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

Feelings, nothing more than feelings... November 19. 2024

  I really have to get more sweatshirts.  In a couple of days we will be heading back into NYC to get my liver ablated, again.  This is the 3rd time.  3rd times a charm?  I am not sure how I feel.  I spent all day Sunday getting things done outside so I still can burst some energy out, but it leaves me exhausted.  I don't have the energy I had just a few months. I have started another blog, but public - I am not sure why I am driven to do these things.  I have always been an introvert with a need for attention I guess (it's strange, I know). Well, I don't have a lot to say this morning outside of the fact that I am beginning to realize that I spent way too much time in my life thinking about me and it is sad that it has taken me this long to realize that life is about everyone else. 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 gea...

 Tiffany is amazing!  I know that she doesn't feel well as she has an infection in her kidney due to her stones.  She continues to take care of me regardless.  In the morning, I am generally able to get around without issue (except for the pain in my side), but by afternoon I am generally really tired.  More tired than you should be from just sitting around.  Eating zaps every bit of strength out of me for some reason leaving me extremely lightheaded.  I try to hide how bad I am feeling after eating as I know it upsets her. I have a lot of hope about upcoming treatment.  I expect to start on chemo as everything I read suggests they won't go after the tumors in my liver via surgery.  What I fear is that if the chemo doesn't slow the progression of the liver metastatic disease that I will get real sick in the coming year.  I had an ultrasound a year ago that didn't show any lesions on the liver and a year later I have several.  Hopefu...
