I really understand why writers "go into the woods" to write. For whatever reason, I find it next to impossible to write if Adam's home––even if he's pretending to be invisible in the other room (which is awfully nice of him). The ideal setting for me to blog is alone in my climate-controlled office-studio, a… Continue reading Hot Pink Girl Summer

So I had my reconstruction surgery last Thursday, the 24th of June, and I stayed in the hospital for five nights afterward, so they could track my recovery and make sure nothing went wrong. And something did go wrong, to my surprise! I developed a thing called a hematoma on my belly, which had to… Continue reading Dang-Ol’ Update

Helloo friends and fellow lookie-loos! It's time for an update. Not just for you––I personally need a reminder from time to time that I have deep and interesting thoughts. Who do you think these blogs are for? You? Ha! Nope. They're for me. If I don't spill my guts once in a while, I honestly… Continue reading My Neural Pathway of Freezing Up (And How I Plan on Defeating It)

Greetings! I'm going to jump right into a topic, because my brain is bubbling over with thoughts. Okay, so I went to therapy the other day and we've started doing this practice where I record my "Stuck Points" throughout the week, and we talk about them, so I had my list of "Experience, Self-Talk, and… Continue reading ADHD Revelations and Thoughts on Breaking Bad Habits

I'm done with my third round of chemo! Only one more to go. Have I blogged about chemo yet? I can't remember. Yes, if you haven't heard of it, there is a thing called "Chemobrain." It means your brain is just kinda fried. Literally. Chemo's also frying my tongue, gums, mouth walls, teeth, eyes, hair,… Continue reading A Very Self-Indulgent Post

My time with the Scrabble app is coming to a close. It was fun while it lasted, but honestly, I just can't keep up! For a while there, I was on the app for hours every day, playing twenty games at once. I've whittled my games down to four, and two of them are almost… Continue reading The Things Going On In My Life

Hey all! It's Thursday! My second-favorite day of the week. Why? Because so many good podcasts come out on Thursdays. My favorite at the moment is called Haunted Places. It's a dramatic retelling of origin stories behind famous haunts across the globe. Very fun, if you can handle the host. I personally love him, but… Continue reading Chemo’s the Pits!

Well, I'm a little embarrassed, but mostly excited to share with you the news I received today. The cancer that was cut out of me a couple weeks ago was actually at stage IA. Iowa! Hah! Anyway, yes, it was IA, and not-- as I previously believed-- stage II or possibly III. I was confusing… Continue reading Carla’s Cancer Stage & Ideas for a Career

I survived! I'm a survivor! I can't believe I get to say that now, what a trip. I'm a cancer survivor! Honestly, I feel a little bad saying it, because my situation was/is so much better than a lot of others. Although I guess I shouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched; the coming months… Continue reading One Boob Down
