http://chocolatedaydreams.blogspot.com/2012/02/this-side-of-up.html
Thursday, February 9, 2012. This Side of Up. I'm not even sure what that title means. Just sounded fitting. I've been informed once again, several times in fact, that I am not keeping this blog up to date. I am blogging twice weekly on my author's blog (if you aren't following there what's up with that? Okay, enough business. I know you all want the personal stuff. I've reached the point in this cancer gig that my typical interaction with friends goes like this:. So how are you? The upside is that I qual...

Tuesday, December 27, 2011. This post will be brief. Just want to report that Christmas was fabulous in that I was alive to enjoy it. And my children and grandchildren are the most beautiful beings on the planet. And I got a wonderful surprise that I'm told I am not at liberty to divulge quite yet. (Don't you hate when people do that? Sounds like the Brava system? Sending happy thoughts from Myrtle Beach. January 10, 2012 at 10:04 PM. Dr kold kadavr flatliner, MD, the sub/dude.

Monday, October 1, 2012. Or Welcome to Normal! Or No - That Cough Does NOT Mean You're Going to Die! I've been waiting for this day for THREE WHOLE YEARS! What's special about it? October 2012 to be precise. Which is three years from that ick, awful diagnosis. And the time that I get to turn off the paranoia. In a nutshell, my odds of the cancer returning (at which point it would be "largely untreatable") (I repeated that when the doc said it, and he said, "You caught that huh? That's in December by the ...

Tuesday, April 26, 2011. An Open Letter to the Treehouse Zumba Instructors. Dear Treehouse Zumba Instructors,. While trying to convince my clumsy feet to salsa the other day, I decided I ought to write you all a letter. But since I'm always in a frantic rush (even when I'm not in your class), I thought I could maybe multi-task and write your letter as a blog post. Hope you don't mind. So now the reason for writing. Again, those that have followed this blog know that even though I've been a Treehouse ...

Sunday, October 24, 2010. Our house has become a lot more masculine since all three of our girls have moved out. We're down to just the two boys, and despite their age gap (23 and 11) they manage to find something to argue about pretty much constantly. The latest being Halloween costumes. All other activities and interests ceased to exist until a costume was figured out. A spy was born. He proceeded to put on this outfit on the 2nd of October, and the 3rd, and the 4th. You get the idea. It was a beautifu...

Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Some Kind of Normal. I received a call today from one of my nurses. There are two of them who call to check up on me every couple of weeks. I can't keep track of which is which or who they work for, but they're both nice and so I try to make time to chat with them when they call. Today's nurse pointed out that today was my one-year anniversary. Apparently I had my biopsy a year ago today. WooHoo. Break out the party hats. Another part of my life that's totally different a y...

Saturday, June 18, 2011. You know how it is- if you blog or even if you journal or correspond with someone- how something cool or different happens- like maybe your child does something amazing and eventful or you just feel inspired about something or maybe you notice you have an inordinate amount of toe hair- and you think, "Hmm, I think I'll blog about that.". That's how it is with me anyway. First, my job. Which isn't any more. I was going along quite innocently thinking all was great at work. My ...

Saturday, March 19, 2011. Caramel too, with a note that it's the next best thing to chocolate. And she's right, it is fabulous caramel. Every item came with a cheery note. Monday, March 7, 2011. Big Huge Questions of the Universe. I've been pondering some things lately. This is stuff I have no answer for. Deep stuff. Troubling stuff. Stuff that keeps me up nights. I'd really like your thoughts on these matters, so if you have any, please chime in. Seriously, I don't think it's my imagination. I am sooo s...

Sunday, February 20, 2011. I feel much better today. Not that I'm settled, or even close. There are still rooms that are downright scary. But the major rooms are coming together nicely. And seriously, how can you not love this room? I did say major remodel, right? That is seriously major. Life is good. Friday, February 18, 2011. The Answer is No. No. No. Any more questions? The question of the day, the one I am asked by pretty much everyone I see is, "So are you all settled? Thanks for asking though.
