Family Cancer Update

My sister in law (Chrissy's) PT scan revealed that her cancer has taken an agressive turn and chemo is no longer an option.  She will go into a hospice next week and had from three to six months.

My big brother (Scotty) has four to six weeks. The cancer in his lungs has made it hard to breathe even on oxigen.  The cancer in his brain is playing havoc with his motor skills.  They are giving him four to six weeks.  He too will be going into hospice care this next week.

His kids says that he is in high spirits and not from the morphine.



  

2nd Anniversary

We went up to Snowbird for our anniversary.  It was very nice.

Doug is a photog and so the pictures turn out awesome.  This is the inside of the hotel.

 This is the outside of the hotel.  Even IF I could have fit in my swim suit I would not have been as brave as some of the people.  There is still freaking snow on the ground.  In fact it was snowing as we drove up yesterday, flaking really, but snow is snow.  Since I didn't have to drive in it I could enjoy the beauty of it.



 Here is my anniversary present to him.  "Fine.  We can have our picture taken, but if I have more than seven chins NO ONE will ever see it."  Only one chin, so a deal is a deal, happy anniversary love.

ahahah True Confessions

In times of need: Nanowrimo, Chocolate Boot Camp.... there are times when I am not sure where a story should go.  I pull a stone.  I like the Runes and they have been my friends for many years.


Tonight as I finished a scene and while pleased with the word count knew I needed more if I were to scratch, claw, drag myself into third place.

I started a new scene but had nothing to write about.  I drew a stone.  Radio reverse.
"That's the last stone I drew," I said and threw it back in and drew again.
Radio upright?  The stones seemed to be mocking me.  It's Radio, take it how you will...

I laughed and I am going to ponder for a bit.  But then I'm going to write, so ya'll all bewares.
