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,…

Four-Week Update by Tubeless Tess #BreastCancer #Mastectomy #NailArt #ThursdayDoors

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…

Health Update

Sara Marian (a.k.a. Daughter #4) here, dropping by to let you all know that Mom is home from her surgery, dear readers. Everything went smoothly (and fastfully) and she is not experiencing much pain so far, just a sort of muscle ache feeling. Pictures of…
Home And Away #ThursdayDoors #BreastCancer
I’m setting this post up ahead of time. By the time you read this, I’ll be in the horse pistol, bidding a fond farewell to Right-Hand Rita and her Minions of Death. I’ve asked #4 Daughter, the amazing Sara Marian, to post an update for…

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…
