I’ve begun writing again! I decided to do this for 2 very important reasons.
I have stopped using my brain since becoming a full-time mom/chauffeur. I don’t know anything anymore. I can’t remember ANYTHING either thanks to CRCI otherwise known as cancer-related cognitive impairment. Chemo Brain! I feel so dumb. I used to be able to remember things! I used to be able to enunciate! I used to be smart.
I’m optimistic! Perhaps if I start using my brain again, circuits will reconnect, brain cells will regenerate and I can more easily recall the most simplest of words from the English language. Trust me when I say that I currently struggle with this!
It’s time to FINALLY DO SOMETHING WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL DEGREE signed by THE Arnold Schwarzenegger! This was such a big deal on campus at the time! He actually came and spoke at our school. As I think back to that time period, my one regret is that I did not save even one of my short stories I’d written. I wish I had. I’d love to compare the scholarly me to the motherly me that I am now.
Anyway, off to make my Mom proud.
Happy reading!
