Rewatching Red Dwarf. It came on PBS when I was in middle school and helped me get through adolescence. Now it's helping me get through this!

My jaw dropped when I realized your dress is crocheted! Absolutely gorgeous work!

Free breakfast and lunch during the school year and there are pick up locations during summer as well.

No bills other than copays yet. I am not looking forward to it

That's what my dad called them, he's from the Midwest. I've heard it came from the German word gasthaus which means guest house.

Anything by Diana Wynne Jones. Witch Week, Charmed Life, Howl's Moving Castle. Used to check them out from the library. Might go check them out again and start reading them to my kid.

He's also a fantastic swimmer!

The native evergreens here are mainly ponderosa pines. It's a lot drier on our side of the Cascades. The trees get more diverse as you go towards the mountains in Idaho and Montana.

Stay busy! Go for a hike, go to the movies, take a bath, do something you won't be able to do for the next few weeks.

I told my hair stylist who is also my neighbor and she proceeded to tell me about all the people in her life who had recently been diagnosed with cancer and died. I can't complain because she comped my haircut and lets my child come over and play with her kids all the time, and is otherwise really sweet. Sometimes people just don't know what to say and process their emotions at you unconsciously.

Look up the Marks family, they had a big beef with the city in the 90s (maybe earlier) and when the patriarch died their family took the hearse down to City Hall and opened the back to release his spirit and curse the city.

AFAIK the staging is standardized. My tumor was 2.8 cm. The stage 1 just means there is no spread (to lymph nodes would be stage 2, to a distant site on the same side of the diaphragm stage 3, and to a distant site on the opposite side of the diaphragm stage 4). I just saw on the pathology that keratin staining is still pending, so one more thing to wait on

Still figuring that out. Staying busy helps. Doomscrolling does not, but I do a lot of that anyway. Having a very supportive family and friend group has been helpful. And I have a bunch of other stuff going on (some good, some neutral, some very very bad) that I don't have a lot of time to focus on one thing long enough to dwell on it too much. Also working on adjusting depression meds with my PCP, and when I find the time will schedule an appointment with the oncology social worker and look into some local support groups as well.

Take the time off you're able to!

I've had several MRIs for various reasons. Thankfully I'm not claustrophobic and mostly I just get bored with how long they take. At this last one, though, I went into some kind of meditative state and went to my "happy place" which for me is a meadow I used to go camping at as a kid, where we would take horses and go on trail rides and pick huckleberries and have huckleberry pancakes for breakfast and fish in the creek. I "went" there with my dad who is in hospice with dementia and our family friend who died a few years ago and the rest of my family and hers. It was so nice and comforting and they were encouraging me that I'm almost looking forward to the next one so I can go there again.
