Been away for a bit. Found out I had ovarian cancer, had a hysterectomy, started chemo yesterday, had a reaction, finishing chemo today. I’ll end up with six rounds total. In happier news, I’ve had a blast trying out different wigs!

I’m seeing a gynecologic oncologist next week. I’m scared but hopeful. If it’s cancer, and my dr thinks it is, they’re sure they caught it very early.

I have two solid masses and a cyst on my right ovary. It’s possible everything is benign, but I am still in the waiting to find out phase. Blood was drawn on Thursday to screen for an ovarian cancer protein, and I have a second MRI on Monday. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.

One of the things I always look forward to in the spring is getting a peek at my potential class roster for the next school year!! 🥳

If I texted my plans containing confidential student information to a reporter, I would be fired. When Pete Hegseth includes a reporter in a group chat with highly classified military details, that’s just a day that ends in y.

I did an ancestry test and learned the only dad I ever knew wasn’t my biological dad. They can do whatever they want with my data. It’s useless to me.

The cyst on my pancreas is back, along with one near my ovaries. None of the drs involved are panicking, so I will.

It’s a really long story, but I didn’t become a teacher until I was 50. It was my dream job, and now it feels like the wheels are flying off. 😔

Narcissists project ALL the time. That’s how they give themselves away. For example… Narcissist says, “You’re a doodie head.” Narcissist means, “I’m a doodie head.”

I’ll never be convinced she did it. I suspect they thought it would be an open and shut case. Then, she shocked them by hiring kick a$$ attorneys.

I spent last summer watching the trial. I can’t let myself get roped into watching again because I don’t want to end up on Hoarders. I’m on team Karen’s not guilty. Higgins makes me suspicious though.

MRI on my pancreas this morning! Just a yearly follow-up after a pancreatic cyst removal. Accepting good vibes if you have some laying around that you’re not using.

*I let my sixth graders use calculators for most stuff. *I’m fine with whatever strategy they use as long as it works. *I do require them to show me their work because it makes it easier to identify misconceptions (if they have them) and help them correct them. *Rock on with your math selves! ♥️

I won the “Not the Worst Human” award from my cats. I won it by a landslide with record voter turnout. My cats said they’ve never seen a human not worse than me. The RADICAL DOG IN THIS HOUSE SAID SHE LOVES EVERYONE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR PETS TO BE INDOCTRINATED.

What’s it like living in Kansas? (Other than the obvious) It is currently 85 degrees with a blizzard warning for tomorrow.
Screenshot from a weather app showing the current temperature as 85 degrees with a blizzard warning below the current temperature.
