    I had my last chemo infusion yesterday :D No more doctors/appointments for a month, when I get a final PET scan -- though the last one was already clear, so there's no really any chance of bad news, there.

    Four months of this shit, man. I'm excited to drink alcohol and grow hair again. And not have needles stuck in me every week. And get my IV port out so I can stop being the most boring cyborg. Not having cancer anymore is pretty neat too, I guess.

    Interesting how people are drawn to the negative when they're seeking something "happy" isn't it?

    That piece could just as easily have been angled to "What Every U.S. State is Best At" which would have been considered bland, or, for balance, "What Every US State is Best and Worst At" (which would be my preferred read, of the three ways to angle the piece).

    Please tell us you danced around your livingroom with a beer while saying that. :)

    Congrats, Homes.



    Yep.

    Taken out of context, the fact that these two posts are one after another is hilarious!

    I've gotten back in the habit of writing every day. My club ran a contest where you'd earn a trip if you wrote 250 words each day for 28 days, and I used it to rebuild the habit for myself. I think I'll go down to six days a week now, since working every day can decrease your quality of output for many tasks, but it's a solid foundation. I think I'll increase to 500 words in the near future. I've also started reading fiction more-or-less every day. In the past, my fatal error was trying to write without reading anything other than Internet arguments, and I'm not making that mistake again. It's amazing how much easier writing is with those habits in place.

    Guy on the telly drew a picture every day, trite in ways, but his wife died and I was sobbing at the montage, pictures o him and the two little girls. It was nice.

    Why not write everyday? It's right, bursts a bubble sometimes :/
