I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl
Earlier this week, Ally Bean of the Spectacled Bean revisited a prompt she had first done in 2011. Said 1/3 of her responses had remained the same but that time had given her a new perspective, if you will. I figured why not? Interesting subjects…

Ain’t got time to shoot the breeze, got no time to blow Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go Born one mornin’ on the day of the dead in a bombed out bungalow My momma kissed my cheek and said, I gotta go
[Chorus:] I gotta go somewhere I gotta go Waistin’ time standin’ here I gotta go
They put me in an orphanage west of Tupelo I told ’em when I burnt that bridge, I gotta go Stole a car, got a gun robbed the Hidey-Ho I left Memphis on the run, I gotta go
[Chorus]
Five card stud duces wild, three kings in a row I turned that diamond duce and smiled, I gotta go They tracked my down, took my take, brother don’t you know I told ’em boys, there’s some mistake, I gotta go
[Chorus]
Cold steel up against my head, they turned the lights down low In case you didn’t hear I said, I gotta go These are your very last words sir, say ’em nice and slow My last words on this planet were…
Secrecy would hang there in the court house while the litigious plaintiff shuffled nervously in his seat. The defensive side uttered the sounds of pleasure as their win was certified by the jury foreman. The defense’s fight over their usurped custom design of the device were proved and the complainant’s infringement defeated.
Under the open sky beneath heaven and above hell rule…you. It is all within you, your mind and body. The channel of time is partially up to you also; being careful, making wise decisions, resisting the urgency to flow with the crowd even though you know it’s not the right choice. Living the interesting serial of your life depends on you and your choices.

Well doc I don’t know what he was thinking. I was out on the dock when it happened. Usually he just shapes the dough into a reindeer for the Christmas bake contest but this year it looked more like a tiger instead of a doe. I think it was the chocolate striped effect that made it different. But who doesn’t love chocolate?
Oh come on, don’t tell me you didn’t think that… I can predict that the fire alarm will go off and a fire engine and probably an ambulance will show up today. 90% of the days here at this complex, it happens and no longer do I frantically don a coat or shoes and roll up to the lobby. I’ll be sitting, reading, all is quiet and then I’m transported a few feet off my chair by the humongously loud fire alarm. Apparently the water pipes in the building trigger it when it’s really cold…huh?? It’s so loud I keep noise canceling headphones nearby. Seriously!because it will go off about five times in three or four minute intervals.
I’m watching high school basketball – three games today for my granddaughter. I am having problems getting posts from you all since my email is new, so bear with me on responses. Have a good one!!
