Getting to the Point

Chemo-brain:  Now what was I saying?

On the upside,  I’ve learned to tell shorter stories, so when I get to the point of the point, I can remember what it was. ~ Anne Carlson

Mason jars are not just for jam

I came to the conclusion quite some time ago that once you have loved someone, there is some part of you that will always love them. However, it is appropriate sometimes, to put that love in a mason jar, screw on the lid and keep it in the cellar.

Sam hates commercials

Sam loves it but hates the commercials. Who knew they made videos for cats?

Wishes Come True

Someone asked me today what I want for Christmas.  I had to think about it.  I couldn’t really think of anything.

What I really wanted, I’m going to get, and that’s another Christmas.

How to Carry a Pizza

Directions on the pizza box on how to carry a pizza:  “Box must be right side up for best results.”
Thanks Dominoes, I’ve been staying up at night wondering about this.

Lint

Got out of the car and looked down my jacket and slacks.

Lint.

“Cheer up,”  I told myself. “It could be worse”

Smelling like Cat Pee

Dressed up and feeling good with the top down in my little miata.  On my way  to the university to finalize the workshop on my new book, The Next Step.

Wait a minute.  …

What’s that smell?  Oh no!  Really?

The cat peed on the car seat.

Choice:  Be on time for the interview and hope my interviewer has a cold or be late and smell fresh.    Being the risk taker that I am, I decided to be on time.

Workshops now scheduled for 4th Thursday of January through April.

Guaranteed to smell fresh.

Traumatized by the almost

It was almost a crises. So why do I feel so traumatized when nothing happened?

One time an 18-wheeler was heading right for me. My life flashed before my eyes, I thought it was the end for sure.  Missed me by a half inch. Nothing happened.  I trembled for hours afterwards and could hardly work the rest of the day.

It’s like that.

A Normal Day

Today was a normal day.   It could have been  brain surgery,  radiation, or a harsher chemo.   I could have lost my mind.  Literally.

But it wasn’t, and it didn’t and I’m not.

For the first time in over a year I played in the dirt and planted some spring flowers.

Today was a normal day.

Save

Today

It is November 2nd, 2017, and I do not have a brain tumor.

So when I left the hospital, I headed for the store and bought a 2018 calendar.
