Ploughing Through Life: February 2015
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Saturday, February 28, 2015. Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, my feet find the shaggy green throw rug as I rock forward, the momentum carrying me to a standing position. I let this stance register to the rest of my body that it will be moving soon. Soon I will tidy up the kitchen and make the bed after the husband appears. And that's just about the total of my days activities! Found face ...

Ploughing Through Life: March 2015
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Tape, Mud and Sand. I see daylight. From my seat on the sofa facing the windows to the front yard, I see the very beginnings of a daybreak on a Wednesday morning. I've been up since 0400 hrs. It just happens that way sometimes and today was one of those "get up early or lie in bed with thoughts racing through my brain on my chores to do today". Last week the husband began...

Ploughing Through Life: August and Mayhem
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2015/08/august-and-mayhem.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Another fall is approaching and it can't get here soon enough! It's August. It's hot. Weather in two words. I could go on to say it's dry and we have brown patches in the lawn threatening to swallow up the entire "once green water soaked June lawn" or I could just say "It's hot! My comment on the page belonging to KATC chiding the reporter on what she was selectively repor...

Ploughing Through Life: The Way It Was...and Is and Is Again
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-way-it-wasand-is-and-is-again.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Friday, June 12, 2015. The Way It Was.and Is and Is Again. The following is a comment copied from a commenter on another website discussing the oil bust and the economy related to it. In the mid-1950s we had the Suez crisis and there was worry over the supply of oil. Just about 10 years later a glut of oil caused a decrease in the "posted price" which formed OPEC. Two morals of the story:. We are h...

Ploughing Through Life: June 2014
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Friday, June 27, 2014. Fast forward, years and years later and I have a bike purchased for exercise. Eventually I too could zip around on it and I lost my fear of other riders too close or a car approaching and passing me. When my bike was stolen I replaced it. Recently replaced it. I haven't ridden it much yet. The weather is either too hot or too wet. Yesterday we gathered together at ye ole Walm...

Ploughing Through Life: May 2014
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Chemo #3 in 2014. Last week I had a lab and a doctors appointment. The white blood cells were too low to do chemo. Instead I was put on antibiotics. Another appointment was scheduled for labs today. Usually labs are done on Tuesday and chemo on Wednesday. Today the labs were good and they shipped me right over to the infusion center which I wasn't expecting. Links to this post.

Ploughing Through Life: July 2014
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Saturday, July 19, 2014. Just a July Update. It's not that my life is so exciting. That's not the reason I haven't posted for a while. I have no good reason other then it's summer and most of my time is spent outdoors. Lawns to mow and autos to clean, bikes to ride and festivals to attend. On the really hot days it's inside beneath the air conditioner. A little note here on health:. Wednesday I mad...

My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Friday, May 29, 2015. It has been two years this February that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I can still remember the numb feeling, the brain going into neutral and the rest of the conversation with the doctor something I do not remember. Many tests followed and another cancer was found. Colon. And a sigh of relief escapes as the doctor gives me this news. This past Tuesday, three tests were ...

Ploughing Through Life: November 2014
http://ftell001.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
My online "memory bank" Originally from Ripley, West Virginia but currently living in Lafayette, Louisiana. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Yes I'm thankful the task of cooking is over. I really don't mind the cooking; it's the finish line that gets a bit hectic with the last minute gravy making and potato mashing, while keeping an eye on the hotrolls that are browning. I had a bottle of wine, cork removed and breathing, poured and consumed, almost entirely mine alone. Happy Thanksgiving one and all! I had ...
