i was going to work on breaking her of the habit of chasing after cars and trucks when we're in the front yard today.  unfortunately, at one point, i was concentrating on something, and she was closer to the road than i thought, and a truck came through.... and she jumped *at* it, instead of running beside it.  definitely got hurt on her paw, and ( Read more... )

I've been completely plotzed the last few days, which really sucks, actually.  The weather has finally shifted from 'inside the sun' to 'seasonally appropriate (ie, fall)' temperatures and it's perfect to go out and *do* stuff.... except i'm feeling too zonked.  I can't even stay in and stitch ( Read more... )

according to the calendar it is!  and that's... hard to believe.  I have, however, decided on a theme for this year's Mag7 prompt fest - zombies.... which may be a repeat, but i hope not ( Read more... )

For those of you who follow me, and have been wondering how I'm doing -

1) I'm sorry I don't post very much ever.

2) I'm officially in remission - on monitoring for at least a while.  Close at first, of course.  Mom and I celebrated by going to see Captain Marvel.  Good movie.

I started the 2017 list with a wish that things would get better - that obviously happened, especially with regards to health!  So, this is the 2018 list:

HOUSEHOLD MAINTENANCE
( yet another maintaining maintainer )

So, I cleared my 'to do' list so I could concentrate on writing fanfic for the Mag7 Christmas stockings... and I'm having a hard time getting motivated.  I'm actually having a hard time getting motivated to stitch, too, either on the machine or hand embroidery... it's kind of annoying, because it's the perfect time to do stuff, and I feel like I'm ( Read more... )

And my theory for stitching while waiting for the drip has... dripped away.  Part of the pre-med cocktail to help you tolerate the chemo drugs is benedryl.  The OTC version knocks me out pretty good... the dose they gave me knocked me kinda flat for 3 hours, and i wasn't in a brain-space to focus on embroidery when i woke up.  Fortunately, I ( Read more... )

i think it'll be 5, but i'm going to bullet-point this anyway ;)

*  My dog's new nickname is 'Blanket-Stealer' - somehow, despite the fact that she sleeps on top of the covers, and i have an extra blanky under the covers on my side of the bed, i woke up this morning cold, mostly *un*-covered, and worse, unable to scoot covers out from under the dog ( Read more... )

So, I had my post-op appointment yesterday, and unfortunately, the final pathology wasn't good.  Stage 3 cancer, grade 1 ( Read more... )
