  • What up, 2019?

    What up, 2019?

    I had 11 days off over Christmas and New Year! I usually love taking that time to reflect, plan, and look ahead at the coming year. This time I did a tiny bit of that, but mostly I slept, watched telly, played video games, cooked food, and basically did as little as possible. I obviously…

  • Love Matters

    Love Matters

    I am in the throes of emotional fatigue. The onslaught of horrific news, work stress, and some other triggers are just piling up and, try as I might, I can’t seem to do much but keep my head just above water from it all. Outside of the news bombarding everyone, I know that eventually things…

  • Cancer Update

    Cancer Update

    Since my post in April I’ve had my 6 month check up following my hysterectomy. Everything is super duper and I’m doing great post op. The oncologist on my case did mention the possibility of getting tested for Lynch Syndrome, probably due to the ineffectiveness of the hormone treatment. I have yet to make the…

  • Be your own hero

    Be your own hero

    It’s been a tough week on the media front. Maybe it’s been a tough week for other reasons as well. Personally, this week has been a challenge in a few ways. Returning to work after a lovely holiday last week wasn’t too fun, it never is for me. I looked forward to coming home, but…

  • Cancer has taken my fear away

    Cancer has taken my fear away

    At work I write a lot about the importance of protection, you never know what will happen, everyone can get cancer, etc, etc. But still you are always shocked when it happens to you, no matter how much you know it can. 2017 started off good enough, I had goals and I thought I knew…

  • Everything is awesome!

    Everything is awesome!

    It’s serendipitous that my operation was when it was so that my recovery was during the last two months of a really crappy year. I’m one of those people that likes thinking of new years as new beginnings in a way, and this year is just so much more than that. Because my recovery has…

  • Thankfulness

    Just because I am not celebrating Thanksgiving this week doesn’t mean I am not thankful. I will admit, I wish I was in Virginia celebrating it this year, partly because they are getting snow and man, I miss me a good snow storm. But I digress. I believe that everyone, everywhere has something to be thankful…

  • All Our Lives

    I thought “If I could tell her something I would tell her this There’s only two mistakes that I have made It’s running from the people who could love me best And trying to fix a world that I can’t change.” – All Our Lives by Andrew McMahon I’m not entirely sure what I should…

  • 2014: Looking Forward

    I did do an inspiration board for 2013, but I never did post it. This year I will post my new one! I’ve finished it today, and I think I need a bigger board as I keep wanting to add more to it and it’s filled up! But then that’s probably a good thing that…
