During my first experience with cancer treatment, I was surprised to learn that one of my fellow survivors timed her radiation treatments to prayer. She knew exactly how many Hail Marys and Our Fathers she could recite as the radiation machine did its thing. I didn’t have anything nearly as organized to keep track of…

The world is weird
Every day, I listen/watch/read the news and I wonder how my country ended up this way. Enough political commentary. I forgot to post last week, so no 5 things for that time frame. Here are 5 things that are happening this week. Game night tomorrow! Featuring cooperative games. It’ll be fun! Had the ‘dry run’…
5 things – 4th week of January 2017
Howdy. 5 things: 1 – I’ll just leave this right here. Cutest tweet war EVER! 2 – Board game night hosted by me and Turbo on 1/28. 3 – Consult with radiation oncologist. SPOILER ALERT: I’m getting the radiation therapy. 4 – Planning appointment with radiation oncology. Turns out that the targeting tattoos that I…
It is my Destiny…
5 things going on in my life this week: 1 – Ohana gathering with friends this Saturday night! We try to get together monthly, and lately it hasn’t been very regular. 2- Aether Revolt pre-release report: I went 2-2 and then dropped. It turned out that if I hadn’t dropped I would have placed because…
New Year, New Goal
It’s a couple of weeks into 2017 and I have yet to post. I’ve decided that I’m going to post regularly (hopefully) about 5 things that is happening in my life. Taste buds are almost normal again after chemo, so I’m finally eating Mexican food again! Magic the Gathering pre-release for Aether Revolt is this…
2016 can just be over now
When people talk about 2016, people focus on the beloved celebrities that have died during the course of the year. There have been so many. And for some reason, Carrie Fisher hurts me the most. She was STABLE, dammit! She shouldn’t have died. Maybe it’s because she’s a link to my childhood that’s now been…
Friday Drive By Post
I love the fact that I can wear any wig of my choice to my workplace on Fridays. I can’t think of many places that would condone cosplay wigs in the work environment. It almost makes being bald due to chemo worthwhile. Today’s hair – short and white. Because why not?
Bad at documenting
I had planned to take a photo before all of my major appointments. It turns out that I simply cannot remember to take the photos before all of my major appointments. It’s like I have some disease that makes me so averse to selfies that I even forget ones that I meant to take.
Pokemon and other news
Pokemon Go’s combat technique confounds me. I made my first visit to a gym yesterday and got crushed. Luckily it was a Team Mystic gym, so there was no real damage done to my pokemon. In other news, I had my MRI on Saturday and am waiting for results. I have an appointment on Friday…
Gotta catch em all
In all seriousness, I want to thank the folks at Niantic for their timing. They released Pokemon Go! last Thursday. I know have something that I can do that gets me moving and distracts me from my cancer diagnosis. I currently have 35 critters in my pokedex. I am level 10 and have not yet…
Origins 2016
Heading out to Origins Game Fair after work today. I’m super excited! I even colored my hair for the occasion.
Channeling my inner Poe
Last night I decided on a squadron for X-Wing. I had originally wanted to stick with the original trilogy ships, but I eventually went the way of The Force Awakens. Namely the T-70 (2 of them) and Poe Dameron. I really don’t have any expectations of doing well against someone who has experience, but in play…
