Its my cancerversary. Strange statement eh? It means that one year ago I got that dreadful and unexpected news. What a year its been. Ive had a ton of support through this process but it has been a challenging year to say the least. 9 months of chemo, 3 surgeries, radiation next, weight loss, weight gain, weight loss, exhaustion and sadness and fear like Ive...

love the snow today. I don't love the cold but if it's going to be cold, glad we have real snow on the ground. It helps cover up this FILTHY city.
My neighbor shovelled us both. Good thing because I am in no way able to shovel without doing some damage to the ta-tas.
I'd be pretty psyched if work were closed tomorrow.

You and I both....the work closed thing, not the damaged tatas.
Nice to talk with you today!

Good luck with work closure! How did the tatas fare?
Merry freakin Christmas.

And, a happy freakin new year
As mentioned before, I'm not into the whole Xmas thing. I mean I'm psyched to spend time with my "friend family" as always but I refuse to get caught up in the hoopla too much.
This year I made all my gifts. Pretty bags for the ladies,and pjs for the guys. There are so many cool fabrics at Spool (for the ladies) and some pretty...

Risotto doesn't really hold up when transported.
You're more than welcome to make me it, though!
I too am not a Christmas kind of guy. Santa died three years ago as far as I'm concerned.
Even before that the commercialization of it turned me off to the idea. Idiots rushing to stores for Black Friday. End of the world if a gift didn't get purchased.
Makes me kinda sick.
Yet, I have a Christmas tree. The way I see it is that the cutting down of a tree is good for the environment. New growth cleans the air. Old trees make great mulch.
Circle of life..

first day back at work after my two-hour radiology appt. Just when I start to forget or start to physically feel better...there it is;the "C" word! I think that's why I'm so open about breast cancer. It shouldn't be whispered like it used to be. We need a cure and now.
Also, I honestly never knew I could get it so young. I've met girls...

Zero signs? Thats great news!
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! jesus christ it's cold! I reallly need that wood burning stove!
However, it wasn't so many years ago that I lived in a sick loft in N. PHilly that had no heat and THAT winter was effing brutal. got out of bed and could see my breath. We did have one kerosine heater I would sit by with the dogs to warm up though....

I'm good. Busy but good. We really should get a beverage or food or something while I'm local, it would be nice to catch up.It's been ages - interested?
stiles:
Pretty much any afternoon/evening would work although the weekends are hard to predict ahead of time. Whatever works for you. Do you still have my number?

back to work next week. however our HVAC unit has shit the bed so I will be remotely managing my branch. Perhaps I should get a megaphone so I can shhhhhh from a distance. Librarian humor...no?
I am ready to go back but I will miss my afternoon naps in a BIG way!

winter is here...eh?
I really don't mind. It's much milder in Philly than it is where I grew up. They just got 24 inches overnight.
I miss the damn daylight though. Makes me want to sleep too much.
I do like making tea, knitting, and listening to some good tunes.
I'm also fantasizing about my next vacation and how awesome I'm going to look in...

I feel like I'm at a crossroads. Clearly I am. My body feels foreign to me. Not necessary bad just strange. I wake up evey day and think..wow this is just bizarre that this is me and my life. I never imagined.
Anyway...recontruction is in process. I will do radiation probably in January. Then take some crazy meds for five years so that this shit...

Hey Dude, I love the waves, probably why I can't leave Portsmouth, I'd miss the sea too much.
I hope the reconstructive surgery goes well, and the "make-your-boobs-look-awesome" job will be super cool.
You're a real hero, thought you should know.
Wushu however is form of modernised Kung Fu for performance. It's really a blankett term for all Chinese martial arts, but it has slowly become a form in it's own right that mixes other forms of kung fu into a routine for exhibition. It's romanticised and over the top.

Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year. I know it's a shocker right? I would like a wood burning stove and a hot man to go with it. Please and thank you!

How was your Christmakwanzivus?
And don't worry about medical bills -- they are the least damaging of all things on your credit and you can make obscenely small payments forever.
