Big wheels keep on turnin'... July 29, 2023 - part 2


 I guess I got a bit of sun today.  I did a lot of work outside from about 7:00 until 11:00.  Here is some of what I did today:

Cleaned up the herb garden and replanted the blueberry bush


Trimmed the pear tree out front


Dug out the ditch to help with a water flow issue


I also weeded the garden, cut down a bunch of weeds by the old dog shed, and trimmed up the shade tweed outback.  So I got a lot of work down in those 3 hours.

I miss having Tiffany here and I guess I do all of this so that she can like her home.  I could have done so much gardening and landscaping and I just don't know why I didn't.  I started to with the raised bed runs out the back door, but then I just stopped for some reason.  Laziness maybe, stupid priorities, and exhaustion from work - who knows, I just stopped doing it.  Now I have so much I want to do at home that I have a hard time focusing.  Cleaning inside, landscaping and gardening outside, there is so much to be done.  I suppose I should focus on the outside while it is warm as I will have all winter to clean the inside.

Well, the futbol game is on, gotta go

I love you all!

First time ever I saw your face... April 8, 2024

 Yes, that is War Games playing behind me :) Today is the near full eclipse here in Upstate NY.  Though we have a trip to NJ to do pump maintenance, we are going to stay and watch the eclipse before we leave for the day.  I have been in a funk lately and having a hard time finding joy in anything.  I through myself so hard into work the 10 years before my cancer diagnosis that I don't know what else I enjoy.   I lost a fellow cancer sufferer the other day.  He went pretty quickly once he went into managed hospice.  It is depressing to watch.  Jason was NED at one time, or at least thought he was.  I am glad that we never settled in too hard on the clear CT scans as I would be even more depressed than I already am.  It is really hard at times to find great joy when you are uncertain about your health. I suppose I should understand that no one is guaranteed a tomorrow.  I know about the infamous bus that might hit you, but mine is slowly driving down the road and I can't get out

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

There's something happening here... July 22, 2023

  I'm in this picture :) It is getting sunny outside as I never got up until 7.  It was so nice to sleep from 9:30 until 7:00.  It really was the best night's sleep I have had in a long time.  Must have been all the weed, food, and Ambien :) Things have been going ok.  I am trying not to stress upcoming scans at the end of next month, but it is so hard.  Tiffany and Maeve will be heading to TN Sunday.  I really don't like it when Tiffany is not home, I get lonely after a couple of days.  She helps me relax as otherwise I am incapable for some reason.  I guess I just don't know what to do with myself. I have felt pretty good other than the bowel issues.  I am sometimes concerned that the bowel issues are associated with new colon tumors, but I have to be patient with my healing etc...  I know I should eat better, but I have this munchies issue when I get stoned.  I was able to not eat the other day when I was stoned and that was a step in the right direction.  Chemo made
