Watch my life unravel...

GC and I dropped into my local community centre on Thursday evening for Meet the Chief night. But there was no sign of Police Chief Vern White. “Where’s the Chief?” I asked my city councilor, Maria McRae, who organized the event. She explained that the Chief couldn’t make it, but he’d sent his Inspector in his […] Remember Kimberly Malysheff, the charming Sock Monkey Woman? Well she’s back, and this time it’s not about sock monkeys. Kimberly and I share a love for tintypes, which are photographs on metal and which were all the rage back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Tintypes replaced daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, and made photography more accessible […] This morning my phenomenal primary support team – Duncan, GC and Donna – gathered at my place for coffee, and then we headed off to meet with the surgeon, the resident, the intern, the home support nurse (who is a breast cancer survivor herself) and the social worker. (Duncan opted to stay behind and […] I’ve blogged before about my front walkway garden and its invasive goutweed. In fact, it’s not a garden at all, it’s a goutweed patch with a piece of landscaping fabric over it in an effort to stifle the goutweed and keep it from taking over the world. Last summer I felt embarrassed about what […] Like Laurie Kingston says, it’s not ALL about breast cancer. So I’m going to try to think about – and blog about – other things too, as if everything were not profoundly different now. You know that wacky bright yellow condemned house on Gladstone Avenue? I love that house. It’s got its own movie now! Go […] The hardest part is the fear. Since I don’t know the magnitude of the problem yet – ie, what stage it is, and whether the cancer has spread beyond the original tumour – I sometimes feel very much at the mercy of my worst fears. I was lying in bed this morning thinking about the […] GC and I are having a tough time trying to decide what to do tonight, because there are soooo many interesting things happening around town. We’re divvying up the following events amongst ourselves and our clones. I thought I’d share them with you too, in case you’re looking for something to do tonight. (I’ve also […] I’m so touched by all the support I’ve been getting from everybody over the past couple of days. It’s overwhelming, and deeply, deeply touching. And it certainly brightens up the darker, scarier corners of my mind. I’m still getting used to the idea that I have cancer. One of the things I’ve noticed is that my […] It all started with a routine mammogram in March, just a few days before I got laid off. The mammogram was no big deal: I’ve had haircuts that hurt more. Did you know that immediately after they do the mammogram, a nurse conducts a physical breast exam? The nurse found a lump, but for some […] To be honest, I’ve spent more time setting up the Getting Things Done systems than I’ve spent getting things done. At times it makes me wonder if GTD is just another way of putting off actually doing things. Tickler File System But you have to admit it looks cool. This is my Tickler File […] |
