Ok, ok, maybe a few people are awaiting pictures of our family enjoying our final frontier…you’ll just have to wait because I am a picture SPAZ and it will take concentration to get things in order and pick a few tastey morsals to post. Suffice it to say that the trip was incredible. For NOW,…
Off to Alaska
It was last year right about this time that I was in Arizona, B was in Alaska and our kids were home with friends. It was at this time that I was given a breast cancer diagnosis and wrote a letter to B and left it on the dining room table because we could not…
First day with that new breast?
I guess it was mid day before I stopped looking down and checking myself out in whatever reflection I could find. I was fairly symmetrical for the first time since November 10th, 2009. To be honest, I don’t know if I’m more self conscious right now with or without a breast on the left side….
Girls just wanna have fun
B and E are off to camping adventures in New Hampster. That means A, I, the katz and fish are left to our own devices.  Let the wild rumpus start! It was raining this morning, such a perfect Monday morning to stay under the covers with the purr balls keeping me company. Instead D and…
War of my life
I was walking by myself the other morning listening to music. The song below came on and resonated, hence today’s thoughts. (Not the best video, but I like what he says at the beginning and how intimate the venue was for the performance.) I just went to the mail box and there was one letter…
No news IS good news
Before I knew it, it was almost 2 weeks since the last entry. I saw a dear, fellow snow-loving friend at work who said that she checks the blog every Tuesday and Thursday and was so excited that there were no entries because it must mean all is well. (There’s a G.O. if I ever met…
For the love of Nancy
You may recall that I had been visiting my 84 year old friend during all of this. Well, Nancy’s life ended last night and it was on her terms. If we all could be as ready as she was and have our wishes known and followed as hers were, I, for one, would be very…
Alive
It has been such a terrific weekend. I don’t think the weather could have been more perfect for B and E camping or for the prom that A attended with her friend. (She looked beautiful and had a great time, by the way. We have a funny story about hair that one of us will write…
Tamox and Detox
Well, almost a week on Tamoxifen and I’m doing well. I really have not noticed any side effects yet. I have a long way to go in that department, but so far, so good. What more could I ask? As far as my skin goes, if you picture a rectangular patch from sternum to side…
My first haircut
A was born with a head full of dark hair.  She had her first haircut at about 6 weeks to get it out of her eyes. E had less hair, I’d say his looked like mine does now at about 9 month or so. We were not the parents who saved locks from the first hair cut. …
