So, talked to the “Awesome Dr. Sean” yesterday and he informed me that my blood work turned up one of my blood levels was 1/10th of 1% abnormal. This is “NO BIG DEAL” and he said that most Oncologists wouldn’t even call about something this small.
He’s not most oncologists. Early on in our relationship I [...]
I KNOW! 2 IN A ROW!!?? RIGHT!? (Suck it naysayer dude.)
So- I’ve been obsessed with hiking lately. If you knew me- at all- you would re-read that sentence twice then check outside your window for the horsemen of the Apocalypse… I have openly and repeatedly expounded on the BANALITY and uselessness of hiking. As well [...]
So, about 100 years ago when I chose to start this blog and talked to someone about it- this was pre-cancer, when I was just writing to write… about me… they said- “Just make sure it’s not one of those annoying blogs where you see 2 posts, then nothing for 2 months, then a post, [...]
So, as I cleaned up three massive puddles of liquid dog crap off my son’s (thick) shag rug tonight, I couldn’t help but reflect on my life. (Strains of Sheila E’s “Glamourous Life” played in my head as I knelt there with EVERY cleaning product in my rubber gloved hands.) So- here’s how it stands [...]
Okay, so- to backtrack- the TRIATHLON was AMAZING. I was there with a few friends and had support and was in good company because it was their 1st tri as well. It was so exhilarating to wake up in the dark and drive out there to set up. It didn’t rain on us (thank God) [...]
I’m doing a TRIATHLON in 4 days…
Also, I am remembering that it was a year ago that I did the marathon… I ran (and hobbled) 26.2 MILES!!!
Sweet Baby Jesus that hurt.
Wondering what this latest insanity holds. Am trying to chill and just “HAVE FUN”.
(Not always an easy task when your natural, inbred inclination is [...]

…It all changes. So, the world is falling apart- Japan is destroyed, Oil is through the roof, we’re still in debt but- today? Today was a winner. Sometimes, I think back to when I was a teen (sober enough to recall moments) or in my 20′s-30′s and I’d daydream about: “WHERE I WOULD BE…” Where [...]
Okay- so the prolonged absence wasn’t all my fault. Some jackass hijacked the site and it had warnings and restrictions all over it. We couldn’t even get in. THANK YOU to Lorenzo for fixing EVERYTHING. (Email me if you want an awesome, honest website guy, BTW) ANYWAY- here’s what I can recall, update wise: Have [...]

Okay- been gone awhile, blablabla. Have been caught up in a malestrom of education issues and health issues. Health 1st: I’m falling apart. Don’t know whether it’s age or wear and tear but I have had this cold/sinus issue for 4+ weeks, then my gyne crap is set to cost us everything. (Need an IUD [...]

Well, we’re sequestered in the house for the weekend. Scout has had a ROUGH week. Last Thursday was her 1st trip to the E.R for 3 stitches (she was running away from ME while playing and looking over her shoulder, as I shouted for her to “Look FORWARD”, she did, just in time to nail [...]
