I read the news today, oh boy... October 8, 2022


 

It really is a different t-shirt this morning :)

What a mess my office has become.  I think today I will try to pick up a bit (as long and the things I am picking up are less than 8 lbs. The lifting restrictions are a pain, but I guess the alternative of multiple abdomen hernias sounds a bit worse.  

I have been keeping myself busy trimming bud and I have about 13 good sized masonry jars full and 5-6 small masonry jars.  Funny thing is I am not even done harvesting yet and I still have a good masonry jar (or two) on the drying lines.  I guess next year (that's right cancer - next fucking year) I only need to grow a couple plants :)  Luckily, I have some vacuum lids so that I can remove all the air from several jars to preserve some bud long term.  So far testing shows the final product to be good, but I really won't know until after the full curing process.  The longest cured bud now is about 1 week so I have some time to wait.  My minimum time is two weeks for cure with preferable time in months (which I will have with many of the jars as I have a lot of bud).  We are allowed to grow 6 mature plants between Tiffany and I - that has turned out to be a lot of bud with the right strain of weed.

So enough about my weed adventure.  I have been mixed feeling as of late.  I generally wake up a little swimmy headed (food, water, and diabetes medication helps with this), but feeling overall good with energy.  Unfortunately, by mid-day I get tired and my sugar starts to creep up if I eat anything with carbs in it (you know - energy).  So, by midday I usually could nap, but I have been powering through and not sleeping during the day.  This may be helping with nighttime sleep as I slept 5 straight hours of a 7 hour sleep last night.  All in all, I feel like I am recovery from surgery ok and that in a couple of weeks I should feel loads better.  I have to keep reminding myself that they cut my mid-section from sternum to groin - you don't just bounce back from that in a week!

Well, I need to get on with my day!

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
