Feeling some kind of way tonight.
All I know is the next person who tells me "omg, you're so strong!" is getting drop-kicked.
I know I am, because I didn't have a choice. I never have a choice, I just have to keep going.
Especially when I just don't want to.
It's going to be in this 90s here this coming week.
Porch Goose is ready for it.
You can't be sad with your hands in the dirt 🌿🌱☀️
Garden Part I
🎶How much is that possum in the window?🎶
(Cause I'll take him!)
(Have I also booked a tattoo appointment for May to celebrate? You bet your sweet fanny I have 😂)
Yesterday was the last radiation treatment. All that's left are the immunotherapy infusions once a month until October, and adding a new pill daily for horomone therapy for 5 years. And scans of some kind every 6 months or so.
I'm tired. I'm sore. But the hardest part is over and I'm done!
The falcons are back and the first egg has been laid!
Dad loved watching these guys.

I don't want to brag, but I noticed that velocity couplet about 5 minutes before the tornado warning popped off. Being a weather nerd for 40 years has paid off in odd ways.
Why did I get teary-eyed watching Huntrix preform "Golden" at the Oscars?
Let's play a game -
Who in the General Assembly do you think is most likely to own a labubu?
My vote is for Senator Roem!
Pro: the weather is gorgeous and spring is imminent!
Con: the Pollening is revving up and my head is not vibing with the pressure swings.
It's been warm for like 2 days and all I want to do is dye my hair and get tattoos.
Bennett is so used to the NHL letting him get away with all his shady play that he seems to not understand why he's in the penalty box in the Olympics 😂
Not McSteamy!
I have about the dumbest question in existence.
Can I use false, press-on lashes if my natural lashes all decided to fall out at once a month after chemo ended?
@eitmonline.bsky.social The eagle in the budweiser ad was Lincoln, the eagle that flies over at Eagles home games!
I put on makeup for the first time in 3 weeks today to go into the office.
And that's how I learned that I'm missing clumps of eyelashes on each eye AND most of my eyebrows. 4 weeks out from my last chemo treatment.
Paclitaxel, you raggedy bitch 🤦🏼♀️🤣
Today, I got to ring the bell. Chemo is over! I'll still have to go every 3 weeks for immunotherapy infusions, but those are quick and easy.
On to radiation!
Today is not a great day. 2 years ago dad left us. Now 2 years later I'm spending most of my day being treated for a different type of the disease that took him from us.
I can't stop thinking that neither of us should be where we are today.
Second to last chemo done. I can't get excited about it, especially knowing that some form of treatment is going to have to continue for 5 more years past this.
My response today is all of the above, plus crying and (irrationally) thinking that this is a test, and once I don't deliver up to impossible standards, they're going to use it as proof that I should be fired.
I've got 5 years left in this treatment cycle. I hate it already.
My response to this project a year ago would be to pull an older order, use it as a template, plug in what language and citations I can, and ask questions as I go.
I got asked to draft a pretty complicated, intimidating order today. It's a rush job. I don't completely understand the topics under discussion but I don't particularly *need* that understanding, I just need to convey what the judges want me to.
Being off of wellbutrin (because it interferes with the hormone and immunotherapy drugs, fucking cancer) is fun. Case in point:
They told me that most of the time once chemo stops so does the neuropathy, but staying on top of it is the best route.
4 more rounds to go!
It's not severe, it just feels like the tips of my fingers are just slightly starting to go to sleep. No pain/tingling, and I still have full sensation. Hopefully the ice packs will help (it's supposed to work the same way the cold cap is), but I'm going to send oncology a message just in case.
I've started to develop a little neuropathy in my fingertips (a side effect they warned me about), so today I used the cold packs for my hands and feet (and stayed awake to put them on once the Taxol started!). I had to take a short break here and there, but I kept them on for the entire hour!
Infusion 8 is done. I got a big comfy chair (and my favorite nurse!) today 😊
I mean I get why he didn't but still. It irritates me to an irrational degree 😂
