luckily it didn’t hurt the next day!! 🫂

don’t think I’ve hit a wall in anger so hard as to hurt my own hand in two decades plus.

you know you’re not doing well when…

mastectomy a week from today. the emotions are BIG

My phone just closed all of my 500 open Safari tabs and I’ve never felt more vulnerable and exposed

four of my papers are on there… but I am so sleep-deprived and physically drained that I cannot figure out how to add my contact info??

straight white men always have been and always will be THE WORST. preach, Betty!

it’s been beautiful. also made a lovely throw pillow arrangement using pillows we already had. and the bonus is that it’s even more of an excuse to retreat to the bedroom when the main living area becomes too overwhelming.

funerals hit different when you have cancer

when is this app gonna allow us to save drafts???

holy shit. I finally got a mattress topper (2 inches of down & fake down pillow top on top of 2 inches cooling memory foam) and splurged on new sheets and a neck supporting pillow and silk pillowcase. holy shit. let’s see how this sleep hits.

that being said, it is enjoyable driving to this camping trip by myself. (I’ve got the jam packed SUV while hubs has the sedan w the kids and the remainder of the stuff lol.)

after driving my manual TDI Jetta with after market stereo, speakers, and subwoofers for 16 years (as, you know, that was the thing when I was a teenager and I got that car at 19), no other car’s music loudness levels ever satisfy the loudness I crave.

You’re so right, girl. 🫂

I’m not a huge crier in general (okay, maybe a little), but I’ve been fucking sobbing off & on (in spurts) for like 2.5 days now.

it’s not the end of the world, I know that. it just wasn’t what I was expecting.

but I am still fully planning to kick this thing in the ass. just boobless, I guess.

so it turns out there were no decisions to be made at the surgical consult: right boob is getting chopped off in a month…

maybe it’s true that sometimes love just isn’t enough…

what a strange birthday today is

have watched like five times now. better every time. probably in my top four faves ever.

my babygirl turns 2 today, and I am not okay

this so did not age well

can I just call the radiology dept and tell them to hurry the fuck up???

cannot stop thinking about in the very best of ways

okay but I am going to need to watch Sinners AGAIN

so desperate for chocolate, I had to search out the little remainder of the Easter candy.

as my dad would say, it is hitting the spot.

at this point, what’s super frustrating is that while I still think in tweets and do want to post them, I just can’t. bc they’re all depressing af.

that’s still the case for me after not being there for ages and not really being active here at all.

as I said back on twitter, when one spends a decade there, one starts to think in tweets.

it’s been hot (and humid) af here for weeks now and we’re past the summer solstice and the boy has been out of school for five whole days, but it’s the fireflies popping up the past few nights that truly marks the start of summer for me.
