Should’ve stayed in bed all day. Problem being, my bed isn’t comfortable enough to do so. But body probably could’ve used it as the day after chemo is exhausting. Puffy, red cheeks, fatigue, slight headache, muscle cramps. Seems to get worse after each new session. 😞☹️

🤣 was trying to remember the date of when I saw Paul McCartney perform at what was once called Joe Robbie Stadium(now Hard Rock Stadium) & Google AI said he never performed there. Yet the very 1st search result showed the date (4/14/1990) & set list. 🤣👇

Good thing IKEA used the 2nd part of the chorus for the Hannes song, “I Feel It” as I don’t think a drug reference would be great for their image. lol

Holy hell! I thought I was going to have to buy a new printer. Tried printing a recipe from, 1st my iPad, & then after many failed attempts & jams, 2nd, my phone. Nearly took the printer apart but 1st tried a firmware update. Bingo, bango, bongo, was finally able to print it. Whew!

In a just, kind, loving, & equitable country, black history would be considered American History, not relegated 2 just 1 month out of the year, but taught for 12 months in & out of schools. Those moments of history should be woven into the fabric of society & not hidden but used 2 learn 2 not repeat

Been looking in the studio for ways to make room & set up more as far as my instruments. Was looking to hang the guitars from wall hangers instead of on the rack, but really have no clear, open spaces on walls to hang them from. No real floor space to set up the keyboard or amps. 👇

Hoo! Had me some shrimp & grits at a theme park resort the other night that, hands down, was better than any other shrimp & grits I’ve had before. Creamy, cheesy, white grits with creole sauce & chopped andouille sausage over the shrimp. Even found a copycat recipe to make at home. 😋

Day after chemo feeling

submitted 14 hours ago • 0 comments

Another round of chemo is in the books. This one had the distinction of being the 1st time I got the urge to purge from both ends at the same time DURING the final half hour while it was still being pumped into my arm. Soldiered through & was able to make the 3 min trip home to hit the bathroom. 👇

The drive up & back to see my daughter wasn’t too bad. Traffic where I expected it to be & the usual idiots who zoom zoom and don’t get that much farther ahead. I kept a steady pace & was quite surprised I got a little over 26mpg with my 6 cylinder vehicle.

If someone were to ask me what I miss the most from home when I go on vacation, either a short or longer one, & it would have to be(sorry my fur babies) my bidet.

Got a new bag while on vacation. Needed to find something besides my old, trusty sling that would hold my iPad so I could bring it to treatments. My old sling is great, but iPad falls out too easily. New bag is more like a mini backpack, but has a sleeve for my iPad. 👇

What I was encouraged by at the theme park was seeing all kinds of people of all different shapes & sizes, enjoying themselves & being themselves. I nodded & gave the thumbs up to so many LGBTQIA+ people. They couldn’t see me smiling because I was wearing a mask.

I remember staying at a particular resort at a particular theme park & always seeing wild animals like deer & rabbits. Now, the only wild animals we saw were squirrels & a rat.

The only time people noticed me in my WC at a theme park is when they were giving me the side eye for wearing a mask.
