Yeah, I know, I totally missed April, didn’t I?

Sigh! Let's face it, gang, I'm kind of out of the blogging habit right now! Sorry about that! I know, I know, when I first started this blog I was posting every week (even sometimes mid-week, when I was feeling really ambitious!). A big part of that was that I had an actual goal for …

Is that gal EVER going to update her verkakte blog??

It's probably true, as both nutrition experts and fat positive activists have warned for decades, that there's no perfect diet, that most people who try to lose weight wind up regaining it all and then some, and that, frankly, most people (mostly women!) who think their bodies aren't "perfect," are really just great the way …

Oh heck, okay, I’ll write a blog post then!

Yeah, sorry, I keep intending to write another post, said intention having been "at least once a week," but looks like the last one was [squints] January 24, and here it is February [squints again; man, I really need new glasses] 21st! Part of the problem is I really don't have anything interesting or exciting …

Slow running and bad poetry, all in one place!

Hey, everyone! Sorry, I know I've been remiss in posting on my super wildly popular blog here at WordPress. But today I'll remedy that omission by telling you that not only did I do a really nice, long (for me!) run today (over 5,000 steps/1.5 miles, thankyouverramuch!), I also composed the following horrible poem when …

Nobody got time for that!

Hey, everyone, and happy almost New Year! I was all set to post one of those seemingly obligatory end-of-the-year retrospectives, chronicling my journey from breast cancer surgery in January through the radiation treatments in March and April and all the way through to the colonoscopy in November, and then this morning I had a revelation. …

It’s all behind me now!

Hey, everyone! Yes, that's right, my colonoscopy and all the associated prep has passed through my system and now I can relax for another 10 years till the next one! Although I'd like to believe they'll come up with something a little more, shall we say, dignified by then? Or at least less invasive! But …

I want a colonoscopy for Christmas, which Weird Al never sang but totally should have!

Hey, everyone! As you may recall (or as you may not know, if you don't know me personally, which is a lot of you, so hi! Thanks for stopping by!), I work part-time for a transcription company, where I create audio tests for new transcribers. Thought you might get a kick out of reading a …

Gettin’ things done and makin’ plans!

Well, hey howdy y'all! How the heck are ya? I'm just relaxing after a semi-busy week. Had my PAP smear yesterday, which went fine. The doctor was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Then today I had a follow-up visit with my radiation oncologist at the City of Hope. Everything's lookin' good, she …

What a week! (and Lemon, it’s finally Friday!)

Whew! Well, those of you who follow me on Facebook know I left a rather cryptically worded post a couple of days ago, to the effect that Wednesday had been a bit of a roller coaster ride. First, for those of you who are easily startled, let me reassure you that, as of right now, …

Doing another charity walk, yahoo!

Hey, everyone! Would you believe a SUNDAY blog post? Haven't done that in a dog's age, eh? Anyway, I'm making this a quickie to let you know that I've signed up to do the two-mile walk version of the "Miles for Migraine" 5K in Los Angeles (technically, Encino!) on Saturday, November 12, 2022! If you've …
