A.C. stands for "after chemo." How do I know how many Tuesdays it's been since chemo ended? I know because tomorrow marks one year from the last time I had to go get a life-saving yet poisonous cocktail injected into my body.One year since the last time I had to wake up early to sit … Continue reading The Fifty-Second Tuesday A.C.: We Talk About One Year Later

The Forty-First Tuesday: We Talk About Six Months Later
Seeing as it is still 80 degrees in the middle of October, I decided to go on a run this morning. I figured the sun is shining, I have off from work today, so might as well take advantage of the weather while it still lasts. I ran along the East River, which is a … Continue reading The Forty-First Tuesday: We Talk About Six Months Later
It’s Not Even Tuesday: We Talk About Talking About It
It's Wednesday, I know. But I had a topic for yesterday and I just didn't get around to it. I'm a busy gal! I spent yesterday apartment searching in NYC in the rain and then I had to try (and fail) to pack for my trip to Italy and by the end of that, my … Continue reading It’s Not Even Tuesday: We Talk About Talking About It
What Tuesday is This? Whatever, We Talk About STRESS
I know, I know. It's been a long time. But that's not for a lack of trying. I have drafts saved from every week I've missed writing. I just couldn't put together my thoughts in a cohesive way (not that these posts are very cohesive but I just couldn't get past the first line. I … Continue reading What Tuesday is This? Whatever, We Talk About STRESS
The Thirty-Third Tuesday: We Talk About Stuffed Peppers
I'm tired today. Maybe my fun-filled life of activities is catching up with me. Maybe I got a little too much sun this weekend. Maybe I just didn't sleep well. Out of all of those potential reasons, I'm gonna have to say that it's probably because of the third. I have written before about how … Continue reading The Thirty-Third Tuesday: We Talk About Stuffed Peppers
The Thirty-Second Tuesday: We Talk About Adjusting
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy. It's been over a month since I last blogged and I am so sorry to my loyal fans. I think I reached the level of fame where I found it acceptable to take a hiatus from the blogger life. Like how Britney Spears went AWHOL in 2007. I mean, I didn't have a break … Continue reading The Thirty-Second Tuesday: We Talk About Adjusting
The Thirty-First Tuesday (Wednesday): We Talk About Closure
Didn't write yesterday so that I could write a post today. Hope you still had a great Tuesday, even though it wasn't blessed by my poetic writing. When something changes in life, we want closure. We want a moment that divides our previous lives from what's to come. And for me, that moment happened today. … Continue reading The Thirty-First Tuesday (Wednesday): We Talk About Closure
The Twenty-Eighth Tuesday: We Talk About Birthdays
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to! I will admit it. I have never really enjoyed celebrating my own birthday. Other people's birthdays? Let's party! Mine? Not so much. I'm not sure what the reason is. It's not like I had a traumatic experience as a kid with a scary clown at … Continue reading The Twenty-Eighth Tuesday: We Talk About Birthdays
The Twenty-Fourth Tuesday: We Talk About the One Month Mark
Today is a big day. Today marks one month post-chemo, and more importantly, one month until my twenty-third birthday. What are you guys getting me? Haha just kidding!!! I'd like to say that these past four weeks flew by, but they did not. I knew they wouldn't. With my scans in just a couple weeks, … Continue reading The Twenty-Fourth Tuesday: We Talk About the One Month Mark
