All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday, Kate!

Treatment is officially over!

Hooray!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo, Tim!

Happy Kate Day!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Radiation is done! Treatment is officially over! We have to wait 3 months for a PET scan to confirm Tim’s officially cancer free, but I am declaring that he is now UNofficially cancer free! Suck it, cancer!

Fuck yeah! That's what I want to hear.

Happy birthday, Kate!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks, everyone! And congratulations to Tim -- that's great news!

Yay Tim! And happy birthday Kate!

I got Covid and flu vaccines yesterday and now my deltoids are very sore.

Always Anti-fascist!

Glad SF is being spared round-ups--guess it would be hard to try to spin "They're saying Boo-urns," about you all. So glad Tim is done with his chemo, too. ETA: Happy Kate Day! I'm not happy because I think either the thyroid med is too much now, or that I'm having side effects I don't like. Boo, digestive roulette. Technically, it was just a little slow, but still enough to send my drama-queen system into a complete freakout, which was slow enough about resolving and now, well, it's all just tiring. And it gets me, too, because I thought this would be a simple thing. A(sort of) Modern Medicine Saves The Day Moment. Like I'd take pills for six or eight weeks and be like "Hey, remember that summer my gut went on general strike? Weird, right? And my skin hardly dries out anymore and it glows so much people wink at me and think they're being dirty." It's so not like that, I almost feel a little ripped off about it, in addition to side effects in the small hours. I need one simple problem, you know what I mean?
