Last Christmas I gave you my heart... January 6, 2023


 We got wonderful news this week.  My CT scans show no signs of cancer.  My CT scans show no signs of cancer.  I had to write it twice to let it sink in.  2 years of all of this and I was getting so tired.  This is the shot in the arm I needed.  I say that as I don't think this game/war/battle is over.  I don't think it ever will be, but I will take this pause, armistice, or whatever it is.  All in all, it is a win.

I am not going to let myself get too excited, but I am also going to start being better about what I eat (more so how much of it) and continue to be good about the alcohol.  By bloodwork and other tests are all normal and I aim to keep it that way.

The one thing that all of this has made evidently clear was how much Tiffany loves me and how much I desperately love her.  I am not lying when I say that if it wasn't for her and the girls I can't guarantee I would have pushed through this as aggressively as I have.  

Well, I have to make some breakfast and clean up the living room.

I love you all!

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!

 So I decided to start adding a daily picture to the all the posts.  So here is this morning's: My Nala loves her mornings with me.  Pretty soon she will run to the kitchen to try and find garbage so I will need to type quick.   Today is the day I get my port installed.  I couldn't eat or drink since midnight.  The eating doesn't bother me so much, but I am thirsty all the time.  Yesterday morning I let myself slide into a bad place.  I Googled too much and thought too hard about the possible outcomes of my treatment.  It is what it is and I am going to fight through this.   I feel pretty good this morning and I worked outside yesterday cleaning up the dog mess.  It felt great to be outside.  When it gets up to 70 degrees on March 65 in upstate NY.  You go outside!!!  The sun was glorious.  I got a little overheated and hurt my lower back slightly, but it was worth the sunshine. I even had a small glass...
