Puerto Rico, you lovely island... June 28, 2023


 

So, I am not in Puerto Rico, but it does seem appealing.  It would be more so in winter as it is hot enough here for me.  

I haven't been feeling very well and I think my sugars are all out of whack.  I really have been sugar snacking way too much and I need to curtail that.  I suppose the good thing is that I have been able to put on some weight and I am up to 184 so now I can settle into a normal diet knowing that I am not unnaturally losing weight.

My insides feel like a wreck, but that may be associated with the eating poorly.  I'm going to try and eat a little better over the next few days and see how that goes.  

Other than the shitty insides (you see what I did there) and the lightheadedness, which I attribute to sugar in the body, I am doing pretty well.  I feel strong and I am going to try to do some work outside as I am taking time off from work.  I need a vacation where I am not recovering from a cancer surgery.

The outside garden is coming along, but I am upset about the grapes.  Between the freeze and the excessive early rain, the vine is struggling to recover.  Luckily, I started a second one which is growing at the moment.  Figured I would post some of the plant progress here (in order - Brussels Sprouts, Snap Peas, Brussels Sprouts, Blackberries):





and of course - Nala :)


Well, time to get busy.  

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
