Scooterific Wednesday

It was chemo day today. I brought my Fuji Apple, the latest pictures of my hole, and rode the scooter.

That sounds far simpler then reality.

When I pulled out of the driveway a few minutes before 6am I was wearing a fleece, my mesh jacket sans liner, my mesh pants and summer gloves. I made it to the town hall when I decided a jacket tactic change was in order.

I took off the fleece and put in the liner (it’s just a thin nylon shell). I also put on my yellow rain coat because it was low visibility fog conditions. With the jacket tactic change complete, I proceeded to get trapped at the traffic lights. The lights at 130 & Great Neck Rd North do not pick up the presence of my scooter, so I have to either a) run the red light when no one …

Long time

I’ve been coming to Dana Farber for so long this building wasn’t even a hole in the ground. Now it has windows!

Letting go?

I have another website that I really don’t do anything with. I was going to just let it die quietly. That was the plan.

The other day I got an email from a stranger asking about the site. It got me thinking that I should revisit the website, maybe keep it going a little longer.

I’ve spent some time today getting new hosting (to save money) and creating a new look. Actually, I haven’t really fixed the new look, but I have thought about the new look.

I did take a computer break and take Diez for a walk. When we got back home he was teased by a few fuzzy kitties in the yard.

Now that I feel like I’ve wasted my weekend, I’m going to throw a load of laundry in the wash and go shopping. I have to replace the used up whacker twine from …

Hello Sunshine!

It’s been so long since we’ve seen the sun, I think all the cabin fever has started to ooze out of our poors.

Of course all the drizzle and rain has encouraged insane amount of grass and weed growth. Diez’s outside pen became so thick with weeds and grass he couldn’t get far out to take care of business.

I borrowed PBJ’s weed whacker and knocked down all the green stuff in Diez’s pen. I started whacking the path out to Zippy Car. I was a couple feet from the Zippy house when Whhhhhiiiiiiizzzzzzzz…. the whacker ran out of twine.

I changed gears and finished up some signs for my dad. I also helped out at the stand for an hour. I really know nothing about plants, and less about fresh vegetables. But I did get the latest copy of Cooking Light in the mail (and it …

Going, going…

My hair is almost all gone. My little indicator patch on the top of my head is still falling out.

To make me giggle, a few friends doodled on my noggin at Thirsty Thursday. Check out the results:

Tracy was having so much fun, she drew the sun on the top of my head.

I’m sure much of it will wash off quickly, and end up coloring my pillow.

Trying to get back

After a few months of letting chemo have the upper hand, I decided to try and beat it up with a little kick boxing.

Not wanting to show up and be wimpy alone, I roped Sally into coming with me. We both took it very easy.

When it came to working the bags, we shared a bag together off to the side. We would have slowed the entire class down with our slow poked-ness.

When we survived class (with a lot of modifications), we chatted after wards for almost an hour.

Am I back? No. I had to take it easy, and that frustrated me. My brain is still full powered, while my body is only going 1/4 me power. I’m going to try and visit once a week, and just keep going slow. I don’t mind being “Baby in the corner”.

Update: Sally emailed me a …

Undercover construction

I haven’t been offering too many visual aides in the last few months. For the purpose of my construction description, I need to share a possibly very gross picture. If you are of a queasy stomach, do not view this picture of my cancer tumors.

All my tumors fall underneath my bra. For the last few months I’ve been using Always maxi’s (yes, with wings) stuck to the inside of my bra as the absorbent padding. One reason is that they are cheap, and versatile. The other reason is that they just work.

All this sticking in my bra is taking a toll on my bras. It’s also a little difficult to get the bra on while not overly disturbing all the cream and stuff I’m suppose to put on the little satellites.

Earlier this week I decided it was time to do something. I …

Two unrelated items

I lost the remote to my JVC head unit (the component that has the radio and switches between all the other component for the speakers). I’ve looked around in all the usual suspicious places.

I was in Falmouth after the afternoon project and stopped at Shaws. I know it seems silly to stop at a stupermarket so far from home, but Shaws carries Land ‘o Lakes sliced cheese (yellow, individually wrapped singles). I love Land ‘o Lakes sliced cheese. When you make grilled cheese (or grilled ham & cheese), the Land ‘o Lakes doesn’t separate into oils and solids.

Of course, like the frozen meatballs, PBJ is certain to eat most, if not all, of my Land o’ Lakes yellow individually wrapped slice cheese.

Maybe, in exchange for some cheese, I should have PBJ look for my lost remote…
