I managed to bake for the first time since surgery. I am wearing a giant tensor bandage on my waist for support, but I’m counting this as a win. #fuckcancer

Thank you friends. I lovely lift before chemo Monday. My books hanging out together on a bestseller list. #fuckcancer

Can one have too many olive green coats? I think not. Enjoying the wind in my hair before Monday chemo steals it once more. #fuckcancer

The autumnal shade cast by needled branches stirs up the same euphoria as falling in love. My muse dances to the hues of September.

The pumpkin stars of September.

A delicate encounter

True indeed

My stage 3 cancer diagnosis in the ER would agree.

Walked to my beloved breakwater for the first time since surgery. Gathering strength for the weeks and months ahead. #fuckcancer

Love this!

When I tell my husband I need two minutes, I mean two football minutes—so, like, 20 minutes, a timeout, and maybe a snack break.

Getting ready for chemo 4/6. Best wishes appreciated. Will miss my buzz cut. #fuckcancer

Thank you to BC Cancer nurses who respect the fact that my neurodiversity means being in a noisy area escalates my anxiety. They have once again found a quiet room for me to have chemo. #fuckcancer

A book about a ship on a ship.

Thinking of our friend Sara Ackerman 🐺🗽 today. And honestly, cancer needs to fuck right off.

I am a contronym Merriam-Webster

The ultimate timeline cleanse.

So on top of having chemo today, we also discovered a wasp nest in my bedroom wall (entering from small hole outside). Can anyone in Victoria recommend a good company… or the management of these pests in walls? Have I mentioned I’m anaphylactic to wasps? #yyj

Thank you for all the support during chemo today. Good chance I won’t sleep tonight due to steroids so don’t be surprised by tweets in the wee hours. (Which will be lunchtime in Scotland and 3 days from now in Australia.) #fuckcancer
