The phrase I would for today would be “common sense.” When I go home, I can live, but I have to be smart about it. I have to pay close attention to how I feel each day. I have to continue working out my legs. I have to continue my nutrition and watch out for [...]
I remember being exhausted when Jacob was a baby. Little sleep, constant breast-feeding – I thought I was going to lose my mind. The first night Jacob slept through the night in the crib in his own room, I was beyond ecstatic. Finally, I could sleep and believe me, I was a much nicer person [...]
Mom and I spent Monday night with the Peacock family. It was a fun evening, seeing Andi’s parents again after probably a decade. Michael made a delicious meal of baby back ribs and homemade mac & cheese; Andi’s mom brought the green bean casserole The kids were adorable and having a great time [...]
Today has been good. I got a lot of information, and I’m okay with it.
Mom and I are driving a rental car and Progressive has my car, which should be fixed within the next 3-5 days at no cost to us. Originally, it seemed that this was going to be an issue because Progressive (the [...]
My aunt Gloria, or Tia Gloria as I called her (Tia is aunt in Spanish), passed away Monday at her home. She was my mom’s older sister and only sibling living in the states. Mom is doing okay at the moment, but I know this is really hard on her; they were very close.
The two [...]
Today started out pretty normal. We had to wake up early – around 5:30AM in order to be at Moffitt by 7AM. I checked in at the BMT office, got my ID bracelet, and talked to our neighbors while we waited. I had my blood drawn - the usual 5 tubes on Monday. Then, I [...]
Because of my profession and being mom, I think I sometimes hide my “quirky” side. Maybe some would call me odd or weird or eccentric or eclectic or just annoying. Co-workers who have visited my classroom know I love to decorate with apples and smiley faces. Perhaps annoying because it’s bright and happy, but I [...]
I thought I would share some good news about my improvements but at the same time, I feel like I should share the plight of others. The sad news is really about the people I’ve met and it’s been a true learning experience.
Starting with my improvements, my hair is starting to grow back. I have [...]
My routine is off, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. First of all, I woke up Friday sick. Headache, stomachache – overall not feeling good. Mom had me take a nausea pill, but I still threw up. It was pretty much nothing because I hadn’t eaten yet. So I didn’t eat. I went to [...]
For a while now I’ve wanted to post pictures of my headgear, but I didn’t have a camera. I didn’t ask for one but Joel brought me our old one when he visited, helped me take pictures, and showed me how to upload them. I can now say that I’m not smooth-bald anymore. In the [...]
