belly are sounding/feeling identical while I try to fall asleep. Too tired to post a video right now. Tuesday the 24th, 1:45 pm

Turns out my glasses work when I wear them. I had four medical professions checking on me at the time when I learned they were construction fencing, a port-a-potty, and large machinery. It was still relaxing to watch the hikers, bikers, and occasional dogs play on the trails. This next part includes my experience ofContinue reading “Post Surgery and My New View”
