How am I doing?

*(as seen on Facebook)
So, I realize I do random "whines" about things, but not a whole picture...

So - the picture is this: I am getting better.

Ever twinge and ache I wonder "is this cancer coming back?" so I go get checked (the throat thing).

My body is still not 100% my own.. it still does what it wants, but instead of having a poopcidents (love that term and stole it from a lady on my support group) more than once a week I would say I'm down to about every week and a half... maybe two weeks if I am having a REALLY good span.

I do NOT eat right... well, I eat, and too well as told by my body gaining 10lbs, but I'm not eating the RIGHT things according to the docs and folks who know better. I have added lots of roughage back into my life, because, well, I LIKE it. I enjoy the flavors. Is it doing my bowels any good? Probably not... I go from what I would consider constipation (not going) for anywhere from 1 to 3 days then I have a few small poopcidents from lack of control - or clustering (going to the potty MULTIPLE times a day) to full on "purge" mode where I basically purge my WHOLE weeks' worth of whatever the heck I ate.

Are they horrible? No, not really... my body is still not fully absorbing water and forming hard stool... so things go smoothly, they just may not go much or too much... which then causes issues with the tissues... hahahaha - sorry, couldn't resist.

BUT this leads to a silver lining that if you have a baby I can tell you with certainty which baby rash ointment is the BEST on the market.

So.... how am I??
Fine, really. I have adjusted. If this is my life, then I'm cool with it... I work around it, I wear protection so that even if there is a poopcident, it's a blip in the day and I go on.

First night of pottery

Ok this was really fun!


My friend from work Leigh Ann and I signed up for pottery. Lizzie decided to join in too! I had doubts at first if I should/would do it. SO glad I did! Such fun!!!


This was after I mushed a failed attempt. ;) it was even fun to mush too!! Mud everywhere!!!


My two keepers. Not too shabby for my first try at this!

Leigh Ann and I drove up, met Liz and went to dinner. Tonight was Sangs for Thai food. What’s funny is I had Thai for lunch too :)

I didn’t mind having it twice on one night. I just tried something different for dinner. Ha! We plan on trying a new place every week.

Weekend projects

Not sure what happened to my wife angle shot of the room PILED with junk. The bed was piled the floor at the foot of the bed was piled. I went through everything and with moved it to the dining room or put it away.


The “after” and I’m not REALLY done in there quite yet. I need to repair a door (screw popped through the back of the door for the handle)


Where it all went. Hahaha!
Yes we have a blanket problem.


AFTER! OK not quite done here either but what a difference!!


What is GOING to consignment tomorrow!! Yes tomorrow. Will it all fit in the car?


The answer is YES and it’s all in there now. This line bag is my goodwill bag to go in later!!


Angela’s room all empty. Looks weird.


I’ll still need to take a few more things to consignment but we shall concentrate on this load tomorrow first. Then do another later.

That was a LOT of work this weekend!!

It was nice to get everything out of the bedrooms and in one area. Then I could see just how many blankets we really had. Scary amount!! I still kept quite a few, because you know you always need blankets!

So. The car is loaded and there is even a bike in there I got off the side of the road ;)

So what all was in there??
Here’s the list!!
