The Day that Changed Everything
I get a CTScan every three months. It’s a requirement, along with an echocardiogram of the chemo med I am on. Thankfully technology allows me to see the results as soon as they are read. Normally I get my CT’s early in the day and the results are listed within a few hours. Yesterday’s CT…

Skewed Perspective
I think I am a realist about most things. Facts are facts, and history does often repeat itself. This conversation with myself is not going in the direction you may expect. Having said all of that, why….. When I see myself walking by the mirror or on my camera I see a large woman. I…

Just a weird observation

When the Wind Blows
Got Up. Drank Coffee. Fed the Dogs. Took a nap. Not my normal way to start the day. I feel very heavy. Allergies? I feel like I could sleep another 12 hours if the world would let me. All plans for today cancelled. Well, okay. I didn’t actually have any plans for today. I don’t…

I Whisk I had an Answer
I have mixed feelings about whisks. They are such a wonderful handy tool to use in the kitchen………… but I had a traumatic experience with a whisk. I don’t remember what I was making but I grabbed a whisk and started mixing and then it happened. Brackish gross water dripped out of the whisk into…

Autism & ADHD & Acceptance
I stumbled across this interview this morning and I thought it was interesting. I watch (ed) both of his shows. They’re quirky but in some ways very real. When I watch them I see so much of my own family in them. I do not deal with ADHD or ADD or Autism for myself but…
