The Great Cancer Adventure. Maggie's experiences while living with colon cancer. Maggie Does Not Have Liver Cancer. Peek At What’s Inside Maggie. Goodbye, Sweet Rex. Maggie’s 36th Birthday. December 9, 2011. 8220;Don’t be sad because it’s over. Be happy because it happened.” I keep reminding myself that over and over and over. Such difficult-to-live words that will feel very empty tonight as I stand alone without my angel in the middle of a huge, happy crowd. December 9, 2011 at 3:19 pm. I for one was ch...

My Driveway is My Teacher. February 23, 2014. After a few hours of work in the house, I came back outside in late afternoon. The cold was setting in. All that runoff from the midday thaw just froze into place. The entire driveway was slick. It wasn’t ice, it was more like a sticky film. I tried to wedge a shovel underneath it, but it couldn’t penetrate. I skidded as I maneuvered across it. Slapstick! I call a nearby gas station. They’ve got something that sounds eco-hazardous. Daughter and ...February 23...

Monthly Archives: July 2014. If I Had a Teacher, It Would Be a Dog, and Definitely Not an Economist. July 19, 2014. And, still, moving was the right thing to do. We have been liberated from that old house, and its patterns, and its memories. Despite all the problems we still have, it feels like the three of of us are a family, setting up house. It’s financially inefficient, economically irrational, but there are other standards, and I seem to have hit on one that matters. And I got over it, for the moment.

Business of Change Continues | The Great Cancer Adventure

The Great Cancer Adventure. Maggie's experiences while living with colon cancer. Maggie Does Not Have Liver Cancer. Peek At What’s Inside Maggie. Goodbye, Sweet Rex. Business of Change Continues. September 13, 2011. It’s an odd feeling, doing this. Yes, I feel sad but I also feel a sense of cleansing or of refreshing. I don’t feel like I’m betraying Maggie and that’s the best thing. I really thought I’d be struggling with that but that. As I type this I’m sitting in Starbuck’s. Changes in the Bathroom.

If I Had a Teacher, It Would Be a Dog, and Definitely Not an Economist →. What Took You So Long? May 26, 2014. I’m putting myself out there. I’ve gotten all gussied up. Now, I just sit back and wait for my string of suitors. They visit. They scrutinize me. With each one, I get my hopes up. Maybe this will be The One! I put my best foot forward. They peruse. They pass judgment. I’m nice enough, but not for them. Not up to snuff. I am jaded, but I am playing the game. What game, you may ask? Maybe it was t...

House | somenewnormal
https://somenewnormal.wordpress.com/2014/04/16/house
This is our kind of “Leaning In”. What Took You So Long? April 16, 2014. So I didn’t buy a house. The realtor’s walk-through of my house was encouraging. He pointed out a few small jobs that can make a big difference, and he assured me that there are some $ $ jobs (painting the exterior, redoing the driveway) that don’t have to be done. We then looked at the house for sale. It’s like mine–quirky! 8221; I asked. She does. It even has a spy hole, to see people. “What people do you see? This is very encoura...

Monthly Archives: December 2013. December 26, 2013. The next nice person assured me he would come Tuesday. Guess what happens next? All of these nice, but ineffectual, customer service folks screwed me over. I found myself on the phone on Xmas Eve night begging them to send a guy out. I. I played Santa and then sat in the dark living room with the Christmas lights on, and I felt so wretchedly lonely. December 20, 2013. Come on over for mixers/local bitters/cheese tasting/whatever, it doesn’t matter...
