    In case you were wondering…

    Cancer sucks. Chemo sucks. Baldness sucks. Broken peeling fingernails suck. Dry mouth sucks! Chest aches suck! Exhaustion sucks! Nausea sucks! I’m halfway through chemotherapy! I only have 4 more sessions to endure. I hear that the new medication that I’ll be given is easier. I’m hopeful. The red devil is truly a devil. At times,…

  • To Laugh

    I’ve decided… I’m going to focus on laughing more. The more I talk to the people close to me, the more I realize that the death of my parents took me away from me.  As I am slowly healing, less people are afraid to point it out. I am not the same person I used…

  • My Way Home

    My Way Home

    I lived 6 different places before the age of 8. Lately, I’ve been thinking about those places, what they were like, what life was like, etc. I try to remember what my room looked like, the names of friends, my teachers. I do remember being home alone a lot. My mom worked. And we had…

  • Day 2

    This idea. This project. Day 2 and I’m on high alert. I’m examining each notable moment. Am I loving this? I am! Is this moment so great? It really is! This inner dialect occurred repeatedly.

  • Flop

    Flop

  • Father’s Day

    Father’s Day

    I have mourned the loss of my older brother for over 20 years.  He took himself away from us by suicide. I’ve mourned the loss of my mother.  Cancer robbed us of her. And what I have come to realize is I have also been mourning the loss of a person just as much a…

  • I fired my gardener

    I’m really curious to know if there are other individuals (ie. wives and moms)  like me on this earth, who maintain their own yards.  When we purchased this house, I had my mom’s gardener handling our yards.  We paid him $150 per month to come every Friday.  Ray was not thorough.  He also had a…
