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
The Fortieth Tuesday: We Talk About New Beginnings
Actually have no idea what Tuesday today is because I have been so inconsistent (sorry!) so I'm declaring today the fortieth because I said so. Also, I'm going to try to be better and write more because I just renewed my WordPress subscription (it's already been a year I've had this thing and I still … Continue reading The Fortieth Tuesday: We Talk About New Beginnings
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
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 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
The Twenty-First Tuesday: We Talk About Life After Chemo
If you asked me in the dark, dreary days of December what life would be like after chemo, I would tell you to ask me that in a month. If you asked me again, in the cold and miserable days of January what life would be like after chemo, I would laugh in your face … Continue reading The Twenty-First Tuesday: We Talk About Life After Chemo
The Nineteenth Tuesday: We Talk About Anticipation
I just want to say thank you to everyone who texted me today to remind me what number Tuesday it was. Every week I forget and it's nice to know that there are people out there who have a better memory than I do.
