It is a cold and wet out here... April 4, 2022

 


So it is freezing outside this morning (23 degrees) and it is going to rain all day.  I suppose those April showers bring...  Well you know how it goes.  I am looking forward to the sun and flowers.  I am going to pick up a seed spread for the garden next to the deck.  Will be nice to have some flowers there.

It was a pretty rough weekend.  I haven't felt this tired during treatment, but this weekend I did.  So I have that going for me.  I will have to go to sleep a little earlier to get the rest I need as my alarm clock has been waking me (well the alarm on my phone).  I am not used to having to be woken up by an alarm.  I usually wake up well before them.  I blame it on the getting up all night to use the bathroom.

For the most part, I still know that things could be worse and that I have a loving family to be with.  It was nice to have everyone over for Easter.  I was really out of it during dinner, but Tiffany made amazing scampi and rice (we have adjusted to my dietary needs and with Tiffany not eating most meat, this worked for us).  It was really nice to have Gusty and Wyatt over with the rest of us.  As much as I like the time alone, I do enjoy when everyone is here.

Well, I am running late and I have to get on the bike today as I skipped yesterday.  I have a very busy day of running around for work.

I love you all!

She said, she said, "You don't know shit because you've never been there"... March 24, 2024

 It's been a while since I posted (I say that every post now), but I don't seem to have the morning time I used to and I am not certain why (going to work I guess).   I have been plugging along.  Getting back to the shitty routine of work and weekends, with a mix of NJ travel.  It has been since October since I had systematic chemo and I'm on my first of at least two pump breaks.  I just had liver ablations done (6 hour procedure) and they say they got everything they could see, which tells me they have been down this path before (burn out what they can see, but the little ones are still growing).   Either way, this gives me more time, and I hope they got it all.  I have scans on May 1, so I will know somethings then.  It is all just a wait and see game; which I no longer want to play. The family is doing well (I guess).  I feel like I put everyone's life in limbo, because I kind of did.  I am going to try and get my ass in gear this summer and do stuff, but we will see

I won't dance, don't ask me... August 11, 2023

That song in not on in the background of this video, but listening to the swing albums makes me think of it.  It was so funny the time I re-wrote the lyrics to talk about Maeve not napping.  I won't nap, don't ask me...  I haven't been feeling very well.  I try not to let Tiffany know, but I have been so lightheaded and dizzy combined with some nasty insides, I just feel like things are getting worse.  It could be my body is sick of the chemo.  I hope that is what the issue is and not that I have cancer in my gut or brain. I am going to try and get some work outside done today.  I bailed on work, I just can't keep my head in the game and it isn't fair to them that I just sit here staring at a screen.  If I am not working they shouldn't pay me. Well, I am going to get busy on the day. I love you all!

 Feeling a little lightheaded this morning.  Still I road the stationary bike for 20 minutes so I am keeping up my trend of getting up and stretching (yoga) and then exercising.  I have been having some pain in my chest, but I think that is just the stress of knowing that I am about 1 week away from starting chemo. The chemo they are giving me is for colorectal cancer, but is associated with prolonging life but not curing my cancer.  I am going to fight like hell to be the statistical anomaly that beats this thing.  Thank God for my family as I am not certain I would not fight as hard for myself as I will for them. It is supposed to be 67 degrees today so I am looking forward to getting outside.  It wasn't nice enough to get out yesterday and clean up the dog messes, but I will get to that earlier this morning.  It is already 40+ degrees outside so I am looking forward to having some windows open today. Squirt is currently sleeping on my right arm. He is such a baby.  I don't h
