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, … Continue reading What a week! (and Lemon, it’s finally Friday!)
Breast Cancer
Balancing “Body Positivity” with “Ouch, my bones!”
Well, howdy, friends, relatives, and well-wishers! As promised last week, I've got some thoughts on what to do now that my breast cancer seems to be cured. To whit, my weight!

Household Chess Master (Mistress?), and oh yeah, Cancer Survivor, Baby!!
Hey, everyone! Ever since my hubby and I watched "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix last year, he's been patiently teaching me the Art of the Board.

I think we … Continue reading Household Chess Master (Mistress?), and oh yeah, Cancer Survivor, Baby!!

Week Four — Out The Door!
It's done!! Yes, that's right, I've finally completed my four-week course of radiation. Five days a week for four weeks – that was almost like a job, man! A job which consisted basically of the following: 1) driving myself to the clinic, leaving early enough so that I could drive through a nearby park on … Continue reading Week Four — Out The Door!
Week Three — Almost Free!
That's right, y'all -- just three more days (including today) and I'm DONE with my four weeks of radiation treatments! Although that means I'll have to find some other motivation to get out of bed in the morning, especially since we just started Daylight Savings Time out here. Still, I'm gonna try to get out … Continue reading Week Three — Almost Free!

Week One is Done!
Hey everyone, remember just a few weeks ago when the biggest news story was about how sad it was that Betty White had died a few weeks short of her 100th birthday? Wasn't that a great time?

Finally getting the ol’ zap-a-roonies!!
Hey everyone! Sorry to be late with the post this morning, but it was super cold here in sunny Southern California last night, so I indulged in a little extra snuggle time this a.m. But here I am, wide awake and ready to face the day! And speaking of fallout, you'll be thrilled to hear … Continue reading Finally getting the ol’ zap-a-roonies!!
