Some are damned good things, some are fuckin' bad things...

Some are just things that make you fuckin' move through the cosmos...

I hit my 2016 weight goal...in January. Hey, fuck it, any progress is good progress. Clothes fit better, I can do more. Most importantly, my kilt fits again. So that's nice. Been training for a couple of mud runs coming up. Big thing is I really want to topple the warped wall on Rugged Maniac. I'm hoping by next year I can actually do monkey bars. That would be good.

I paid off my car. Something I can check off the being an adult list of shitty milestones Not a huge thing by any point, but that is a nice chunk of change I can throw at one of my many other debts. Now I'm just trying to sell it...so if anyone in NorPhoenix wants a 2011 Ford Fiesta...I got one to get rid of...

I got rejected for a home improvement loan! Another adult thing. This one kind of really sucks tho, because our credit report was just 2 points to the promise land. And our kitchen is literally falling apart around us. And just two days ago our fuckin' water heater stopped giving us hot water. So...good times. And cold showers.

I have gone 2 months and 9 days with out soda. This is pretty good for me. I went a pretty long time a couple of years a go when I did a juice cleanse thing. But this I didn't even start with the cleanse, I just jumped right fuckin' into it. And am surviving thus far.

My mother started her 5 round of chemo. They have also put her on another experimental drug that has been tested on other cancers, just not breast cancer that has moved to other parts of the body. This is one of those things that is both good and bad. I am truly thankful she's still around. She's been fighting this since 2011, with what looked like a complete remission in there. But, as life is, it spread. First to bones, and now they found out it is in also her liver. She has switched doctors...going from one who was just going to stick her from one kind of chemo to the next. Pretty much telling her all is lost. She left that one and went to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Where they actually treat her like a person. And are willing to help her as much as they can. Really helps that she keeps a positive outlook on life. She has no way given up on anything, even tho the chemo is knocking the hell out of her, she picks herself back up and keeps moving forward. That is some damn strength...

Anyway. That is an update. That no one should read. Or will read
