No News and Good News – a Quick Update on Lumpy and Leaky
Happy Monday, all! No need for warnings or short versions of today's post, as I don't have much new to report on this ongoing possible cancer scenario. Lumpy is still a bit bruised and sore, but the mammogram place called mid-week and cancelled my followup appointment. The reason? My biopsy came back NORMAL! The lump... Continue Reading →
Further Adventures of Lumpy and Leaky (aka my breast cancer concern)
First, thank you to everyone who commented with amazing messages of support last week. The idea for the post came to me while waiting at the mammogram office, but I hesitated hitting the "publish" button right up until the last second.

Mostly Wordless Monday – A pair of Desiderata Quotos
When this post goes live, I'll be out of town, helping a family member with a health situation (would that be vague blogging? *grin*). So for today (similar to last week), another quoto. This time, I did two versions - one the full quote, and one featuring the final stanzas, both paired with the same... Continue Reading →
Mostly Wordless Monday – An Oscar Wilde Moon Quoto
Thanks again to Lori for giving me a wicked cool name to call this whole, putting other people's words on my photos, quoto thing. *grin* "Yes: I am a dreamer.
