due to lack of interest, i'm discontinuing the March Hares monthly in-person meeting at my house on the third friday of the month. If anyone in the Bay Area needs to go to an open feri circle, Storm Faerywolf will begin holding them weekly quite soon. There's already an open meeting on the second friday of the month, Winged Serpents. this takes place at his store, the Mystic Dream, in Walnut Creek, as will the additional weekly circles. for info, call the store at: The Mystic Dream 1437 N Broadway Walnut Creek, CA 94596 USA 925-933-2342
good news: my PET scan is clear except for one tiny little lymph node that they will be keeping an eye on.
bad news: all those kids killed yesterday. am i feeling survivor guilt? do i have time, talent, and energy left to make up for the contributions that the world will miss because of the kids dead? should i even be thinking along those lines? (probably not.)
O Fortuna velut luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria. Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite!
i had a PET scan yesterday and later in the day my oncologist called to let me know that the lymphoma is almost completely gone. i still have two more chemo sessions and a final PET scan to make sure it's been eradicated, but the lowest point has been past and i am on the road to getting healthy again. this should take until just before xmas, when i can start exercising and getting my strength & muscle tone back, and decide what to do with this brand-new slice of life i've been given. i feel sooooo lucky. only a month and a half of this chemical roller-coaster through hell to go!!
Meiso has not eaten since Fri. He drank some water today for the first time since last Thurs. He's also lethargic and has been sleeping in the same spot for two days. We have been giving him droppers full of water, tuna-water, and juice fro m his catfood, and force feeding him Laxatone, a hairball remedy that contains molasses, to keep his sugar up. But he's vomited a few times. The first time a couple days ago was just yellow bile. Last night it looked like the juice from the catfood, and this morning a bit more yellow bile.
We have an appt with the vet at 3:30 tomorrow. But we have $40 dollars and no pet insurance. We only get paid once a month, and our payday isn't for a couple more weeks. Would folks be willing to contribute to a kitty crowfund, please? :) With three more payments left on Marion Street Press, we are stretched at the moment. The monthly payments on the loan are huge. So any help with the kitty crowfund would be appreciated. We thank you, and Meiso will thanks you, too. :) There are 28 hours left: http://igg.me/p/265216?a=1683651ht…
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There is a possibility that a pot of gold sits at the end of the rainbow. The likelihood is small, true, but it's not zero. On the other hand, the rainbow is definitely here and available for you to enjoy. Of course, you would have to do some more work on yourself in order to gather in the fullness of that enjoyment. Here's the potential problem: You may be under the impression that the rainbow is less valuable than the pot of gold. So let me ask you: What if the rainbow's the real prize?
