I had 4 rounds of the red devil. The first was the worst, but crying red tears is kinda cool. Hope you’re doing okay-ish.

I loved not shaving my legs for 6 months. I’m glad that my eyelashes are mostly back now, though. I keep looking for silver linings.

1. Fiction book
2. Nonfiction book
3. Inhaler (for survival)
4. Burt’s Bees magnolia tinted lip balm
5. First aid kit that I made with my Girl Scout troop and has been surprisingly useful
Note: not my phone that I probably left at home with less than 10% battery

I still vividly remember my elementary librarian handing me this book in third grade. That was the year I became a reader. Thanks, Mrs. Sears.

I’m recovering from surgery and restarted my Animal Crossing island. Incidentally, does anyone have oranges and peaches?

I was diagnosed in March. I've done chemo (that's a wig in my pic), I'm currently healing from surgery, and I'll be starting rads in early December. I'll kick this before the end of the year, but man, it's been a hell of a year.
