Welcome to TN, boomsday fireworks.

Hello People,

I hope this post finds you all doing well and having enjoyed this past three day weekend. It has been quite a busy week for me. I had chemo on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday my family caravanned from Texas to Tennessee. It was a LONG day. Then on Thursday we moved into our town home. In between unpacking and getting settled, we have driven around to explore. We discovered downtown, and market square. While there, we found out that there was going to be a giant fireworks display to celebrate Labor day. Well heeeeeeey, we had to do that! So, the next day we went back downtown and got an awesome parking spot on the top floor of a parking garage, ( the better to see fireworks from ) and then set out to explore. We took our doxie doggies with us. They did great. They had such a blast and so did we. There are so many cool stores on Market street. I can't wait to explore other streets in downtown Knoxville. It was 6 hours of time spent there, but it went super fast. The longest part was the long wait to get out of the parking garage when it was over. First ones to park, last ones to leave. Hahahah. Seriously, If you are ever in Knoxville on Labor day, I highly recommend going to Booms day. It was UH-MAY-ZING!!!!

Now we are mostly unpacked, and starting to feel settled. I have my first oncology appointment next week on the 11th. You can be certain I will blog about that. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these photos of our first few days here in Knoxville.


Thanks for stopping by,

Leslie

Micro blading when you have cancer.

Here is  what happened.   I lost my eyebrows to cancer treatment.  Over 6 plus years of multiple courses and  types of chemo's have prevented my brow hair from growing back.  Thanks to minoxydl, I have hair on my head and tho sparse, My lashes have returned.  I have told myself to be grateful for what I have.  Yet there has been this little part of me that feels less feminine without brows.  Less expressive, less myself.  Yes, I do draw them on, but that is such a ordeal.  I know, I know, First world problems, right.  Well, no brows is just  another insult to my scarred, breastless body.  I made a call a week ago to Chicago microblading, and spoke with a lovely woman named Tahm.  She asked what I needed this done, and I shared a bit of my cancer background and told her about being browless.  She shared the procedure process with me and then went over cost and care.  I told her  that with all the medical bills I just didn't think I could swing it now, but said If I were able to…

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 …
