I'm on my way, I'm making it... July 3, 2023


 So, yes, I am wearing the same T-shirt as yesterday, but in my defense I am about to go to the dump and why dirty a new T right?

Speaking of new T's I should save this picture in this blog just so Tiffany can see it later.


It is a shirt that Jamie got me.  We had some laughs about Tiffany cupping my balls in public.  The shirt is funny and Jamie is always trying to make us laugh.

It has been raining non-stop for a few days.  Most of the plants like it, but I don't think the grapevine does as it hasn't had time to dry out at all so the roots are getting a little water logged and it won't start any growth.  This makes me sad.  The rest of the garden seems to be doing fine and the brussels sprouts are going crazy.

Here are some new flowers I planted and what happens in the mulch when there is too much rain:




I have been feeling ok.  It is always that way as we get closer to the end of chemo week(s).  I go back on Thursday for double treatment so I will try and do some work this weekend, but I probably will not be able to work like I have been.  Either way I got a lot done on vacation and the better thing is I got some time to sit with Tiffany (no stress) and Maeve.  We played some Yahtzee on the deck, sat under the gazebo in the rain, and just enjoyed each other's time.  I am a little pissed the grill didn't come, but I will live.

Well, I have to go check on the indoor plants and some other things.
 
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
