The House just passed a year-long continuing resolution (CR) that includes a devastating 57% cut to the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP), which would severely impact the Lung Cancer Research Program. Contact your senators: www.lungcan.org/act.

I detest supporting the grift that is toll roads but my desire to shave 15 minutes off my commute today has me questioning my moral fortitude. My moral compass is weak when dinner is on the line.

Starting in a clinical trial for cancer is a storm of emotions for me. I’m happy and hopeful while terrified of the risks and side effects. I don’t know about you all but I think I need someone to blow on these dice. #cancer #thankscancer #lungcancer

Played Bolero in the car to pump up my kiddo for the day. I tried to get her into it by attempting to identifying all the instruments. She says, “ why you gotta bring Viola into it?!” I don’t know kid, I’m not a Conductor.

Chemo yesterday @mdanderson.bsky.social I made this at their art studio. I cannot tell you how great this place is. You can do a project there or take a kit with you. I’ve painted birdhouses, made music, started an epic cross stitch, and made a really cool friend. So thankful for this.

I yearn for the heyday’s of Wendy’s in the 2000’s and the great Sonic chicken sandwich of 2010. For my New Mexico friends, the Blake’s chicken sandwich of the 1990’s. Whataburger before the world discover it.

Some fast food franchise locations are better than others. Being an adult means having lived long enough to discerned which are the best locations and be sad when a new manager means the end of an era.
