It’s 105 degrees or something outrageous here in Portland and, like most Portlanders, we don’t have air conditioning, but I have to admit I kind of like it. Granted, it only gets this hot a couple of times of year here, so there’s definitely the novelty factor. Plus, it isn’t even humid like it was …

Jelly Brain
I was going to title this post “Anti-Nausea Suppositories Are A Girl’s Best Friend” but was advised that no one really wants to hear about that. But I feel it’s an important public service message — I know the whole thing sounds gross, but not as gross as actually throwing up. Which is really no …
Awesomeness and New Love
Many of you have commented on my last Happy Gift Receiving post by mentioning that Meg Cabot is awesome and I have to agree and also direct you to her blog post today which is entirely about cake. I know some of you have been reading this blog for a while and/or had lengthy conversations …
The Week in Gifts
The weekend up in Port Townsend was so fun and such a nice break — it was hard to come back to chemo-land, BUT I got prezzies this week that softened the blow. V. thrilling ones too. First, there’s the bling I got while in Port Townsend. My dad and Diana’s friend Dan the Jewelry …
Our Big Adventure
We made it! Port Townsend, WA — four whole hours away from Portland. We’d planned this big adventure and doubted if it would ever happen — four hours might not seem like much, but when I kept popping into the Emergency Room here and there for one thing or another, it seemed like an impossibility …
Not As Crazy As I Thought
It is true that your body likes to make baby white blood cells in your lower hips and rear end area. Ha! I wasn’t completely out of my mind. Of course, this time around, I’m feeling it in my shoulders too which doesn’t make any sense. Maybe they ran out of room down there? Other …
Hulking Out
First, I have to say, I feel freaking great right now. I have no idea why this is, if it’s a belated effect from the Hulk Shot they gave me or what, but after a week of being so damn tired, I feel great. This Hulk Shot was supposed to make me mighty and invulnerable …
Last Night, So Fun
The in person auction was perfect. Thanks to everyone who made it so! I’m having another good day and we’re taking advantage and going to have a picnic on the beach so I don’t have time to post more or to arm wrestle a camera away from someone to get some pics. BUT what I …
Quick Catch Up and All Sorts of GOOD THINGS
I’m having a great day. A super awesome, frabjous day! I have not slain any jabberwockies sadly, but I am feeling really good and that only comes around so often lately. I got the super cute haircut of my dreams. Triple Huzzah! I called at the last minute this morning and had never even been …

Too Many Drugs Or What Happened to Saturday
The song going through my head for the past couple of days now is that Violent Femmes song with the “too many drugs line” in it which just about sums up the past weekend. I was not eligible for chemo on Friday (white blood cell count too low) and ended up with just a fifth …
