It's 5:00 somewhere
10.31.09 - 7:33 pm (CT)
Trick-or-treating is done for this year, so it is finally time to relax, with freshly made pumpkin seeds… and a Margarita. This is the first drink I've had in probably a year or more, so I think I'll stick with just one. If I just had a dance partner here right now, I'd dance the first one off, have a second or possibly a third, and then probably dance those off, too. I suppose I could do some no-partner kitchen dancing, but I lack the inspiration to hoof it alone… oh well, maybe next time.

Where has Jeane been for the last two months?
10.12.09 - 8:43 am (CT)
When I left off in August I was rather ticked at the phone company and their website, and still am, but that is neither here nor there. Since then I've been dragging myself through the aftereffects of chemo and getting psyched up for three surgeries on 9/4. I am no longer concave, but am convex, the port is gone, and I no longer have the parts to get any more female-type cancers.

However, when removing those parts they nicked another part that caused problems for all of September and into October, which had me in and out of the hospital 3 times since the surgeries. They now think they have nipped the nick, which leaves me awaiting the next surgery, probably in December, or come to think of it, there might be one or two procedures having to do with the nick before that.

I have continued to work through all of this, as most of my work can be done from home, and is actually better suited to my own computer and printer, as they are far superior to the ones at my place of employment. Plus, I can make phone calls from anywhere, so why not make them from the comfort of my own home where Ruth and Lily can enjoy my presence — for the duration, Bob Harper has been ensconced (with me) elsewhere… 5 star accommodations, of course.

BTW, I was overly optimistic how sheik my hairdo would be for the September surgeries, as it will probably take another month to achieve terribly sheik status. In other words, I'm still sporting my cute baseball hats when I go out in public, but am no longer worried about the public's reaction should it blow off in a stiff wind. ABTW, I did eventually loose it all, but the last of the old hair fell out after the new hair had already started growing back in, which left me not totally hairless in Manhattan.

Date of no significance
10.11.09 - 5:25 pm (CT)
Today's date bugged me for a good part of the day and in fact it's been bugging me for several days, but about halfway through the day I figured it out, and when I did, I was somewhat surprised that it took me so long to do so. This date USED to have significance, but not any more — maybe next year I won't even ponder the thought.
