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!

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

But before I talk about what's going to happen, let me tell you what has already happened, since last we spoke. My-Lady-on-the-Left cried… Continue reading Surgery Time!

Dazzle [ daz - uhl ] v.To impress deeply; astonish with delight. It me. When you guys dumped your buckets of love all over me. Thank you. Of course, I'm struggling to feel like I deserve it, but regardless, I see your love and I am dazzled. I've been trying to respond to everyone who's… Continue reading A Long-Winded Update

Finally, the excuse I've been waiting for, to indulge my anxiety and depression, eat however much I want of whatever I want, and receive pity and presents from my favorite people. Dream come true. Haha, just kidding. Except for the cancer part. I do have cancer. Just found out today for sure. I've personally known… Continue reading I Have Cancer

I think more than five people read my blog now! So, hi you six! This blog post doesn't have a subject yet. I'm hoping one will come to me as I write.
