Mockingbird's Nest: March 2015
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Repository of random ramblings. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Through all of this. I can say with honesty that I wish I hadn't had to learn any of it, or at least I wish I hadn't been put into this class. But I can also say that I'm glad I have learned some things along the way. What follows are personal lessons; actual mileage may vary and heaven knows, the contents may have settled during shipping. I truly thought that I was different and that while it might take other. We had some tree work done over the la...

Mockingbird's Nest: November 2014
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Repository of random ramblings. Saturday, November 29, 2014. November - Checking In! Poet Thomas Hood didn't really care for November, once writing:. No sun - no moon! No morn - no noon -. No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day. No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,. No comfortable feel in any member -. No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,. No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! Right there with you, Tommy. Moments. To review - I picked six classic books. Before the New Year's Eve.

Mockingbird's Nest: Relief, Rest, & Resilience
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2015/07/relief-rest-resilience.html
Repository of random ramblings. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Relief, Rest, and Resilience. A "Breastmobile," if you will. Or that she'll "work it off" at the gym the next day? There's nothing but guilt in that approach. As the wise and wry Tasha Tudor. Would remind us, life is meant to be enjoyed, not saddled with. So treat yourself well! To quote Bluto in Animal House. Don't cost nothin'." Sure, he's talking about something else, but still . . . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hmmm - what's this? 160;W...

Mockingbird's Nest: April 2015
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Repository of random ramblings. Sunday, April 12, 2015. After being brought to the realization that yes, I'm through with radiation treatments but also yes, I'm sick from them, things have (oddly enough) gotten much easier. It has to do with not fighting so hard to be better when I'm not and instead just accepting that I'm not quite there yet. I know - elementary, dear Watson, but I'm a hard-headed mule sometimes. My new normal; at least for now. It won't stay here forever - I will. I had a number of fri...

Mockingbird's Nest: October 2014
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Repository of random ramblings. Sunday, October 12, 2014. It's been an eventful week here at the Nest - both for me personally and for a far larger population. To start with, I had my first full physical since I took up running at the start of the year. I have a fantastic doctor and, I'll admit, I was hoping that the needle of the dreaded doctors' scale would give me number I could preen about after all the exercise, food tracking, water guzzling, and so on. Gently and with good humor, she explained to m...

Mockingbird's Nest: Company's Coming!
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2015/07/companys-coming.html
Repository of random ramblings. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Coloring - not just for kids! I have to say that I like the results of my "French experiment" so far. It's been nice to start culling my closet (much, MUCH work to do there - I'd like to eventually get to a "capsule wardrobe,". But that's likely to take a while) and I've enjoyed taking better care of myself through what - and when! In French. Lovely, but with my North Cackalacky accent, I'm sticking with the English) . Hmmm - what's this? 160;which f...

Mockingbird's Nest: Zero!
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2015/03/zero.html
Repository of random ramblings. Sunday, March 22, 2015. As in, "How many radiation treatments are left? That's right - today is Day 3 post-radiation of my DCIS journey. On the final day, FryDaddy. And there was, of course, cake and celebration. So yes - 33 treatments over six-and-a-half weeks have come to an end. (Yay! And the crowd goes wild! Other changes are also indicated, especially in diet and stress reduction, and these are areas FryDaddy. Am I glad to be moving forward! Hmmm - what's this? 160;wh...

Mockingbird's Nest: August 2014
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Repository of random ramblings. Saturday, August 23, 2014. August has been a strange month here at the Nest. It's a month that tends to be syrupy hot-and-humid, so it starts by slowly crawling by, then suddenly, everything goes into turbo speed and it's the end of the month and I'm left wondering what the heck just happened. It's been a good month so far - a few days at the beach ( FryDaddy. And healthy eating choices) are both ongoing goals, but there's progress. So let's see -. For the book challenge.

Mockingbird's Nest: June 2015
http://mockingbird-nest.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Repository of random ramblings. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Let me tell you - something like that will snap you into focus pretty darned quick. Maybe even more so than my own diagnosis. There, I was concentrating on myself and what I could do; in this situation there wasn't. It's a crazy time - this weekend is the second Joss in June. Conference and I have the privilege of delivering the keynote at that conference. My topic (dealing with Pinocchio and the new Age of Ultron. I'm taking the extra few minutes...
