    Guess who's napping again . . . . Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

    My poor Terry . . . still so fatigued after Hit #6.  A good FB friend of mine who has gone through chemo before suggested we go in for a blood check to see where he's at with his counts. She thought it sounded like he could use a little blood.  Not a bad idea, I suppose if that man I married wasn't convinced he's made out of steel.  He wants to go back to work…

    I've been absent from the site for a while but always feel like I have a home here.  As with many others, "No news is good news", right?  That's the case more than not; so, I'm no different in that regard I suppose.  Things, since I last "blogged" an update of sorts about my husband's Non-Hodgkin's Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (late Stage III/Stage IV) remission have been good.  We…

    Not too sure if anyone out there even reads half of what I post but writing a journal-like record of my thoughts and experiences is my form of “therapy”, I suppose. I’d like to think the things I’ve posted since my husband was diagnosed in 2018 have helped others more than it has irritated. This site has helped me work through so much and I bless the day I stumbled onto it. So thank you to those who have reached out to…

  • Can't stand football!

    My Terry is occupying himself, watching his beloved Packer football on TV this afternoon.  It's 2:30 p.m., here.  Because I despise football, I am here in front of my computer pounding my keyboard.  I had a few thoughts I'd like to share if you're interested.  

    The word "normal" came up a couple of times this weekend in a few comments, which triggered a few thoughts I have on the topic.
