At work, had to research custom chocolate bar options. Didn't have right image saved on computer, so made this mock-up instead. #Patchwork

On brisk October evening, enjoyed curling up on couch, wearing cozy sweater, drinking hot tea & chatting with my cancer support group.

Elderly woman asked if I could help her across street. She had just had a doc appt & pupils were dilated. #BlindLeadingTheBlind #WeMadeIt

Despite what others thought or expected, my cooky, loving mom always let me be me. She is why I am where I am today. m.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWyrR…

Note to self: when nursing a lingering back injury, tone down the physical comedy. I mean, at least try. At least try, like, a little bit.

If I'm ever diagnosed w cancer again, I'll promptly announce to family&friends that I hate flowers. I don't understand them. Send chocolate.

Just a lil #GroundhogDay chemo, because that's how I roll. Yes, folks, we're at it again. And Bill Murray is my spirit animal. #Battle5

New low, MTA. A B4 bus driver ignored my request to notify me when we reached my stop. Sat in silence & stared ahead as I asked many times.

I will. I'm blind & need help finding right stop. He not only failed to complete the request but chose to ignore the request was being made. x.com/nyctbus/status…

Echocardiogram tech referred to me as having "too many artifacts" in my chest. I'm not totally sure what this means, but I probably agree.
