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:

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...

… Think about it, there must be a higher love... 8/4/2023

Day after chemo is hitting pretty hard.  My motivation level is super low and I am feeling a bit sick.  I could probably power through it, but I don't like half-assing my work day.  The later mornings are making my wake up and walk time later.  I don't like that, but it is what it is.  I am going to head out shortly and take some pictures to put on here.  So I'll be right back sunrise isn't for another 10 minutes so I should catch it popping up if it isn't too cloudy Here is a picture of my favorite plant from this morning: And here are some pictures from the flower/herb gardens: I think a got a lot of work done this summer thus far.  Not as much as I would like, but things are moving along in the yard. Well, going to get to work. I love you all!

The words I have to say. May well be simple, but they're true... December 7, 2022

 Really need to retire this sweatshirt for the rest of the week.  It is just over my other shirt, but I bet it can stand on its own.  It is bag change day and I am so incredibly thirsty this morning.  I am going to wake Tiffany at about 4:30 maybe I will be able to get a couple more hours of sleep in after as I am pretty tired. I should just do it myself (the change that is), but Tiffany has become so proficient at it and I would be relegated to using a mirror most of the time leaving me with only one hand to work with.  We haven't done the process standing up in months so grabbing things off the counter and sticking them on me while standing is a possibility, but we get better results when I am laying down. So the steroid sugar effect was really bad yesterday.  My blood sugar was so high in the car that I was pretty sure passing out was a possibility (like when we stopped at the New York welcome center).  With my blood sugar over 300 (which has only b...
