I happen to be one of the strange ones that don’t like the sun. Even when I wasn’t sick, I never liked the bright sun and opted for cloudy or rainy days. Often I hear people tell me how depressed they feel when it was cloudy or rainy out. Yet, I always felt energized by Continue reading

I am grateful for a do-over birthday with S. I had to cancel and reschedule because I was undergoing my first round of chemo at the time. Auntie K took her for a day out which was wonderful and today we got to cash in on our rain check. As we dined on the array Continue reading

Not feeling a million bucks but at least 500K though (hence my post naming). Fog is better – back on Metformin daily to help with the blood sugar. I have a follow up appointment to see if going on the ozempic is better. (Ozempic face + Chemo face and bald – I’m on my way Continue reading

The last few days I have been super foggy. I forget conversations, pills, time and even random situations. And the natural first thought was a stroke. My hemoglobin levels have been stable. Couldn’t figure out if it was lack of water or lack of sleep. Some moments of clarity but most often confused. Confused with Continue reading

Despite not sleeping well, I was the first one to wake up this morning. How many quiet mornings do I get? How many more mornings do I get to hear the quiet snores of my children? For some reason, the death of that cheerleader has stayed with me the last few days and I haven’t Continue reading

It’s 9:00am and I’m at a red light. I needed to pick up a jacket I bought for L. I look out the window to my red light and see people sleeping on the ground by the Wells Fargo. One of them is showering by the bench with baby wipes and the other two had Continue reading

It was way too sunny this morning for my walk. I just cleaned and picked up the house. I regret however cracking the garage door and letting the breeze through as the dog has howled and barked at every leaf, stick or spec of dust. I took my chances today at making a bean salad Continue reading

After years of studying French – this is how I am able to apply it. Applause. My friend G is in Montreal so I greeted her in French and it carried over to the blog. Last night was a painful sleep not only did S fall asleep next to me last night, she had the Continue reading
