  • This is life…

    From time to time I like to talk about my family and living with cancer here, and the shift one has in priorities and perspective that cancer gives you because I think it’s such a life shock into action type of experience, that it’s worth sharing. Last Tuesday, we had our post 6 month chemo…

  • Tuesday workout & Some Observations

    I went out for a bit last night to to a neighborhood holiday cookie/ornament exchange party. It’s hard to go off your routine but worthwhile on occasion.  I didn’t get back too late but did stay up past my normal 930p bedtime. During the party, people were assuming I would skip my workout this morning.…

  • Post Thanksgiving rituals

    So I did it. I ate my Thanksgiving dinner and dessert without limits yesterday and guess what? I ended up sick. My stomach hurt so bad that I had to leave a gathering early to go to bed. I am not the person I used to be, clearly. It has been so long since I…
