Oasis of Sanity: roller coaster
http://quieti.blogspot.com/2015/07/roller-coaster.html
Wife,Parent,Student,Teacher,Volunteer,Writer,Cook,Crazy. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Her refrain, especially when she's feeling, as she says, "Lousy," is "I can't understand how I ended up in this place," so I remind her about not being able to walk and going to the hospital. But I think she remembers the talk we had before. I suspect she is rallying because my brother is coming in from LA with his family late Wednesday. I can't imagine that this upward trend is going to last. Thyroid cancer; parenting; fo...

Wife,Parent,Student,Teacher,Volunteer,Writer,Cook,Crazy. Thursday, October 30, 2014. In a completely unexpected result, my tumor marker decreased to 3.0 from 5.5 in December 2013. That's a surprise, and good news. But still a surprise, because the scan was. Positive, with "slight uptake" in what the radiologist diagnosed as a calcified node in my mediastinum. My endo is not complacent about this diagnosis, and I agree: if the node were calcified, there wouldn't be any uptake there. Not necessarily, espec...

Aphorisms and Ectoplasm: Remembering Gail Russell
http://somekinda.blogspot.com/2012/08/remembering-gail-russell.html
Monday, August 13, 2012. I watched an old gothic spooker called The Uninvited. The other night, and was struck by Gail Russell's beauty and naturalistic performance style. Sadly, she struggled in life with alcohol addiction, and died alone at the terribly young age of 36. Imagine if Warner Bros. or MGM had done Wondy back in the earliest days of her comic appearances - who better than Miss Russell to play the Amazonian ingénue? Click for full-length view.

Aphorisms and Ectoplasm: Big Trouble in Little Britain
http://somekinda.blogspot.com/2008/06/big-trouble-in-little-britain.html
Monday, June 23, 2008. Big Trouble in Little Britain. When Stacie Ponder at Final Girl. Hooray, my guy won! I was finally among the political elite! As I busied myself affixing my "Food of the Gods lost. GET OVER IT" bumper stickers, however, it occured to me that the movie I thought I was voting for whilst pulling that virtual lever was actually an entirely different movie from the one rattling around in my election-addled brain. You see, Lifeforce. A team of astronauts (piloting the ill-fated shuttle "...

Aphorisms and Ectoplasm: August 2006
http://somekinda.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 28, 2006. Sometimes my Yahoo Briefcase links work, sometimes they don't. The only stable urls I'm allowed are from my Yahoo/Geocities webspace. 15 megs is what they're giving me. How generous of them. When I signed up for Rogers Cable internet, I asked if I could beef up my webspace allotment. They said "No,. You get 100 free megs of storage in your Yahoo Briefcase account! Any files you like! How does this help me if they reset my files' destination urls every two days? So basically, my i...

Wife,Parent,Student,Teacher,Volunteer,Writer,Cook,Crazy. Wednesday, July 02, 2014. Front yard 2014 - mulch project. Three shifts of about 3 hours each, with 2 kids helping today, and we have. The center planter relatively weed-free, irises significantly thinned, and a skim layer of mulch. We had three bags left so that's what it got. One more bag would've been OK, but not strictly necessary. Now that the front beds are done, I'm contemplating what else is strictly necessary. The side yards are a mess...

Wife,Parent,Student,Teacher,Volunteer,Writer,Cook,Crazy. Sunday, November 30, 2014. After repeated calls to my endo's office, the nurse/manager finally called and left a detailed message on my cell phone. The doctor had conferred with my usual nuclear medicine doctor, who pulled the film and agrees that it's just a calcified node. They're all happy with that and say I don't have to do anything for a year, when I'll repeat the Thyrogen testing cycle as usual. Wednesday, November 05, 2014. It wears on me s...

Wife,Parent,Student,Teacher,Volunteer,Writer,Cook,Crazy. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Somewhere along the line I decided that physical feelings are OK to talk about, but emotional ones, not so much. This is a probably a reaction (over-reaction? To earlier days of over-dramatic responses to nearly every thing. Thinking back, I can't imagine why I got so upset over so many things in the past. My favorite cafe/bookstore is closing in March. I made a list of what I'd like to - need. Monday, January 19, 2015.

Wife,Parent,Student,Teacher,Volunteer,Writer,Cook,Crazy. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. CT with the family. Saturday DH flew in with the kids. They came into Logan, and I decided the easiest way for us to connect was for me to take the bus from the Cape directly to the airport. Various siblings offered to drive me, but that would've involved them driving to pick me up and then up to the airport, which just seemed like too much to me. Since then the weather has been gorgeous. Sunday was saw a local production.
