Forced down time

Hello people,

Yesterday I had a day of forced down time.  I woke to an excruciating headache.  Imagine the worst hangover of your life amplified.  This brought on a huge wave of nausea, that could not be fought by even the toughest of anti nausea medicines.  Follow this with a bought of exorcist style vomiting, and then hours of being passed out because of a compound of phenergan.  That ties up my day with a bow. 

Because I was ill yesterday,  Mo had to cancel plans we had with family.  Which was a bummer.  I don't get to see my sister in law Linda very often and was really looking forward to seeing her.  I am learning that I am not in charge any more.  Cancer rules.  (Not like YEA, Cancer Rules man! ) It is the boss now. 

Today I feel quite wimpy and fatigued.  My mood is good.  Mo is keeping me home from church because of how weak I feel.  ( he is very protective, and I love him muchness for that) He doesn't want me to overdo it and feel gross again.  The crappy part of a three week cycle of chemo is that just as I begin to feel well on Monday, I go back Tuesday for another round. 

Good news is I received a shipment of makeup I ordered.  So While I am sitting on my butt today I might play with that to keep myself busy.  Plus, putting my "mask" on may make me feel more like myself.  You can find more info on makeup stuff and things that make life beautiful on my other channel, http://www.missditz-thebeautifullife.com

Thank you for stopping by to read my blog.

Out with the old and in with the new.

Hello My friends!
2016 has been a wild ride.  We have been through a crazy political circus, terrorism, celebrity deaths, advances in cancer research and finally a more importantly, there has been a new awareness that SGK is more  of a fund raising slush fund than a arm to funding  research. Through the past year I have had illness, and health.  One of the best parts of my year has been getting to know all of YOU.  So many of you have reached out through social media.  It gives me such joy to hear your stories, and see how  you are LIVING with mets.  I just want to grab you all up into a big group hug.  Perhaps in the new year we could arrange a meta-thriver meet up.  That would be lovely.  I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoy an amazing New Year!
hugs to you all,
Leslie

Transitioning into Spring with terminal cancer

Hello Friends!
Spring is in the air....supposedly!  Well today is the first official calendar day of spring.  I have seen Some signs of it.  Outside there are green shoots of various bulb plants sprouting from the earth, and I have spotted a robin or two.  Which I hear tell, means spring is just around the corner.  Another sign of spring for me at least, is the sudden desire to deep clean, shed things unused and reevaluate life.  I have found myself becoming more organized.  Especially in the fridge and the pantry.  But there are more personal and deeper spring transitions occurring in my life.  We added Gracie recently which has shifted the balance of things somewhat.  Adding a whole new dimension, and some extra work to our family.  I have also found myself weeding out time suckers.  I am trying to be a bit more conscious in how I am living.  Today I shed about 50 sites I had email subscriptions to.  This will save me time with my email.  Also I got rid of a bunch of youtube subscri…

What do I think of bucket lists?

Well hello there my dear friends,
It has sure been a while since I have written a post, or filmed a Youtube video.  I believe the last time I uploaded was in May during a visit to the Chicago museum of art. That was one of the Most lovely times I have enjoyed with my whole family.  It was an amazing time, My daughter graduated from Uni. at Loyola in the morning, my son was here with his future wife visiting for the occasion.  So after the graduation we set forth and took on the city of Chicago, going to the Museum, walking in the park, enjoying the best food the city had to offer.  It was a blast.  An incredible memory and one of the few items I have on my bucket list.  Many people have ideas about travel or sky diving or even some thing simple like Disney.
Those have never been my bucket items.  From the  moment I found out I had  mets bc, I knew my bucket list would only have a few items.  Enduring ones non the less.
I wanted to see my daughter graduate from University.
I want to …
