You were the first you'll be the last... June 2, 2022


 

I still have a hard time typing June, Hell typing 2022.  When did I become old?  

I was thinking about how Tiffany is truly the first woman (other than my mother and sisters) that I have loved (you all get the point).  I thought about her all the time while we were not together.  She was the first and I know she will be the last woman I love.  I really can't believe how much my cancer has changed my outlook on everything.  I really just want to be home with my family, gardening, cleaning, etc...  I don't really care about much else.  I've been trying to game or have fun, but none of that satisfies me.  Like I said yesterday, I am trying to build things that last.

Staring at this picture, I realize that I can do the Spock eyebrow really well due to the Bell's Palsy (a whole different story for another time).l

Well, I am going to try and stay at work longer today.  Not that I don't want to be home with the family, but I really don't work that much when I am home.  I need to at least complete some items so that work doesn't think I am just taking money from them.

Well - I did some outside slug removal prior to this so I am running late.

I love you all!

On afternoon edit: I felt better today than I have in a while (this last treatment kicked my ass), but I left work early all the same.  Why?  Because I get to work from home with my family when I'm not grumpy and sick!

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
