Scott talks about how we’ve become a “texting nation”, and phone calls are out the window these days. Texts are more efficient, and everyones doing it (in record numbers!)
thankful.
I have a lot to be thankful for. Especially this year.
I’m a firm believer in being thankful every day, but sometimes that doesn’t happen…you feel down, and just aren’t thinking about it. Thanksgiving helps with that.

Thirty.
Out of my twenties.
A cancer survivor.

How can the scariest year of my life ALSO be the most amazing eye opening and rewarding year of my life? It’s freaking weird, yo.
I don’t remember the 70’s. I kinda remember the 80’s - transformers and gobots and stuff. The 90’s was all Nirvana. ...

Today, November 2nd, I sat there while he told me I was done.
This was my last treatment. 12 of 12.
12 visits every 2 weeks...
Round 12 with Ivan Drago - tomorrow.
11 of 12 chemo treatments done. 12 of 12 tomorrow. Every single one being it’s own war with it’s own surprises, frustrations, panics, fears.
Tomorrow I get to say “no more” and have my wish granted.
