I have not blogged lately because it’s been busy; I’m in Week 3 of Chemo #2, when life is pretty normal, and so life goes on as it does. One of the most enjoyable things we did this past week was to go see The Lion King at Broadway San Diego. The four of us… Continue reading The Lion Sneezed Tonight
Being bald is annoying. At least, being bald due to cancer is annoying. First, there are the obvious issues with always needing to wear a hat, scarf, or wig. Sure, I’m having as much fun with this as I can – it’s like playing dress-up – but logistically, it’s annoying. Especially given that I live… Continue reading Stubble
I’m often asked how the kids are taking all this. I first broke the news to them a couple of months ago. Since then they seem to have been dealing with it pretty well; and by that I mean, life goes on as normally as possible. I’m walking around the house completely bald – I… Continue reading Bald Mom
When I found out I’d need chemo and would lose my hair, I started poking around on Pinterest and other sites to get ideas for hats and wigs and other ways to fun it up a bit. In the back of my mind I recalled that one of the characters on that show from 10… Continue reading I Love You Samantha Jones

But since I’m sure you’re all wondering how I’m doing I’ll plan to have a… Continue reading Introducing Yolanda
I shaved it tonight!!! I couldn’t take it anymore! Last Saturday night – actually in the wee hours of Sunday morning – my hair announced its departure. It literally woke me up, feeling tingly and strange, and I just knew that was it. I had expected my hair would shed gradually; but when I got… Continue reading Bye bye blue!
Yesterday was my first day back in the office since leaving for London … in other words, since dying my hair blue over three weeks ago! Everything went fine, in fact it was a quiet day; several of the folks on my team are on travel. I realized shortly after arriving that the blue hair… Continue reading Why, yes, my hair IS blue!
Post-chemo life hobbles on. It’s pretty sucky, I don’t recommend it… My narcolepsy has eased, and been replaced by stomach issues. Not so much straight nausea – they’ve given me pretty good meds for that. But other GI issues have reared their head (hah!). I’ve asked if any of the meds I’m taking might be… Continue reading Are we having fun yet?
