Romance is a Minefield

Jess1 Comment

So in this morning's neighborhood Face-space group, which is often full of the usual messy racist, classist diatribes by "anonymous123456" users and occasionally punctuated with gloriously kind or wholesome posts, a man seemingly forgot it was not a dating app. His pic was clean cut and suited, his description was vague and well written and… Continue reading Romance is a Minefield

An Unexpected Visit

Jess5 Comments

So, a couple weeks ago I posted I was about to have my first Zometa infusion and cross all the things and all that. The universe put together some, hmm, interesting factors the week after that appointment that led to an interruption in my regularly scheduled programming, which also (annoyingly) led to me missing Paganicon… Continue reading An Unexpected Visit

Friday the 13th Luck

JessLeave a comment

Today is the new infusion day. I've worked extra every day this week so I'm done when I leave for the appointment, because if I have any ick feelings I can go to bed right after. If I'm physically fine, I have the afternoon off to read, write, play cello, or maybe walk in the… Continue reading Friday the 13th Luck

An End, A Beginning

JessLeave a comment

At the end of last winter I bought myself cross country skiing gear. I had a hysterectomy between Yule and New Years in 2024/2025, so there wasn't any point in getting geared up during the season, but I wanted to be ready for this winter. This winter has been a little wild with house renovations… Continue reading An End, A Beginning

A Time for Rest

It's dark in Minnesota most of the time* these days. The sun comes up after 7:30am and sets by 4:30pm as we roll toward the winter solstice this weekend. Today is weirdly warm: everything is melting and rainy out, which seems odd and ominous. Not because of global warming, necessarily, although that's an overriding issue,… Continue reading A Time for Rest

Milestone Frankenboob-aversary

Jess1 Comment

This isn't porn, if that's what you searched for to get this blog post. Five years ago I finished radiation, which marked me as clear of breast cancer active treatment. It would've been an exciting day had I not been exhausted: I probably napped. You can read about it in the Thus Ends Frankenboob blog… Continue reading Milestone Frankenboob-aversary

The Yeeting of 2024 and Round 2

Jess1 Comment

In the scheme of all my life, the last couple of months will be little more than a blip of unpleasant time in an otherwise pretty decent year. I had to wait until I was off the heavy pain meds to write this update: apologies for the delay. So, for those who need a recap:… Continue reading The Yeeting of 2024 and Round 2

Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.

Jess2 Comments

A week ago, SK and I took the horde to Disney World as a way to honor his mom and make memories. It was amazing and exhausting. First time flights were had, boundaries were stretched, new foods tried, rides were ridden, shops were shopped, and ultimately feet were tired out. I averaged twelve thousand steps… Continue reading Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.

I spent last week commuting to the office every day because the work-folk from Europe were in town. It was a very fun, very productive, very long week. My commute is nearly an hour one way when there's no traffic, so on average it was 2.5-3 hours in the car every day. Also, let's be… Continue reading Choose Your fAngus

SEPTEMBER!! The mad dash in sweltering heat of summer is over, finally. I know lots of peeps love summer, and I do love the lush overgrown-ness of all the green and the buzzing insects and dark woods, but I wilt in the heat. Give me crispy leaves and frost, please. The horde is taking this… Continue reading IT’S FINALLY HERE! I mean…OH HEY kids go back to school.
