The word of the day is....

pain.

Well, actually it's been the word of the past like 14 days. Or more. And I'm tired of being it. And I hate it. And it doesn't seem to want to go away. And it has fucked with my well-being. And my attitude. And my psyche. Shabu Shabu won't even make me feel better. Not even Chick Fil A.

I've been in a pretty bad mood most of today. Poor John. I told him. "I'm sorry I'm being such a stupid wench" and he said, "No, you're being a reaonably intelligent wench." Yes, I have a good husband. Except he has promised to let me introduce him to froyo, and he keeps breaking it! OMG Red Velvet FoYo could quite possibly help me feel better. 


Went to the physical therapist today. I'm of course very weak in my left leg. Right leg isn't much better, but oh well. I have some exercises to do. I have to do lab work tomorrow and then I see my PCP next Friday.

That' s all I feel like writing about.

On Saying Goodbye: Leaving Boston after 17 Years

Dear Boston and all the people who have been in our lives: Thank you for the (just shy of!) 17 Years! What a beautiful city this is. It was such a privilege to call Boston home. You were worst of times (cancer, other health issues, losing Chaucer and Dante, job losses/ unemployments on both ends) but you were mostly the best of times (meeting the best people, having Oliver, completing advanced degrees, advancing in our careers, growing as people). You quite literally saved my life.. While some memories are quite triggering, they are reminders of strength and perseverance. And I am filled with thanks having been in the right place at the right time . Now here comes a waterfall of photos   Us in our early days here, circa 2008 Our graduations from Boston College in 2012 and 13 respectively  (I was pregnant and didn’t yet know in this pic!) Oliver’s birth in 2014 When i first moved here, I was not city savvy. I was not public transit savvy. And I HATED the cold and snow.  17 years later a

On Death and Surviving Survivor's Guilt: One Decade Without Zellie

 Late August /early September 2010 was a huge milestone for me. I had survived one year being cancer free after a huge struggle to recover from my cancer-curative-partial gastrectomy surgery (as you all know, I had the rest of my stomach removed in 2019) . My partial gastrectomy recovery was ROUGH. I spent 5 months essentially starving as my esophagus did not work. My face spent more time in the toilet than with friends if the visit had anything to do with food. Meanwhile, though, I still somehow got into grad school. But as I recovered, my friend suddenly deteriorated. And then she was diagnosed with lung cancer. And then she died. Her name was Jennifer Wille, but after college, she went by her pen name Zellie Blake. She was 27 years young. Zellie was a free spirit. She was funny. She was creative. She was happy. She was silly. She was tall 😊 (approximately a foot taller than me- in college I called her my “Foot Taller JenTwin).  She had a child-like innocence. She never stopped pl
