Those of you who've been reading my blog for a while are familiar with my stories about my journey with rheumatoid arthritis and my colon shenanigans. For those of you who aren't quite up to speed on that, just buckle up. And, perhaps read some of my past posts. You won't regret it. Or, maybe …
Healthcare Olympics
On today’s episode of what I’m calling the “Healthcare Olympics,” we navigated Macon in the rain, in a wheelchair, with one hand guiding the chair and one hand holding the umbrella. It is a wonder I didn’t dump Mama in the middle of the road. We have to get through this with humor so buckle …
Farm Work Day “After Party” 2.24.24
I just realized that when I was writing this morning’s “before” post that I wrote the wrong date. I was living in the future or suffering from an apparent caffeine deficiency. It’s actually wild that I caught this post-chigger-removal shower while getting into bed. What is a chigger removal shower? Well, it’s a lot like …
Something New
A friend recently told me about her idea to turn her property into an event center. Those who know me well know that made my heart skip a beat. Planning events is my jam. I believe I am good at it and I really enjoy it. I blame that on my mama and raising me …
Chasing Sunsets
I believe that life is a series of epiphanies that bring us to where we are supposed to be. Sometimes we have to endure the same epiphany like it’s new until we finally get it. I don’t have brain damage (unless you count the two concussions) that would make me learn things at a slower …
The Next Phase
The good news is in and I'll start with it. I have my pathology report and it looks like everything is good. No evidence of invasive carcinoma! Woo hoo!! I go for my official follow up tomorrow but at least I know that I don't have cancer. The bad news is that I have moved …
Fake Spanx and Colon Prep
I am officially of the age for horrible things to happen. Stop reading now if you are easily offended. There will be laughs but you will probably want to go laugh in a closet somewhere, kind of like a Baptist hiding at the liquor store. You do it but you don’t want anyone to know …
Feeding the Cat
This week has been a roller coaster of emotions, whirlwind of things to do, and all around stressful. With Mama being in the hospital, we've worried about Boy, the 27 1/2-pound anti-social cat. Boy can't be boarded after his last event with the vet's office. In fact, I'm sure they hate to see him coming …
Cats O’Plenty
Mama is feeling so much better than last night. I can tell because her breathing is not like Puff the Magic Dragon on crack. Last night, it was pretty messed up. But I can also tell because she is telling everyone that comes in the room stories and tall tales of days gone by. Thanks …
Walmart Sacks and Thunderstorms
Tonight there have been severe storms with heavy rain passing through our area. Lightning has been flashing and thunder crashing. It’s been a long, hectic day. Mama had a health scare and I brought her to my house to keep an eye on her. When we left her house in such a hurry, I threw …
