NOTE: The good news - all of my tests so far have come back normal. The bad news - I'm not feeling any better, and still have no idea why. Given that I'm wearing an eye patch on my right eye (for what it's worth, my pirate name is Bella "Big And Brazen" Inch, The... Continue Reading →

Mostly Wordless Monday – Clouds Quote by Rabindranath Tagore
NOTE - If you're reading this message, it's because I'm still dealing with my body falling apart because I'm old some health stuff.

Mostly Wordless Monday – Magic Exists
NOTE - Because the Universe has an amazing sense of humor, I now have a splint on my right hand, and orders from the Urgent Care doc to let my thumb rest and heal.

Mostly Wordless Monday – When the Night is Darkest
After seeing the news today, I decided to scrap my planned post and create this quoto instead. “Remember,” she whispered, “it’s only when the night is darkest that you can see the light of the stars.” ~ Elizabeth Hunter, The Secret Photo - Starry sky over our house, April 12, 2107 “Remember,” she...

You can’t make this stuff up – Leaky is leaking again!
Seriously. I mean... ugh, I can't even. And it's not even from the same place. Plus, I've apparently popped a stitch (but that's not why Leaky is leaking). If you're squeamish, you may want to run away now. However, if you want to hear the "truth is stranger than... forget that, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS... Continue Reading →

Spoiler for my next Lumpy & Leaky update – IT’S NOT CANCER! (aka my breast cancer concern)
I'm working on a monstrously-sized update, but my focus isn't great right now (thank you, pain killers! No, seriously - thank you). For the moment, as the title says, the spoiler for my next Lumpy & Leaky update is - IT'S NOT CANCER! I should have the final update posted next week, once Leaky has... Continue Reading →
Lumpy is happy and Leaky is healing aka my breast cancer concern
WARNING - This post was written while under the influence of some lovely, if somewhat ineffectual, pain meds, so I can't be held responsible for the content or coherentness of what follows. Because it's a bit difficult to type at the moment, given Leaky's new nickname is Ginormous, here's an actual Microblog Monday-esque, Reader's Digest... Continue Reading →
Surgery this week and Lumpy wants attention again aka my breast cancer concern
This might be the week I start to get some answers! Which is good, because my visit to the oncologist actually left me with more questions, specifically about Lumpy. But I'm getting a bit ahead of myself - first, a little update on all the fun since last Monday. Previously on "The Adventures of Lumpy... Continue Reading →
Running out of tests to run on Leaky aka my breast cancer concern
Okay, readers, fess up - who's the one who wished I'd live in interesting times? *sigh* Still not much to report since last week, but here's what's been going on - A little addlebrained. I can't believe I forgot to mention one of my crazy-making moments from last week! Remember how I said I finally... Continue Reading →
Good but exasperating update on Leaky aka my breast cancer concern
I'll start with the punchline first - even after the results of an MRI, I still don't have a frelling clue as to why Leaky is leaking. Now that I've gotten that out of the way (and technically, that could be my shortest Microblog Monday post ever), here are the specifics - "You spin me... Continue Reading →
