Stir crazy after all these years... April 3, 2022

 


So yes, I know I haven't changed the sweatshirt in a couple of days.  I will today as I am getting out of this house!  I worry about being around people that might get me sick, but I also need to do stuff.  I am going to run to the storage unit and get my old game box.  I have virtual machines for Windows XP and Windows 7 (and 98 as well as DOS, but let's not go there).  Either way, I have been nostalgic lately so I might as well enjoy them.

I am feeling pretty good today.  I got through post treatment number 2 much better than the first time around.  I have noticed my fingers getting a little tingly and I know that neuropathy is an issue with the drug I am on, but I think numb fingers is a fine trade for more years of life.

I am still hoping for some warmer weather, but it is that time of year when it is usually raining and chilly (spring in upstate).  It looks like Tuesday will be nice so maybe I'll get some outside time in.  The medicine makes my fingers sensitive to cold so I have to throw on a glove to open and close the back door for the dogs.  

Today, I may run to brunch at a local brewery and get a flight.  I had a beer last weekend?  I really don't remember.  It tasted pretty good.  I don't miss it all that much, the whiskey I miss more, but I don't have good control with that so I am just not uncorking it at this time.  I tried to have a glass of wine the other day and it just didn't taste very good.  It was shitty wine all the same.  I don't want to bust open the wine cellar wines as they will go to waste when I am only drinking one glass a week.  Kind of upsetting as I have such a nice wine collection at the moment.

Well, time to get to my day.  I'm going to ride the bike, clean off the shelves next to my desk that have become junk shelves, go to the store to pick up my external DVD, and swing by the storage unit to get my old games.  Lastly, I am hopefully going to get some time in public and have a beer. Feel a little normal.

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
