I've learned a lot of things as I've gotten older. It took me a while, but I learned this is true. They will tell you that the pen is mightier than the sword, but you can set someone on fire with a lighter. Sign in to see full entry.

Better Late Than Never
This day got off to a good start, but as we all know, things can go bad in the blink of an eye. I had another visit to the chemo ward, but I wouldn't be getting a treatment until tomorrow. I was about ten minutes from the clinic when someone turned across the lane in front of me. It was only my EMS... Sign in to see full entry.

***BUSTED!***
Apparently, the police did a "take down" of the bad guy this morning down the hill in the next block. I counted at least fifteen law enforcement vehicles, and I'm not sure how many officers. We knew there were drugs being dealt from that block due to the sheer amount of traffic in and out of a very... Sign in to see full entry.
"I'll be back."
I will be back to make a real post here in a bit, but we have big excitement in the neighborhood. I'm unsure what is happening, but we have a dozen police cars at a house just south of us. We are watching the action from our backyard. They are carrying rifles and all kinds of "weapons of... Sign in to see full entry.

I forgot that I had a pre-chemo doctor visit this morning until their office reminded me to bring in all my current meds. Whew! I made it exactly on time. I have an appointment on Wednesday at noon, so I will post early and then be out the door. We both have a six-month follow-up visit on Thursday... Sign in to see full entry.

If I had to pick one word to summarize last night's night, it would be COLD. Now I realize that in Newberry, where we previously lived, it was 9 degrees, but 35 when the humidity is extremely high makes 35 feel more like nine than nine did. We got through the night all nice and warm except when I... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have So Much to Catch Up On
I wrote about my bad case of writer's block, but the one thing I did keep going was collecting grief quotes and random thoughts I could use to make my grief Vella grow. As I added the one to my list and posted it here, I realized I have over 8500 gathered words that will make at least 15 new entries... Sign in to see full entry.
Oh yeah. This will make two whole days in a row I've posted. Can ya believe it? It is both cold and raining this morning. Our older dogs went outside, did what they had to do, and came back inside. The two pups on the other had looked outside and came back in. When I tried to get Zeus, the 'little... Sign in to see full entry.

"Proof of Life" Post
Kidnappers are often asked to send "proof of life" photos, so when Annicita called me this morning, I promised her I would make a "proof of life" post. Since the hurricane of August 30 last year, I have "hit the wall." I wrote about 4800 words the day before the storm, a relatively common level for... Sign in to see full entry.

LOL... you don't even wanna know! I thought to myself early this morning that I would get up, warm up the ol' PC, and do all of my Blog-It-Ville stuff right off the bat. That isn't how it all went down. I had loaded my grief and quotes and was about to start running my keyboard here, and the... Sign in to see full entry.
