New Benchmark #BreastCancer #Mastectomy #1LinerWeds

I’m still lumpy and bumpy as my body struggles to reabsorb the PBF (Precious Bodily Fluids) running rampant under my skin. I never knew I was so juicy. I’m glad I decided against reconstructive surgery, because enough is enough, amIright? Falsies FTW. ANYWAY, what with…

Onion Gravy #Food

I got some supposedly English-style bangers from MarketWagon. No. No, they were not. Not BAD, but not English-style bangers. But that’s not what I want to talk about today. I want to talk about the onion gravy I made to go with it. I used…

Zootopia #MondayRecommends and #NailArt

I watched this Disney animation a while back, but I rewatched it this weekend, this time with Sara (#4 Daughter). It held up. Sara agrees that it’s not just an okay movie, it’s a super one. Predators and prey live in harmony in the world,…

Three-Week Update by Enuff Awreddy #BreastCancer #Mastectomy #NailArt and #ThursdayDoors

I’m actually running behind on the updates, because my surgery was on Thursday and my checkups have been mostly on Thursday. This week, I was hoping to have these damn drain tubes and bulbs removed, but that’s not going to happen. The surgeon is wisely…

Two-Week Update By Lady Patience Grace #BreastCancer #Mastectomy #NailArt #Recipe and #ThursdayDoors

I went to the surgeon’s office last Friday for a check-up, and they said everything was healing satisfactorily, from their point of view. They wrapped me up in an Ace bandage to keep the seroma under control, and said that what I had taken for…

A New Word #1LinerWednesday

A New Word #1LinerWednesday

#4 Daughter (the amazing Sara Marian) and I love to watch Forged in Fire, because we’re fascinated by Wil Willis’s biceps — er, I mean bladesmithing. The forge is blazing hot, and sometimes the contestants get so overheated, they lose track of what they’re doing…
