So good to me... April 11, 2022

 


So it is a little cold this morning - just about freezing in our bit of NY.  The weather is supposed to be warm the next few days 60's all week and I am going to revel in it.  There are a couple days of rain expected, but I am going to get outside!  My happy UV light has been working overtime in the AM when I write these posts.  Between it and the "Honolulu" scene on the Hue lights I at least feel like a bit of sun.  Who would know that a faired red-head such as myself would be such a sun worshipper.  

You know, I think some would say that Tiffany and I's obsession with sitting out on the deck is just a drinking thing or a not wanting to be in the messy house thing, but it really is a relaxation and enjoying life together thing.  We both appreciate the sun, Tiffany is actually like one of those cups or shirts that changes color with heat.  The minute she hits the sun her skin turns to that of a beautiful tan goddess.  Whereas my skin, my skin turns to the most beautiful baby piglet pink, but I don't care.

We sit on the deck for hours in the summer, watching TV, listening to music, sometimes watching a movie on the giant project screen, but always together, outside, with minimal interruption except for the occasional rabbit, cat, or walker (bark, hey, bark, hey, bark, hey).


I couldn't help but post the old Far Side comic.  So fitting for the above.  There are also the great bird watching.  It is just a great time celebrating the day and the house we made our life in.  Every time the weather permits it.  

Well - time to get busy with exercise then work.

I love my life and 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
