He ain’t shit.

Life is short, but life is also long. Think about that in terms of who you choose to spend it with. (Courtesy of B, and a sentiment that I think about often.)

Take that nap! Drink that water! Get outside! 

Busyness does not equal happiness. More plans do not equal more friendships. More booze does not equal less cares.

And most importantly: 

February 2020 Blog a Day - Day 4            Favorite body part (photos encouraged)

Being that this is World Cancer Day and I almost never post photos of myself. Top is me and my hair before (with @puffypie), middle, when I shaved my head during chemo in 2018. Bottom, now with gray hair that’s actually growing in rather brilliantly from a cheap, but clever, $7. haircut I got in Northern Vietnam last year.

I’ve been fortunate to have inherited the genes for good hair which is lucky because I don’t know shit about styling tools/potions/brushes and whatnot. I work from home on a farm so being all fancy isn’t a requirement as the chickens don’t care, and the peacocks are vain to notice.

Being light-haired all my life it was a shock that my hair came in fully dark and gray (it still doesn’t match up the the me inside). I haven’t decided if I will keep it or try something else?

Now that I see the shaved head photo I kind of miss how easy that was - plus empowering — I felt like I was channeling both a lady truck driver and an art critic (but I’d need big jewelry).

A huge nod of thanks to the folks who so normalized shaved heads on women I was rarely asked if I had cancer even though I almost never wore a scarf or a hat. Made the cancer journey that much easier not having to explain.

What headline would you like to see when you wake up tomorrow?

There are probably a few I'd like to see, such as "Cure for Cancer Discovered" and "World Leaders Unanimolusly Agree to Nuclear Disarmament". But I'll settle for

(way oops.)

18. Where are you with your 2019 goals?

The only goal I really made for 2019 was to lose weight and I haven’t lost any. But I haven’t been trying either so then that’s no surprise.

It’s hard to make goals when you don’t know what you want out of life.

It’s a small thing, but:

All of them?

I suppose if I have to narrow it down:
