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

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt 12-26-20

The decision was definitely abrupt. Jack was one of those happy go lucky people living in a self imposed fantasy world. Everyone around him was amazed at how he reacted to bizarre problems, as if it was just another bridge to cross. Then it happened.

His troglodyte employer was tired of Jack’s Pollyanna attitude, wanted Jack to be more studious, instead of emphasizing his creative ideas. Jack’s project expense budget disappeared, his efforts chastised and the pressure was on to resign.

The happiness balloon deflated. Jack couldn’t substitute his personality and quit, the company’s loss.

What a day! We spent gift opening on Zoom and it wasn’t ideal, but okay. Presents and plate of food, cookies all brought to me, how nice is that? The book my granddaughter gave me I started reading at 10pm. Couldn’t put down and finished at 2am. 😂 I haven’t done that in a while, felt good!

A big box of thank you wishes to all of you for reading and commenting on my scribbles.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Dec. 26/2020

What day is it anyway – Christmas Eve!

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

It has been so windy here and cold, but sunny. I am used to winter winds since I’ve lived here for six years, but this last week the nights bring a whining buzzing sound around my bedroom window. I tried opening and shutting the window tighter, but couldn’t budge it. At four this morning, after many nights of no sleep, I finally pulled up the blinds to see a foot long crack between window and its foundation. Since apartment people are all closed till Monday, I fixed it myself. I got a tube of toothpaste and spackled the crack with an emery board.

Ahhhh, quiet. . .at least inside!

❤️🎄💚
