Yesterday I had my second round of treatment for the two drug cocktail. For people keeping score, I'm now 1/2 way through the first 4 cycles. I'll have an additional 12 of a different drug after these are done. I am tolerating it ok as long as I stay on top of my nausea-med schedule… Continue reading Chemo is an Interesting Monster – Round 2

A Booby Prize
Wednesday was a day of doctors. I suppose I should be getting used to that, but so far I haven't. My surgical follow up was exactly as planned, except for getting a LOOK and a very snarky "and now you're sore, AREN'T YOU" comment from the surgeon for shoveling that morning. Yeah yeah. Lesson learned.… Continue reading A Booby Prize
An Unexpected Unpleasant Side Quest
So, it's easier to just put this into a blog post than repeat things over and over for peeps who don't know yet. I haven't been around much the past few weeks for writing or anything else (other than horror movies and related distractions) because I'm in the middle of a thing.It turns out, finding… Continue reading An Unexpected Unpleasant Side Quest
More Things Ragnar Ate and Drunk Walrus Impersonations. These Are Unrelated.
Once in a while, I re-up a subscription to one of those monthly boxes of random fun stuff, just because who doesn't like getting a box of something NOT bills in the mail? This month, it was a witchybox full of various pagan bits and pieces (um, let's be clear I mean bits and pieces of… Continue reading More Things Ragnar Ate and Drunk Walrus Impersonations. These Are Unrelated.
I Regret That Email, Just A Little
I opened an email yesterday in my phone. Writing that sentence is weird. I'm a tail-end GenXer...that means it was a HUGE deal for me to get a regular old corded phone in my room as a teenager. Email was still a newish thing in schools/colleges when I went to UMD as a freshman; it was… Continue reading I Regret That Email, Just A Little
Back with Spam – Oh Gloria, Your Marketing Fails.
I mean...I guess it's convenient that I can have groceries or pizza delivered right along with someone named Leah?Honestly, Leah, even if I had the appropriate gear you're asking for, I have to say I'm not really the "any will do" type.Dear Yahoo mail and the Gloria Coopers of the world (I assume she's the… Continue reading Back with Spam – Oh Gloria, Your Marketing Fails.
A Series of Events, Mostly Fortunate
I was reminded recently via an unexpected and unusual channel that I've not blogged since Chewy's death, and since the reminder came with an "are you ok" query from an ex-boyfriend I had twenty years ago...I am still alive.This fall held a series of big changes and an overabundance of work...and I've been behind the… Continue reading A Series of Events, Mostly Fortunate
Lo There.
Thank you Chewy, for spending most of your life here with us. We were lucky. When you see Thor, tell him I miss him, too.
A Collection of "WTF" Moments
I don't have a real post today, just a couple things not sufficient to be separate postiness. Yesterday I realized that Lifetime is both blatant and subtle in their fitness encouragement. The towels in the locker room, for example, don't fit anyone with over 110lbs OR with a D cup. Because what better way to make… Continue reading A Collection of "WTF" Moments
Opening a Memory Box in My Brain.
Yesterday I visited the house I grew up in for the first time in a decade. Ten years ago, my parents moved to California for work adventures and rented out the 40-some acre hobby farm. Now, they're getting it ready to sell and I had a chance to poke around rooms I lived in from… Continue reading Opening a Memory Box in My Brain.
