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
I just made the third call in a week to my electric/gas provider, switching cut off and turn on dates and times. 🙄 I must say they do not put you on hold, the people who answer the phone are extremely polite, and helpful.
What an unusual occurrence these days—helpful, polite, respectful; plus the bonus of no annoying hold music that was composed by a computer—must have been written by a computer🧐🥸
As of 5pm today, I am staying in my current apartment till December 30th, boxes and all. Well, at least so far as of 5:15pm, it’s the plan. The upside is everyone is back to work, no longer sick and our family Thanksgiving dinner is planned for Saturday.
I think Murphy might be behind all this? Whatever, I’m trying to chill like Joe cool😬
I just received two fake emails from Amazon—these were fakes— asking to update my account billing info. Please be aware that the scams are at their peak at this time of year. Do not give your private info to anyone! Just delete them, do not reply 🤓
Sorry I am not active here the past few days. I am in a turmoil with move, can’t move yet, what am I going to do now that everything is packed and I can’t move dilemma. My daughter is a life saver—don’t know what I would do without her—yes I do…go on. We all go on no matter what, don’t we? And it’s not like this is a horrible tragedy, it’s just mind numbing inconvenience. This whole experience reminds me of an old proverb:
Billy Crystal stars with Tiffany Haddish in “Here Today”, a bittersweet comedy. I don’t care for the trailer, the movie is much better than that. This is the scene when they meet.
The truth is, a morning running free on a hayfield was an engine starting my shiny day. My father and uncle never sat around reading the papers on a Sunday morn. I was witness to their tireless ability to hold a day job while striving to work a farm. As a child I never wondered why they chose to pay the price, but it was the life, in those days, to split their time between two needed endeavors. I was always just happy riding on their wings, living an interesting adventure.
