My nephew's celebration of life is scheduled for early September. Right after my last round of chemo. I'm still alternating between heartbroken and so mad at him for taking his own life when I'm going through so much shit trying to extend mine.

Oof, that's hard, Epic. I'm glad your doctor spent time with you discussing the drain.

I’m feeling sore, but fine. I just showered and thoroughly rinse my hair. No washing or scrubbing and just air drying, finger combing the front into something close to my normal part. The cuts/holes are just beyond my normal part line to the left of my crown.

I am eating two small cucumbers I grew. Good times.

I'm glad you're recovering from your fight with gravity, msbelle.

Yeah, glad you’re doing ok msbelle!

I am still camping in a tent but yes, knowing there is a cabin with A/C is key (and not going the first day, which i never planned to, so if the rest go “hell no” I don’t have to drive). Apparently I was not the only one who looked at the temp and went “ummmm”

Thanks y’all.

Epic- so sorry about your cousin. Glad the chemo remains tolerable and fingers crossed the drain comes out soon

Timelies all!

We have a cherry tomato plant that is now producing ripe tomatoes. So far, two have ripened and been eaten by Mr. S.

Good to hear you are doing well, msbelle.

Epic, I am sorry, and understand your mixed emotions on your cousin. Good that the communication is better with your health care team on the drain.

Mmmm, tomatoes! Enjoy.

Downstairs is 80 degrees and rising because one of the A/C units is out. Thankfully we still have a second story with a working A/C. But I am grumpy.

Further note: When it's 100 degrees outside, it's really easy to overheat quickly.

Is now a good time to mention it was in the 40s when I got up this morning, and is currently 68, probably the high for the day? This is why I leave Florida in the summer. I turn on the space heater this morning and heated the seat in my car when I drove to the gym!

eta: Dana is going to unfriend me, I just know it
