It is almost the end of October already. I can’t say that I will be sorry to leave this year behind us soon, but I can’t say that just changing the year on the calendar will make a difference. What a year it has been! Cancer diagnosis. Cruise! Cancer surgery. Car accident. Daughter and co.…

My children are ridiculous! But I must say that this last thing has left me speechless. One of my kids decided that since the other didn’t unload the dishwasher immediately when told to, he was ‘weaponizing incompetence’. Seriously? Who talks like that? My kids, that’s who. And people wonder why I am losing what is…

Ah, living in the Pacific Northwest, where there is as much moss in the lawn as grass. At least the moss is green. After the hot summer, the grass is not. It went from 100* on Saturday to 58* today. Not a fan. I like sunshine. 100* is excessive, but I like warm weather. After…

Is still a long fucking paper. There are five chapters in a standard dissertation. One: The introduction. Easy peasy. Finished it in less than 8 weeks. Two: The literature review- 30-60 pages, including at least 50 references. Not easy. I try to be very concise with my word choice. You know, not using several words…

I have bunches and boxes of old family photos. The problem is that not all of them are labeled on the back, and I have no idea who they are or when they were taken. What do I do with them? I feel guilty even thinking about throwing them away, but I have no one…

JAWS has returned to the theaters for its 50th anniversary. I still remember when it first came out. I, however, have never seen it. I was too young to see it when it originally came out, and I love the water too much to have seen it since. It’s at our local theater, which is…

It’s been four months since the accident. Some things are better, some are the same, and time still marches on. The truck was totaled. Well, there was $18,000 worth of damage done to it, enough that the insurance said she was toast. Bye, Denver. You were an excellent truck, and my husband loved you dearly.…

So, Friday the 16th of May, I had finally found the sideboard/buffet I wanted to replace the island in my kitchen that I frankly HATE. I had found one at our local Restore store. My elder son and I had found it a few days before, did the measuring thing, and then I had to…

So, my doctor told me that the test came back ‘good’. What does that mean exactly? Well, despite the fact that I had 38% of my uterus showing signs of cancer (which I am told is better than 50%, which is where I roll my eyes and think really?) there was no sign that it…

Well, as the title suggests, I am back from my cruise. Actually I have been back for two long weeks. Also had my surgery last week. Well, almost 10 days ago. For those that haven’t been paying attention, it was a Radical Hysterectomy, including all the bits that make up a woman. Why? Endometrial Cancer.…
Shhh.... I have a secret
