For the first time in forever, it was a snowy, windy, and slow commute to work. While this might night sound like a reason to celebrate, this is fantastic, considering that I live in Michigan and it was 58 degrees F on Christmas Day. Hopefully the cold weather will remain through to spring. Breaks in…
More Tracking Items
Decided on adding “Board Games” as an item. Because board games. Of course, this will apply to all tabletop games (miniatures, CCGs, LCGs, etc.) – I had written “Board Games” first so it’s gonna stick that way. I think I also need to add “Study”. This will apply not only to my PMP but also…
Bullet Journals?
I know that bullet journals are very popular, and I have a journal that I will be starting in the New Year with bullet entries. I’m trying to wrap my brain around topics for a “Tracker Page”. Obvious choices are medications, exercise, various crafting activities, etc. I’m still working on the others; it may be…
Conspicuous Consumption
I am a dream consumer, especially with regard to Apple tech. On Friday, I not only bought a new iPad Pro (to replace my iPad that no longer has enough room for my programs) but I also purchased an Apple Watch series 2. Because things. I love both items, although some things are giving me…
Keeping time
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…
Aquaphor is my Friend
My weekly 5 things: I have a cold with a very VERY runny nose. Hence the Aquaphor on my nose to help soothe the chafing. As of today, completed 9 radiation treatments. Had my biggest “OH SHIT!” moment at work thus far. Learned how to use the STRIVE machines at the YMCA. Watched a friend breeze…
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?
