Gen X, 6th grade teacher, wife, mom, grandma, daughter, aunt, cat-petter, and Kansas democrat trying to be a good person while treading water in a sea of red. Oh, and I collect vintage Pyrex.
- Been away for a bit. Found out I had ovarian cancer, had a hysterectomy, started chemo yesterday, had a reaction, finishing chemo today. I’ll end up with six rounds total. In happier news, I’ve had a blast trying out different wigs!

- “tRuMp Is PlAyInG cHEsS” No he’s not. He’s playing golf.

- I’m seeing a gynecologic oncologist next week. I’m scared but hopeful. If it’s cancer, and my dr thinks it is, they’re sure they caught it very early.
- I have two solid masses and a cyst on my right ovary. It’s possible everything is benign, but I am still in the waiting to find out phase. Blood was drawn on Thursday to screen for an ovarian cancer protein, and I have a second MRI on Monday. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.
- One of the things I always look forward to in the spring is getting a peek at my potential class roster for the next school year!! 🥳

- Wearing white jeans and feeling invincible! Will update as to status of white jeans at end of day.
- I need to go to sleep so I can wake up and go get coffee.
- Our last day of spring break is today, so it’s back to school tomorrow! Believe it or not, I’m ready. My classroom is my happy place. 🥰
- I’m jealous of people who have super-snuggly cats.
- Where does everyone who’s cheering all these government cuts think the money is going to go? In their pockets? Have they ever actually met the government??
- The cyst on my pancreas is back, along with one near my ovaries. None of the drs involved are panicking, so I will.

- Narcissists project ALL the time. That’s how they give themselves away. For example… Narcissist says, “You’re a doodie head.” Narcissist means, “I’m a doodie head.”
- RCJH! ❤️ 💙 🏀 ❤️ 💙 🏀 ❤️ 💙
- I lifted some weights last night. Now I’m taking 19,710 rest days because that’s what you have to do. 🤷🏻♀️

- I got two coffees at once today because I’m a grown up. ☕️ ☕️
- MRI on my pancreas this morning! Just a yearly follow-up after a pancreatic cyst removal. Accepting good vibes if you have some laying around that you’re not using.

- I won the “Not the Worst Human” award from my cats. I won it by a landslide with record voter turnout. My cats said they’ve never seen a human not worse than me. The RADICAL DOG IN THIS HOUSE SAID SHE LOVES EVERYONE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR PETS TO BE INDOCTRINATED.
- What’s it like living in Kansas? (Other than the obvious) It is currently 85 degrees with a blizzard warning for tomorrow.
- “Are you a teacher?” “Yes!” Random school-related conversation follows. “Know how I knew you were a teacher?” “My shirt?” (That says “Proud Educator”) “No. Your shoes.” I WAS WEARING THE INTRODUCTORY CROCS I BOUGHT YESTERDAY!
