I pretend that I am glad you went away... April 12, 2023


 There is a special guest in this morning's picture.  She likes to harass me when the dogs are outside.  The dogs haven't been real interested in coming in lately.  I am not sure if they aren't used to me as I had been gone for too long or whether I just smell so bad with all the wounds and liver drains.  It bothers me a lot.  

Enough about how upset I am about the dogs.

I wonder at times if anyone will ever look up all the first lines of songs I put on these posts to see what they are (or listen to them?).  If you do this one, listen to the Tony Rich Project version even though it is a Babyface song, Tony Rich knocks it out of the park.

I guess I am feeling a little better.  We went for a walk yesterday, I am not going to win any awards for endurance or speed, but I was up and moving right?  I look forward to being outside today again.  I haven't felt wonderful or anything, but I suppose I have to remember that I just got out of the hospital.  I am not sure if my sugars are in a constant elevated state or I just am out of whack.  I am not taking any medication for my sugar (per the hospital), but I need to follow back up with Dr. Elsisi to see where to pick back up. I suppose I should e-mail him this morning.

I suppose I should put in a picture of how thin I have become for reference.  I am down to 182 pounds which is lighter than I have been since 1993.  Holy shit, that is 30 years ago.  



Well, I should get at things while I still have some morning energy.  I don't seem to have as much as yesterday, but I am hot today which is a feeling I haven't had in a long time.

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
