So you think that it's over... August 8, 2023


Sorry I missed a few days.  I was pretty sick post chemo, but just starting to feel better today.  Good news from blood work as everything was back to normal.  I like that.

The garden is looking good even after all the bugs on the brussels sprouts.  I am happy to see the grape vines back and the blackberry is spreading well (I'll need to try and take a cutting of that one).

Am I being lazy just posting pictures... Pretty much, but it shows I am busy and doing things:

Down at the Astoria the scene was changing... February 12, 2023

So I've been up for a while (since 2:20 AM).  Sitting in the man cave and listening to the Kids are Alright During Magic Bus I remember how I used to listen to that song on the way to Tiffany's house on the Chemung County Transit Bus.  It was my Magic Bus that got me to her.  I was so in love with her, in lust for her, and just absolutely entranced. She loved The Who and I listened to this album (on cassette) all the time because it made me think of her. You wouldn't know it, but this little bit of blog up to this point took me 10 minutes to write.  Not that I have a stream of consciousness block, but because I need to let the dogs out and in every 2 minutes because BARK... Yesterday was a strange blur.  I ate a lot is all I can say.  I did get Minecraft over to a new virtual server as the old CentOS 7 server was no longer security upgrade capable.  So there is that.  Tiffany ran around a lot (pick up Maeve, food, etc...).  She (Tiffany) is j...

Hang all the mistletoe... December 9, 2025

It's Christmas time again - If you've read through all this, then you know I used to do these little milestones.  Yeah, I'm not doing that anymore.  Hell, I don't anything about where I am in the span of things, but I will just continue to persevere.  It is hard sometimes, but I get accustomed to a new normal and I keep plugging forward. This is going to be a weird Christmas.  Maeve is going to California and Gusty has her family, our family is dwindling, and it is a little sad.  I suppose this happens to everyone, but rather than let it bring me down, I am going to focus on all the Christmases that came before and the joy that brought to me.  It isn't about today, it is about yesterday and tomorrow.  Experiences and hope...  It is always about experiences and hope. As far as my health goes, the pump is out of my gut and that has helped a little (the discomfort part), but my insides seem to be pretty messed up.  I suppose it is to be expected...

Colors seem to fade... April 27, 2022

  I wonder if you all notice the Hue lights changing colors behind me.  Today's theme is blue plane so I try to match the fireplace to the light theme.  Fun stuff.  Combined with my happy light I try to find things that make my spirts brighten or relax.   I have been feeling really positive with hearing Sloan wants to do some further work other than just straight chemo.  Every one I have read about the survived a similar diagnosis as me has had the same mental approach and some similar treatment paths that started with standard chemo and then some combination of new treatments and surgery.  So I am keeping up my energy and my healthy eating to ensure that I am a candidate for whatever is coming in 2 months. My brain has been pretty foggy lately.  I know that is the chemo, but I hate it.  I pride myself on being witty and quick, but those thoughts seem slower lately.  I have been doing an ok job with keeping the "there is no tumor" a...
