3/9/26

Our next chapter is about to begin. The wheels are in motion and, obviously, I’m stressed and full of anxiety. I would give pretty much *anything* to be on a beach right now, drink in hand, listening to nothing but the waves crashing. I’ve been to Mexico 3 times in the last 5 years asContinue reading “3/9/26”

It’s been a minute…

Kind of went M.I.A. after we received Luke’s remission news. Big things started happening literally within minutes of leaving his appointment. I’ll be sharing everything soon, but for fear of tempting fate I’m keeping it close to the vest for now. Luke has returned to work at about half his workload as before his cancerContinue reading “It’s been a minute…”

He Won.

Sunny and 70°, my passenger side window down, I had my eyes closed relishing the warmth of the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. “Summer of ‘69” was playing on the radio and Luke was singing along. After making our way through an absurd amount of roundabouts we pulled into theContinue reading “He Won.”

Six Months Gone

Driving down S 9th Street in the capital city, 70° in February, windows down. A lot about today is unbelievable, especially the fact that after six months of chemo today we find out if the poison did its job. In 4.4 miles we will pull into the parking lot at Cancer Partners of Nebraska, walkContinue reading “Six Months Gone”

Sunday Scaries

In 2 days my husband has his PET scan. This scan will show if the last 6 months of chemo worked, or if we need to come up with a plan B. I’ve been pretty even keeled, for the most part, but today I feel….unsteady? More knots in my stomach, unable to calm down enoughContinue reading “Sunday Scaries”

Monday 1/26/26

I’m finding, as I travel along my journey of growing my faith, that I’m able to find peace with God’s will. That probably sounds so much deeper than I actually meant it, but it’s true nonetheless. For as long as I can remember I’d throw a tantrum, breakout into a panic attack, if something didn’tContinue reading “Monday 1/26/26”

The Mondayest Monday

Is there a term for someone who develops heightened anxiety due to a lack of control? If there isn’t maybe we could name it after me? My God. I am in such a bad place today, and all of the contributing factors point back to ONE thing: having no control over a situation. (The JuicyContinue reading “The Mondayest Monday”

Friday 1/16/26

Lately it feels like I’m constantly holding my breath. I’m sure it’s anxiety, but it’s never manifested itself like this. I mean, you’d think with today being Luke’s last chemo infusion I’d finally feel like I could sit back and breathe, but that’s not the case. I hate not having control over a situation, andContinue reading “Friday 1/16/26”
