I was talking to my brother, ranting about life while eating. I had not been hungry all week and then Saturday, I was starving and couldn't fill my tummy fast enough. Sweet, salty, spicy - I wanted it all. Mom found these organic tortilla chips that have like three ingredients (thus cancer-free approved). BUT we … Continue reading My brother is looking out for me…

The Domino Effect
This week is spirit week at school. It is always my FAVORITE week because we get to dress up silly and be really creative. Our kids are kind of lame at UAS. Unlike at Hendersonville where the cooler you were, the wackier you dressed, these kids think they are way too cool to dress up. … Continue reading The Domino Effect
This Made Me Laugh
There are little things that get me out of my current dark cloud mood. Maybe it's a picture of puppies on Instagram or a cat fail video. I smile demurely and typically move back into disinterest. Since laughing has become more and more infrequent lately, I am more inclined to notice when I really get … Continue reading This Made Me Laugh
Chemotherapy Number 11
We are down to the last two. I would be a liar if I said these are not really kicking my ass. Usually walking into Day Care is a pleasure - the nurses are all smiling and I am pretty mentally prepared. But this time, I just didn't feel good. I felt heavy. Mom was … Continue reading Chemotherapy Number 11
Leo Gets a Bath and I Get a Title

But in all honesty, it was just more legal stuff and a quick signature. The car was technically … Continue reading Leo Gets a Bath and I Get a Title
The Dark Cloud
My therapist walked me through the circles of mental well-being and stability. Cancer shakes you to your core. How long it takes for you to get to your core varies person to person. For me, it was the Monday before my 11th chemo. I spent the morning with my boyfriend, took my car to get … Continue reading The Dark Cloud
Holding onto the Perfect Days
At the beginning of treatments I had good weeks. Lately it has dwindled down to good days. And even during the good days there are still moments of frustration or annoyance because I can't do something or I don't have the energy or a period of dizziness comes out of nowhere or I am obligated … Continue reading Holding onto the Perfect Days
A Saturday Treat
I don't really know how it started, but Saturday lunches have become our eating out times during my healthy weeks. I think by that point, Mom is tried of cooking and I want something a little bad for me. So, we headed downtown to one of my favorite restaurants that has one of my favorite … Continue reading A Saturday Treat
