I finished chemotherapy in January 2009. If you’ve read my blogs to date, you know that chemotherapy was much more traumatizing to my body than I thought it would be – but I always assumed the effects would be temporary and that once I was over the toxic side-effects, it would be done.In fact, I […]

I realized today, while talking to my sister, that many people probably misunderstand me. I come off as arrogant, elitist, eager to get the last word in, intolerant, and even angry at times.

Cassiopeia is her name She’s a full bred Beagle puppy. I got her with my ex-girlfriend a few weeks ago. I think she pushed me into it to get me used to the idea of having a baby with her, but I LOVE Cassie. She’s a full-spirited, very loving and playful dog. As Beagles go […]
