Pulling the Trigger
 Creepy Enola is creepy.
Last night I had an anxiety nightmare. The genre of this one is "I can't have good things," with a side order of "Help! I can't get to where I'm supposed to be!" I know exactly what triggered it, too. No, I won't discuss it, except to say that the person involved eventually did get s...

A slight cool off, and back to the photo grind
 (Above: Oak leaf prints and an acorn found along my walk this morning.)
Maybe for a couple of days. This morning was nice enough that I could g...

The Big Life and Health Update!
Well, the health part is not so big, except to say I'm improving, and that's absolutely fine! I'll get into that in a bit. Life is more interesting, and none of this is bad news!
Yesterday I renewed my passport. Nope, not going overseas, but it was time to renew it, so I did. But we have booked a trip! Getting through the last year deserved a reward, so we're knocking something off of the domestic travel buck...

Of Mice and Kittens and Watches
The cats have discovered toy mice. Eliza, in particular, loves to play fetch. Here she is returning the toy mouse or another round.
I think I wore out my pitching arm today!
This morning I swapped out the battery in so-called smart watch. It's been losing power during the night. M...

Getting Back on the Journaling Train
Well, I'm gonna try, but with a twist. This is my new Canon Ivy printer, with a couple of pictures I shot today. They definitely have a blue shift to them, but that's okay. The cunning plan is to try paper journaling again. Not the fancy, artsy craftsy stuff. Just pen, paper, and a picture or two. ...

Life/Health Update
I suppose it's time for a life/health update.
But first, cat tax!

What a Month!
SoonerCon went great, though I wore myself out. I was glad that I got our usual spot on the second floor, as the elevators were having issues all weekend. They weren't as bad as last year, though! I got in a lot of exercise by just taking the stairs.
We had a grand time. The radio play went well, too! I hope we can return next year. It was great to see old friends.
The real fun got underway Thursday, though, when I managed to close my finger in a g...

Where has she been? And where will she be?
Hi, I'm here, and I'm alive! Well, better than alive. As of my May scan, I'm cancer free!
I finished my final chemotherapy treatment on May 1 and rang the bell!
The doctor said it would take about 4-6 weeks before I started to feel better. Well, he was wrong. I started to feel better sooner than that! I suppose part of that was just the relief that the chemo was over with. I'm starting to get my energy back, but I'm still having neuropathy issues. Thos...

It's Been A Week
It's been a week here. Not in a bad way, though.
Back on Wednesday I believe I mentioned that I'd hoped to get through a current batch of photos by Friday. Nope, I only got through what was on the desk, waiting to be done on Thursday. And that was finished on Saturday. But there are very good reasons!
As I mentioned at one time, I have my genealogy software open while I do this. It's partly to fully identify people in a photo. (Mary? Which Mary? Seriously, one person'...

Updatery
Tonight's bowling on Chemo Brain:
137-148-159=144.
I had a 155 average going in. Won't be surprised if I drop it a pin.
Between the neuropathy and the sticky approaches, I'm okay with it. The approaches were sticky due to the humidity. They had the ceiling fans on high to help. It could have been worse. I kno...
